Cover of She Isn't Herself Tonight by Hailey Piper, art by Caroline Johnson, depicting a woman caught between neon lights, her face fracturing into reflections of itself. Beneath the title is a quote from Rachel Harrison calling the novel "Blissfully twisted and genuinely heartfelt."

Cover reveal day!

I'm thrilled to announce my new novel coming from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social, SHE ISN'T HERSELF TONIGHT

Alien abductions, a break-up from hell, and what we become when our worst enemies are ourselves.

Light your skies, October 27th 🛸

Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today.

Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st.

You're going to pay in for 298 more days.

This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us.

Scrap the cap.

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.

It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

Q: "You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school…but you're the only person in your government saying this…Why are you the only person saying this?"

Trump: "Because I just don't know enough about it."

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

...and so many more. The list is endless. I'd love to know who YOU would add to that list.

...the wonderful editors, both at various publishers (small and large) and anthologists like Lindy Ryan and the GOAT, Ellen Datlow. Add to that horror influencers like Sadie Hartmann and Becky Spratford, and booksellers like Ryan Clark, Meg Wasmer, Vickie Roberts, Lisa Dolbow...

My favorite thing about Women in Horror Month is seeing the wonderful posts in which my friends and colleagues are lifting one another up. As writers, women give horror so much of its depth and innovation, and a huge % of the genre's readers are women. But I'd like to take a moment to shout out...

U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows The evidence contradicts President Trump’s claim that Iran was responsible for a strike at the school that killed 175 people, most of them children.

Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

Fox ran older footage but labeled it as happening Saturday.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

Counterpoint: Limiting how US troops can be used illegally in unconstitutional wars of the president’s own choosing *IS* supporting “the troops.”

Fucking burn it down

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Maggie Gyllenhaal wrote and directed it with fury, sorrow, humor, and more than a bit of madness. I don't think I'd have liked it nearly as much on a TV screen, however. If you're at all interested, you should see it in theaters. (I saw it on Imax and was swept away.) 2/2

THE BRIDE is tanking at the box-office, which bums me out. It's a wild, daring vision full of what's often called female rage, but also about otherness and loneliness and what makes a monster. I was completely captivated. There's a lot of negativity out there, but this is a brilliant film. 1/2

Guardian points out reporter Estefany Rodriguez “produced reports that were unflattering to ICE” — and she and her husband were in a marked Nashville Noticias vehicle when they grabbed her🤔

She is reportedly being held in Alabama

Holy shit! This is a whole ass shit show. This is an American woman living in the UAE. My country is being run by complete imbeciles right now. Not to mention how badly they’re lying to us with little amount of information they are putting out. I’m just ashamed. #TrumpsEpicFailure

Not only did this white nationalist dick know his Nazi tattoo was a Nazi tattoo but he quit the Marines to keep it. Can we be done w/him now? I get he's a bluecollar coded white guy & that makes Dem elites cream their jeans thinking they can pull GOP votes but goddamn it's been time to cut bait

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

On April 4th, join us at Northeastern University for the Emerging Writers Summit! It's FREE!

This is the kind of “leader” that historically views “glory and honor” as the amount of casualties racked up.

Absolutely unfit to lead a drunken conga line, let alone this nation.

Noem is out largely due to massive public activism, especially in MN, Democrats expressing increasing interest in impeachment and investigations, and resulting media coverage.

Keep pushing. These people are not invincible or immune from public opinion.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.

Full stop.

"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name

We have to stop this.

Everyone needs to be talking about this.

Jesus Christ what an absolute turncoat piece of shit Fetterman is
