Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. 💙💛 Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ... TikTok video by HBCU Student Action Alliance

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

Poem

100%, especially when used with the word "despite"
I mean "even though" is fine and all all but "despite.the fact that" just hits different

Why have I seen nick fuentes stupid ass like three times on my feed just now
Why are yall spreading and reposting that
Stop that
We know he sucks shit

Fucked up, we all know the correct way to watch Ninja Scroll is late at night on an nth generation VHS bootleg, the volume one notch above mute and your finger on the Source button at all times

A picture of the "Let's see who's hiding" meme, but the text reads "Let's see who's really Behind the Bastards", and Fred's face is replaced with that of Robert Evans and the masked crook turns out to be Jeffrey Epstein

I had this idea for a joke.

don't forget they were trying to sell you NFTs on latenight talk shows, they were asking you to join the Metaverse without any legs, they were claiming you could raise your family up out of poverty on gambling apps.

now it's 'writing' 200 books a year - the same shitshake with a new flimsy straw.

I'm trying! I'm trying!!

Like short stories but are tired of dojng the same inane discourse about stories from 70 years ago?read my newsletter and discourse about stuff from @strangehorizons.bsky.social @kayv.bsky.social @ancillaryreviewofbooks.org and crucially, the 2nd Red Krayola album buttondown.com/shortstoryre...

Screenshot from Tumblr User hatingongodot: “In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“ LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy User Shitacademicswrite: i thought maybe this was fake, but there’s even a citation! Taejong Sillok Book 7. 5th year of King Taejong’s Reign (1404), February 8.

Never forget the anniversary of King Taejong falling off his horse!

"The Coffinmaker" by Jude Kar - Seize The Press We buried my little brother inside a condom. Mom was upset; she didn’t appreciate the philosophy behind my work. After the funeral, I was ousted from the house. I moved to a small Turkish island in th...

The first story from Issue #13 is now free to read!

Jude Kar's "The Coffinmaker" is a surreal trip through the final days of Caspian - a coffinmaker, an artist - as he attracts the ire of the camel-headed locals and raises questions about what we leave behind when we're gone.

Effective altruism is pro-life for atheists: they can advocate for people who exist hypothetically and don’t have to listen to the needs of the living.

and the forthcoming Cellar below the cellar—I do recommend everything Grimes!

As if you needed any more reason, folks. Best not risk this.

Gentle reminder for anyone still building awards consideration & reading lists for awards, reviews, retrospectives or general books to read + enjoy,

that both FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN as a first-time horror novel and BOXCUTTERS as a short story collection would cherish your support 🍻

Hell yeah, it's been awhile since I saw you post about how after leaving Vienna, and long before you come to Budapest, the Danube enters a region of singular loneliness and desolation, where its waters spread away on all sides regardless of a main channel, and the country becomes a swamp for miles

FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN (a novel) A man falls asleep on a river raft tube and drifts out to sea, where he is found and devoured by a titan of unbelievable size. But rather than death, what Owen finds inside is a community of fellow su...

Friendly reminder any proceeds I receive for ebooks of FEAST will be going directly to mutual aid. You can set your own price, including free, with no worries.

The book's inherently political but not (I hope) lame about it, turning Hobbes' Leviathan into a kaiju whale-titan sustaining a death cult

Friends, if you have good news about your writing or art, we need to see that. The onslaught of political posting & rallying against fascism is important, but your happiness about your creative wins is part of what people are standing for. Don't let the bastards take that away from you.

I find the specific mentions of Clarksworld, the Hugos, and the Nebulas very interesting.

This is such a stacked issue and I am incredibly excited for everyone to read these stories!!

This was an absolutely fantastic read. Anyone even remotely interested in book culture and online media should get to this one asap.

Let's. Fucking. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
