😀 Thank you right back.

The Night Cyclist - Reactor "The Night Cyclist" by Stephen Graham Jones is a horror novelette about a middle-aged chef whose nightly bicycle ride home is interrupted by an unexpected encounter.

Today I'm discussing @sgj.bsky.social horror story "The Night Cyclist" with my class. I'm rereading it prior to class. Slow, delightful process bc every paragraph has a lovely use of craft I want to point out to them. What a gorgeously woven piece. reactormag.com/the-night-cy...

'In Gaza, suffering grows harsher each day. As many relief organizations are prevented from reaching families in need, securing food has become a daily struggle, especially during Ramadan.
Just $80 can provide a complete food basket.

Sadly, no. I consider it too risky to enter the US atm.

"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.

White folks get all upset at the notion of “reparations” but don’t seem to mind that we continue to have what are essentially reverse-reparations in this country, especially in much of the South, where folks whose wealth came from slavery continue to strip Black families of land and property. 1/2

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed.

This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year.

They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

I got to narrate a gorgeous story by @aimeeogdenwrites.com for BCS this month! Go listen!!

But I’m doing it.

Patienting hard.
