If you've ever been tempted to buy something I've made, now is a great time! I'm following up this post with a bunch of links where you can do that. Feel free to share!

My first story collection, GREENER PASTURES, will be reissued in 2027 to mark 10 (!) years with @apexmag.bsky.social. A contemporaneous novelette will be added, new foreword + notes. I’m still so proud of this book, even prouder that readers have never stopped finding it across more than a decade.

Hey! Do you need a dungeon for HIS MAJESTY THE WORM? Have you checked out Julian Phantasm's excellent The Garden of Glass Hours? It's PWYW!

There is a thriving literary scene in Arab countries, and I know because I've checked it out, you wretched melted candle.

There's a constant low-level discussion on English-language bluesky about the electoral consequences of transphobic rhetoric from left-liberals but I think it's honestly worse than "they might not vote for you", it's more like, you're cutting yourself off from political labor and talent.

Out now: From the Library of Jurgen Leitner by premeemohamed.com and jonnysims.bsky.social. Available wherever scary books are sold! Or order online now: https://rustyquill.com/from-the-library-of-jurgen-leitner---a-magnus-novel-by-premee-mohamed-with-jonathan-sims/

Add "between my legs" to a movie title: Much Ado About Nothing Between My Legs

The good, the bad, and the ugly between my legs.

I've definitely seen this in action. The need for so many folks to insist the grapes have always been sour is very weird and very much misses the point. Sometimes your moral framework asks you not to do something you wanted to do. That's when you show who you are.

Me and the regular group who like my posts

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

Thirty years ago tonight, in a little café bar in the Mid-Ohio Valley, I got sent a drink from someone I was very sure was out of my league. Reader, I married her.

I'm looking for an artist who is very inspired by Tove Jansson. Let me know if that's you or someone you know/enjoy. Thanks.

There are so many folks looking for help, so I really appreciate any attention this receives. You're all rockstars!🤩

things about voting in maine that are great: -same-day registration through election day -ranked choice voting -a month of early voting right at your city’s town hall a fantastic platform for the left would be a plan to implement this and more nationwide

I want all trans people to know that Erika Hilton is a black transwoman and the most-voted congresswoman in the history of Brazil, with 1.5 millions votes. She campaigned for Lula over the last three weeks. WE TRANS PEOPLE CAN EXIST IN POLITICS. It’s not a dream. It’s already a reality in Brazil!

Nihilism and despair should never be an option if you're not fighting for survival. Any bit of power you've still got, you use it.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Ok, US, now it's your turn.

HAPPY TO SEE FASCISM CRUSHED? Why not show your support for 🇧🇷 BRASIL 🇧🇷 and check out my amazing RPG that's 100% brazilian made? The pdf is FREE! ⭐️

I was bracing myself for bad news from Brazil and it's such a nice thing to start a Monday with this turnaround. Hope prevails.

these days you can't even slip razor blades into halloween candy without someone raising a huge fuss about it

It's community copy day at outrider-creative.itch.io. Got a number of free downloads of Perils & Princesses and adventure modules including The Princess & The Dragon and Sweet Revenge by @dhowl37.bsky.social and The Secret of the Night Market by @scenefour.bsky.social

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

D&D and Studio X will be holding our election on November 10th! Our workers will vote on whether to form our unions and put more power in the hands of our workers.

On this day in Horror History, FROM BEYOND was released in 1986. Read about more anniversaries and obscurities from Horror History in The Grim Reader, Rue Morgue’s bimonthly newsletter. https://ow.ly/7YRK50YzZos

My first 5 TTRPGs, in the order I played them: 1. D&D B/X 2. AD&D 3. TMNT & Other Strangeness 4. GURPS 5. Torg

“It was just a phase” implies a fixed end point of the Self, which does not exist. We are all Becoming until we die; every ended “phase” becomes absorbed into your whole being

Currently, Hasbro’s guidelines keep us from having total ownership over the work we make in our free time. Our union aims to change that and ensure we own what we make in our free time. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

Like, it's possible that "don't do what the assholes do" could lead you astray but we're in a particularly weird moment where caring about and having expertise in like anything is deeply polarized

No tricks on this @throne.com wishlist, just some treats for me and Giles! throne.com/lynne_m_meye...

People with food allergies/sensitivities can socialize without risking life and limb. No one thinks I'm weird for wearing earplugs at concerts. The concept of extrovert/introvert, tired as it is, makes for more thoughtfully planned social gatherings, and makes saying no to them less painful.

I do not know what is wrong with the Bsky team that they seem to need to keep going through the loop of "fucking up until the SWs yell at them and remind them who built this place," but maybe they ought to look into it
