I'm honored to have my exorcism story, "Queen of Hell," in @bourbonpenn.bsky.social alongside these great writers. Happy Women in Horror Month! 🖤

I have three poems in the special Halloween issue of Rawhead!

"Maybe the moon wanted us to stay in love." @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social in @unchartedmag.bsky.social

A RED STAR SHINES OVER BRAZIL! Lula is reelected! Brazilians managed to mobilize and beat Bolsonaro, Trump, Meta, Google, Netanyahu, media oligarchs, corrupt judges, fascism, imperialism, apathy and hatred! May this victory bring hope to all our comrades fighting across the world! We can beat them

Benjamin Niespodziany’s ( @neonpajamas.bsky.social ) newest book “UNCLE TIME” is out now with Gasher Press. This collection of surreal prose poems was the winner of the Gasher’s 2025 Poetry Chapbook Prize! Congratulations!!

My forever mood 🖤 (Huge thanks to @alternatehistories.bsky.social for making their awesome new graphic free for everyone to use!)

Ready and waiting for tomorrow night’s Hunter’s Moon.

On this day in Horror History, THE MUMMY’S TOMB was released in 1942.

RIP Tom Skerrit. Great whatever the role required, but my favourite like most people’s is probably Dallas.

I’m back in @bulbregion.bsky.social with a new micro fiction “But She Didn’t Ask” ♡ grateful to @sarpsozdinler.bsky.social + all of you who read this one 💌 bulbregion.com/But-She-Didn...

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Happy #NationalCryptidDay / #NationalSasquatchAwarenessDay to all who celebrate!

This is the most upbeat and wholesome movie I’ve watched this month, I Married a Witch (1942).

“Weeks after my therapist died, I went to his grave and dug up his body, hoping it could tell me what was wrong with me…” - Go read “Lucky” by Bryane Alfonso! www.matchbooklitmag.com/mb/alfonso/l...

It's OCD Awareness Month and if all you know are the stereotypes, I encourage you to seek out works by those with first-hand experience.

I've forgotten how to write. How do I do this thing again?

I have a new micro fiction story in @havehashad.com! grateful to @aaronburch.bsky.social for my 8th 💀 & you for reading ♡ www.havehashad.com/hadposts/the...

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

“… I felt, perhaps for the first time in my life, or at least it felt like the first time—it always feels like the first time, doesn't it?—a deep, atom-shaped despair.” In Case You Need an Explanation by Ashley Hutson in @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/26_3/hutson....

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 8260: Whatever genre you write, read folklore. Folklore exists because at some point, people cared so much about a certain thing that they put it into a story, and passed it down the centuries in order to keep it alive. That deserves attention.

Many congratulations to Anne Carson for the well-deserved Nobel Prize! This is also great news for Translation, Classics, Poetry, the breaking of generic and disciplinary boundaries, and the fact that you don't have to fit a pre-existing mould to have a brilliant, successful career.

Who else is going to watch North by Northwest tonight? I mean, after watching a horror film.

We celebrate Eva Marie Saint, who died today at 102. A #SagAftraMember since 1947, Saint won an Oscar for her film debut in 'On the Waterfront' and starred in 'North by Northwest.' An advocate for organized labor, she leaves an enduring example for generations of union members.

"The students in central Paris have shown a great sense of solidarity with those in the Paris suburbs who face much worse conditions in their schools. There’s a feeling of solidarity and generosity between teenagers that flies in the face of the notion that we live in an era of selfishness."

“Every child is lost. That’s how it works. If your child isn’t lost, you have failed. What is a successful adult if not a child who has disappeared?“ Love this haunting changeling story on @crowkeys.bsky.social by @janstinchcomb.bsky.social! 🔥 crowcrosskeys.com/2026/04/01/c...

Today, Oct 4, is the feast of St. Francis of Assisi: the day when you can bring your pets to church for a blessing.

Michael Corleone’s murder of Sollozzo and McCluskey at Louie’s in the Bronx. It’s compressed compared to other scenes, but the action continues all the way to Sicily and decides Michael’s destiny.
