I'm also adding that no matter where you live, odds are good that more blood is needed.

Name a song with girl in the title but replace girl with squirrel: Fat Bottomed Squirrels

If anyone is a fan of horror by BIPOC authors, pre-orders started today for a new book by Tatiana Schlote-Bonne, via Boozhoo Books boozhoo.binderybooks.com/item/1ILBaRy... I enjoyed her first two novels. My review of her first book can be found at marvelish.me/such-lovely-...

My thoughts and feelings right now as they pertain to the Bondi Beach shooting come in poetry form. marvelish.me/the-word-for...

Kat is one of my dearest cancer buddies, a lovely and lively person as well as a talented artist. She's the one who did my profile picture! If you can spare even a few dollars to help her, I would be grateful.

This is neat! tribalbusinessnews.com/sections/art...

#3157 A helpful tutorial

Hej, to je fakt super! Předám to dál.

Read this ASAP. Seriously, this series rules. As a casual magical girl enjoyer, this series strikes a perfect balance of character work, tone, style, and vibes that tells a beautiful story about figuring yourself out, and then fighting for that life against the forces of evil.

Looking for artists! Are you or someone you know great at logo design? I'm interested in possibly getting one made for things like bookstagram, my website, etc. I'm also absolutely expecting to pay for it. I'd rather pay someone in my social circles than a total stranger.

This is still the only book I've written a fan poem for. It's about toilets but also not really, and you can read it here: marvelish.me/manifesto-in... I need book 2, @aaronsofaer.bsky.social

My favorite irony this year is how Talia declared this in the spring and then proceeded to write one of the most popular works of fiction of 2025 😂

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite. But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump may actually be part of that global elite. Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

Oof.

Another of my reviews is on the internet, this time a Korean Sapphic vampire murder mystery: The Midnight Shift by Cheon Seon-Ran This one really resonated with me, for Reasons. #booksky lesbrary.com/the-midnight...

My newest review is up, this time for The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social. I say "review" but it ended up being more than that, because this book had a pretty profound impact on me. marvelish.me/the-buffalo-...

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

The good news: praguemorning.cz/czech-republ... The bad news: I'm sure you can imagine the comments.

I’ve got nearly 100 books for sale on Pango and if they don’t sell this week they are going to a little free library! I’ll include a book bingo card with every order until I run out: pangobooks.com/bookstore/ja...

After hundreds of hours of reading and research, my 2025 Starter Guide to transfeminine literature is finally live! No matter your experience level, there's a book for you! 🏳️‍⚧️📚 #transbooks The list covers a vast range of genres. There are 78 handcrafted recs on this list, and I've read all but two.

A poetry Discord I'm on had discussion about how unreliable AI detection sites are. Curious, I put the most recent piece I wrote into GPTZero to see what it thought. This is its reasoning for why one particular sentence was probably AI. At least it thinks "Horror." is probably human.

thats nuts

It's great to see this happening in my home town! I have fond memories of the Madison Children's Museum growing up in Madison.

I'm a US expat, queer, married to a Czech PoC. Going home feels perilous right now. I also have stage IV lung cancer—maybe a year left, maybe twenty. That means I don't know if I'll ever safely see my people again. Last night gave me the first breath of hope about it I've had in months.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

the mtg/linguistics/trans nerds have translated "death before detransition" into phyrexian.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

I'm reminded again that Teen Vogue does better jorunalism than so many other publications, and that I really should subscribe to help support that...

DON'T FORGET!

I've been reading more horror this year, and here's one book that I really enjoyed! My latest review is up for Such Lovely Skin by @thebuffwriter.bsky.social marvelish.me/such-lovely-... #booksky #horror #fiction

The new book "Kta'nã: Mohican Heartbeat" is out now from the Mohican Writers Circle. Important work I should've shouted about sooner, but honeymooning, moving, life… better late than never, right? Links for purchasing can be found at www.mohicanwriters.org #nativesky

I can't believe an apparent professional writer admitted to this...

My first cancerversary was last month, and this is how I spent it. I'm still here, still grateful to be.

Because of Indian Boarding Schools and the traumas they cuased, I grew up with essential zero connection to any of my indigenous roots. My mom didn't even find out that her dad had been sent to one until after she was an adult and he had passed away, when her mom told her.

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

I wrote a new poem. If you like poetry, then I invite you to read it. You can read it if you don't like poetry too, of course. marvelish.me/honing-the-s...

This is an excellent thread, well worth reading.
