Please don't *ask* HWA members to put your work on the Recommended Reading list. You can let them know it exists, that you appreciate their consideration, where to find it. The page I linked to has details about how to do this. But asking / begging / bargaining for recs is against the rules.

Laura Blackwell (she/her) @pronouncedlahra.bsky.social · 2d

HWA folks! Have you recommended others' work to the Recommended Reading list for the Bram Stoker Awards? Horror writers, have you submitted your own work to the juries? Here's how! You can even click through to the full rules if you're intrepid! www.thebramstokerawards.com/submissions/

Today is National Coming Out Day!

It's also Freedom to Read Day, aka the last day of Banned Books Week.

This feels right — because the main reason they try to ban books is to keep people from dreaming they could ever come out.

I just learned of her passing and I am so sorry because she seemed like a wonderful person, and I loved so many of her performances, but... defending that creep after all the harms he has done is... not okay.

Saw a thing from the Atlantic titled "Why is Joe Rogan so popular?" The lede is "He understands men better than most," and that is not it AT ALL. People who struggle against patriarchy & cissexism understand cis men better than most, because they *have* to.

This sounds like something Homer Simpson would do out of laziness like he did in that one Halloween episode -- did the guy who did this not see that? Seriously, though, just... I don't even know where to BEGIN with how wrong this is

My favourite part of ANY Lestat is always when he speaks but particularly when he curses in French -- so my favourite part of the new IWTV s3 trailer that dropped recently was when he told Louis to go f*** himself 🤣

👀 Did youu seee the Akasha announcement, Danny? AHH I'M SO EXCITED -- also yes! There's a reason Lestat earned the moniker the Brat Prince... he had a lot of peak brat energy as rocker Lestat lol

Danny Lore @weredawgz.blacksky.app · 1d

When people are like wow i always thought rocker Lestat was cringe like

He was always cringe, part of the reason he goes through that phase is bc he was always that dude and you understand who he is better in the modern context and so you’re embarrassed lmao

Hi, if you are an author, and you have a virtual assistant? You should be paying them fairly. I don't give a fuck if your assistant is your best friend or your cousin. You should be paying them and paying them fairly.

And if you can't pay them fairly? Then don't have an assistant.
