When "all of this" is over and the centrist pundits and politicians are kissing Musk's ass again, don't let them. Don't let anyone ignore that Musk is a mass murderer.

Just a note, I'll be at Voidcon ONLY on Saturday because my car rental totally fell through at the last minute and delayed my arrival a full 24 hours 🫩 but still looking forward to catching the end of the fest!

I'm going to be co-hosting a panel on kink in horror on Saturday in Gettysburg @voidcon.bsky.social with @probablyharmless.bsky.social, announcing it here because I didn't realize I was on it until Theo mentioned it to me last week 😂 but it's going to be fun!

Thoughtful analysis also makes it easier for people to talk about art in ways that go beyond the "wiki/short vid" approaches that have led to a lot of people thinking that listing quick half-truths about fictional canon is the same as media literacy

"I have seen the greatest minds of my generation stuck writing 1000 word listicles about the MCU for $12 a pop..."

Critical writing about movies/comics/books/etc is so important, moreso after years of the powers that be making it seem interchangeable with online reviews and listicles. I wrote a whole zine about Scream because I got so sick of surface-level takes on that franchise.

I always think I'm going to get so much work done on a train but it's really an excuse to think the weirdest thoughts I've ever thought for hours on end.

I've been on a train for about a day so I've had a lot of time to not sleep and to think increasingly disconnected thoughts.

This also indicates the essential dishonesty of saying “it’s just a tool.” A hammer is a tool. Nobody writes about the “inevitability” of hammers. Nobody has ever studied the harmful effects of hammers on learning and concluded that teachers must all hit their students with hammers “responsibly.”

Usually this is something I feel underqualified to talk about but my last published short is basically about a woman who loves being home so much she learns to have sex with her apartment so maybe I do know about kink in horror, we'll see.

Just have to take a beat to say that the people that have long warned about state violence and the militarization of law enforcement were right.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Doaa. Doaa is the mother of 3 children Omar, 10, Yasmine, 8 and Youseff, 4 but she primarily started this fundraiser to help her sister Amal who lost a husband and son and is trying to support her children Hiam, 13, Omar, 12 and Jawad, 7.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

The illegal USAID cuts are the thing that broke me

A complete dismantling of constitutional governance in order to facilitate crimes against humanity

What Trump, Musk, the Supreme Court, etc have done to these families is beyond cruel, beyond heartbreaking, beyond unforgivable
