I loved talking with @rachelhowzell.bsky.social, @almakatsu.bsky.social, and @alexsegura.bsky.social about what happens when writers jump genres. The risks, the surprises, the freedom. If you’re interested in how reinvention fuels craft, check out the article: www.thebigthrill.org/2025/11/cros...

Day 24 #NoirvemberChallenge Best #filmnoir poster, including international prints. "Best" is subjective but here's one of my personal favorites, a Japanese tatekan poster for The Street With No Name. (Thanks to the eagle eye of @keithrainville.bsky.social for this find!)

Which Film Noir actor stole the scene(s) they were in? @ladykdesigns.bsky.social stole my answer with Thelma Ritter and I already used Hope Emerson, so how about Timothy Carey?

Day 21 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Film Noir not made in the USA. I've already listed some of my favorite foreign flicks in other categories (The Bitter Stems, Black Gravel, Pale Flower) so this year I'll go with The Housemaid. It's deeply weird and pervy (complimentary) and you should see it.

Rain in St. Louis: The cold of a fished-out corpse, all is dim, a darkening of the world akin to a final glaucoma across the eye of god. Let's find out what a gun barrel tastes like.

A decade ago, a FB "fan" sent me faux nudes of my face photoshopped on an adult star's body. It was incredibly disturbing & v real looking. I left FB bc of that & other creepy experiences. Scary as it was, I was a mature woman in my 30s. I can't imagine what it'd be like for teen girls. We need laws
I wrote about this oncoming apocalypse in my Playboy piece - NOBODY is prepared for what easy deepfake technology is going to do to us all.
This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them
