Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Ignoring the pathetic, tragic jingoism of popping a bunch of nylon flags on the posts of road signage along a bypass, but these are such obvious hazards it should genuinely merit a national restraining order on the flag twats.

Rosalind Franklin was only 37 when she died of ovarian cancer and she had ALREADY discovered the shape of DNA. She did not live to see her erasure by the Nobel committee in 1962.
Anyway, fuck this guy and restore funding to the cancer moonshot, so the next Rosalind Franklin can live.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Had to clamber over a barbed wire fence, rip my coat and trespass to get a photo of this folkloric monster pretending half-successfully to be a tree. I have no regrets.

Literally any time I have to interact with a fucking printer makes me want to burn the fucking house down. I just want to PRINT. The printer is ON. Why is it not WORKING??
I am genuinely shaking with how angry this is making me, and this is me while medicated.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Anyone craving more folklore and folk horror in their bluesky lives might like the starter pack I made. I'm always adding to it, especially trying to include artists, musicians, performers, morris dancers, mummers, etc. Let me know if I'm missing anyone :) go.bsky.app/LXSZqSM

One of my characters, the Lieutenant, has just returned to our world after an unknown amount of time in the Faelands, only to be met with a whole bunch of creatures that 1) shouldn't be here, and 2) *really* want to eat her.

My work contains Fae, but with a more Eldritch spin on them; the more powerful can glamour themselves, but for the most part they exist as they are, according to their natures, which is often monstrous in various ways.

It varies! I'm a sucker for a good vampire movie (I really liked Blood Red Sky) and Dog Soldiers is a firm favourite of the werewolf genre. Movies where we literally become the monster, whether it's slowly succumbing or wholeheartedly embracing, and the exploration of *why*

#SFFChat Q2: What kinds of monster stories do you prefer (or maybe you don't like them at all! Share what does or doesn't appeal)?
e.g. sympathetic monster stories, traditional monster stories, monster romance, maybe a specific type of monster, etc.

IMO, monsters are there to reflect/project uncomfortable truths, to force humanity to confront our darkest corners, to make sure we don't shy away from taking a good hard look at the parts of ourselves we want to pretend don't exist.
