Hi bluesky people.
I write #horror. I'm the author of the #gothichorror novel FAIREST FLESH (Elizabeth Bathory + Snow White but feminist), and novella HOUSE OF PUNGSU #joseon Korea feels + more feminism). I like things sorrowful, haunting, beautiful, and horrifying, usually with a dash of history.

All of us are those lanterns. It feels like it does nothing to light it, but in the darkness, it can be seen for miles around. Little fires of hope.

Kristy Park Kulski @garnetonwinter.bsky.social · 2d

And in the depths of our beings, we will believe in goodness and it will inform our resistance. Laughter will be a hammer blow to those who grasp at control. Our fires will run on injustice and burn it up, glowing all the while with hope and grit and goodness.

I only know that we must live a life. Must continue. We will have birthday parties for our children, we will laugh, and we will cry. We will curse and drink to the health of our friends.

When your kiddo insists on celebrating Chuseok and to honor their halmoni. ❤️ I am so thankful for these moments and days. How beautifully they carry their halmoni's name. How wonderful it is to see the dreams of the ancestors bloom into the brilliance of today. Happy Chuseok, friends.

"I used to believe those who looked like me chose to be silent and passive--except we were not silent, but silenced, and we had always spoken up despite this. We were never voiceless, only our pens & our mics were taken. I fight to reclaim them."-- J.S. Park, Hospital Chaplain

How ironic (tragic) it is that Andor is a Disney series.

"The imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks. It leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."-- Nemik's Manifesto
