Do you like queer/ pulp/ melodrama? Unreliable narrators?

How about stories set in the savage wilds of Hollywood?

"I Am Danvers" is "smart, compelling and darkly comedic"

Obligatory reading for readers and writers. How to safeguard independent publishers? They’re invaluable, taking “risks on books that have been ignored by the wider industry, launch careers and spark stylistic innovation”! #WritingCommunity

The industry must work together to ensure the longevity of the UK’s independent presses.

In the last few weeks we’ve watched ICE:

Pepper spray the Portland frog
Tear gas members of Chicago PD
Zip tie children
Grab Chicagoans from their beds in dead of the night
Open fire on a civilian in her car

Yet they say immigrants are the threat.

Protesters are the threat.

We know better.

I believe we must do all we can to protect our precious voting rights, especially keeping mail-in voting for all! This November, #Maine must vote NO on Question 1 on the ballot.

About to go on a Barbara Steele binge starting with "Black Sunday."

Classic movie poster for "Black Sunday" with gorgeous ink art of a witch-eyed Barbara Steele above a painting of a witch being burned and the coffin from which the witch will rise.

The text reads
STARE INTO THESE EYES
discover deep within them the unspeakable terrifying secret of
BLACK
SUNDAY
..it will paralyze you with fright!
PLEASE NOTE
The producers of BLACK SUNDAY
recommend that it be seen only by those over 12 years of age!

Barbara Steele wearing a black cape in a set lighted as purple night. She holds the chains of two dogs with red devil eyes.

A black and white still from the movie "Black Sunday" depicting Barbara Steele looking apprehensive.

Amazing indeed! Thanks for the heads up @carolinelosneck.bsky.social

Caroline Losneck @carolinelosneck.bsky.social · 10d

Amazing! I did an immersive installation, along with artists Kelly Rioux & Chris Byron & @gitgofilms.bsky.social in the Augusta Colonial Theater called
Home/Resilience. I fell in love with the theater, it’s past, present and future. Neat to see this news: www.pressherald.com/2025/09/30/a...

Augusta-made film, lost for 100 years, to have second Colonial Theater premiere

'In the River,' featuring scenes shot on the Kennebec River and Cobbosseecontee Stream, was found filed under the wrong title at the Library of Congress.

Are you in Australia? Are you gonna be? Wana be? Perhaps you wanna catch a new short documentary I made with Christoph Gelfand + producer Sachi Cunningham, about surfer Aaron Paulk. It's screening alongside films at the Byron Bay International Film Festival Oct 26th. www.bbff.com.au/surf-and-act...

i didn’t include the onion because that would be biased, but i think you should support the onion if you can so all of the amazing writers can with their freedom of speech disrespect all americans equally

Kanopy is THE BEST (so are Libby & Hoopla). Plus, libraries are networked to each other! If a local branch doesn't have what you want, you can maybe get a copy sent there from another city. And if you want a book that none of them have? You can request that they order it! Libraries are awesome! 📚

One can never please everyone, not even the so called writing god Stephen King. I like to remind myself that there are people who like my stuff way more than his. Readers are different. We, weirdos, have to remember that.
