The great curse of my position at magic is having to look at a beautiful piece of prose absolutely dripping with insightful and intelligent character work and go “this is great, but it needs more vampires”

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to wake up at 5 am and don 30 lbs of tactical gear you bought off amazon to sit in a chevy tahoe in the parking lot of the elementary school where you kidnapped a five year old kid to intimidate his teachers. good luck soldier
Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

@rkduncan.bsky.social I really dug your hoplite story in beneath ceaseless skies! Must have been a blast (and also a real challenge) to ape the style and tone of those classic greek translations

instead of planes we should just have really big catapults that fire you to your destination at high speeds. way less carbon emissions that way AND if you hit anything in transit you die instantly

"pick your brain" is obviously a gross expression but I'm not sure what the alternative is. open to suggestions. maybe we get even grosser? "hey I'd love to slurp up some of your thought-juice if you have time this week"

When I was driving cross-country my taillight burned out late at night on a long stretch of New Mexico highway. The guy in the process of closing the nearest auto shop fixed my light and refused payment. I tried to give him the six pack in my trunk but he said “his wife don’t let him drink no more”

If you’re reading for awards right now, I would be honored if you would consider Iran+100, the Comma Press anthology I co-edited with Fereshteh Ahmadi and Leila Elder. It’s full of stories from Iranian writers imagining the future of Iran. The Guardian called it “imaginative, audacious, exciting.”

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

This is another horrible verse on the same song: ICE is an evil, illegitimate institution that we must abolish and dismantle.
