NYT, WaPo, The Atlantic, all these -trusted- media names now existing to gaslight us. To tell us we're not seeing what we're seeing. Because they've long been captured by the bigots and billionaires.

Let's keep this going for today--a day without a Super Bowl--too. Get rad horror books, support folks needing rental assistance during the ICE occupation!
Today, all Cursed Morsels store proceeds that would normally go to me will instead go to rent relief for 16 St. Paul families affected by ICE detention and occupation.
Check out our store if you love weird horror and supporting neighbors during times of fascist terror: www.cursedmorselspress.com

Goo morning, monsters.
The agony of ice underfoot,
osteological crunch
of memorized meals.
A pang,
a promise,
of meals past
and morsels
to yet savor.

All of these ai commercials are so desperate.
It’ll be like your digital servant wife! If someone doesn’t like ai, they’re paranoid! Please use ai for everything because no one likes it and the money’s running out.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?
