Black Door Calling

Head throbbing, Mosfet pushes himself up from the floor and makes his way to the bathroom mirror. He attempts to look, but it’s difficult. His mouth, his lips, and his freshly cut stray stubble are…

Im tired of waiting on Kickstarter. Watch this space...

HyphenPunk @hyphenpunk.bsky.social · Jul 23

Then it's great. Usednut for years. I only go back to Word to write contracts. Plus it runs on a Chromebookwhich is great for me

HyphenPunk @hyphenpunk.bsky.social · Jul 23

It's great as long as you don't need to create locked documents with only certain editable areas, like signed contracts

I have cried twice today, both times over musicians.

I just had a good cry over Ozzy. R.I.P. prince of darkness.

My first cry today was listening to the new Dropkick Murphys album. The last song is a tribute to Shane McGowan. I shed many tears while driving up the interstate for that one.

Snail Night

Through the lenses of her magnifying goggles, the pteropods swirled and spun in her vision in delightful clarity.

Have a restful break!

HyphenPunk @hyphenpunk.bsky.social · Jul 11

Yeah. Most people don't have the patience to wait and take the long route in those games. People are too addicted to instant gratification, hence how they make their money.

The summer issue of HyphenPunk will drop as soon as my surveys come in.

Here's the cover though!
Martin's Deep does great afrofuturism art, and I'm glad to have him grace our cover again!

The use of Gen AI is unethical. Full stop. It contributes to climate change, it harms poor communities, and it steals from working writers and artists like me. If you publish a defense of AI in your literary journal, your journal and you have lost credibility in my view and the views of many others.

The Big Bundle of Queer Awesomeness is 110 books for $100 dollars, AND it's broken down into smaller sub-bundles by genre (Contemporary & Historical, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Fantasy Romance, Urban & Contemporary, two Dark Fantasy & Horror bundles). I'm not in it; I just think it's a great deal!

I really hate living in Tennessee. Anyone hiring in a good state that pays enough to take care of my family?

HyphenPunk @hyphenpunk.bsky.social · Jun 17

There is only 4 days left of the HyphenPunk Kickstarter, and we're still 80$ shy of our goal to get things going.

Please help out, even if it's just by sharing this.

International Humanitarian Law must be respected. No exceptions.

Because when war has no limits, civilians pay the price.

As #G7 president, Canada must stand up for the humanitarian principles all G7 governments have committed to upholding.

🧵 of radical zines about anti-fascist organizing and mutual aid that I gave out yesterday at my local #NoKings rally!

They're all free to download - you can print out copies and give them out at rallies, festivals, or other events, or put them in little free libraries.
