kiss your devils in los angeles 🩸 DREAMLAND coming 8.18.2026 lnk.to/DreamlandOli...
DREAMLAND by Olivie Blake cover designed by Will Staehle featuring a hand holding a candle in a birdcage with surreal flora and pigeon (you’ll see) surrounding. navy cover with blue and orange elements with surprisingly acceptable orange sprayed edge on blue background From New York Times bestselling author Olivie Blake comes a tantalizing story of power, seduction, and the omens you’ll ignore when everything you’ve dreamed of feels just within reach. The headlines are calling it the "summer of exsanguination" in LA—girls are being murdered, the Santa Ana winds are blowing a strange energy into the city, and all signs point to fire season. More pressing for Anya Morris, though, is the drudgery of living at home, working part time at the family store, and contending with her mother's disdain for the acting career Anya knows she's destined for but that feels more impossible by the day. It’s in this suffocating late summer heat that Anya receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an invitation to work for the de Witt family, one of LA’s most influential film dynasties. Soon, she’s spending her days and nights at their strange villa high in the Hollywood hills, where she meets Jude, a recluse who is both the family’s heir apparent and its most closely guarded secret. There’s a magnetism to Jude that Anya cannot resist, despite warning signs that scream like sirens in the night. Because the villa holds generations of bloodstained history, and an occult family curse may even live within its walls—or within Jude himself. In this city, everyone cuts a deal with the devil. When Anya comes face to face with a devil of her own, she’ll learn just how far she’s willing to go to get everything she’s ever wanted.

Immigration is not "the problem" in any meaningful sense anywhere in the world, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to justify their own embrace of or capitulation to fascism.

This is an absolutely tragic gutting of one of the best politics desks in the country

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

The Jack of Spades, featuring Fox and Brandt from @olivieblake.bsky.social 's Masters of Death. The story revolves around a game where immortals gamble against Death himself. No cards are actually involved, but illustrating them on a playing card felt very fitting! #bookish

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

wrote a little essay about prose, 90s historical romances, and why fascists love AI so much 💕

NEWSLETTER: on purple prose this isn’t an essay about how writers used to be good and now they’re bad (untrue, boring). i think it’s an essay about my fear that we have pruned our gardens too ruthlessly, and saved no corners for the impractical, the vivid and wondrous, the joyous and fantastic. that we call prose “purple” because we’ve gotten too used to prose without any color at all.

Immigrants are a social good, anti-immigrant propaganda is basically all lies, and any approach to the "problem" that doesn't start form those two points is worthless
