After 18 months of submitting short stories (and so many rejections), I received my first acceptance last month. Yesterday, I got my second. If you're also in the trenches of Submission Hell, keep fighting for those little worlds you've created. You're gonna see a lot of red 🚫 before the green ✅

When I was seven, my parents took me to see Rocky Horror Picture Show at Film on the Rocks, complete with the shadow performance/interactive elements – that should explain a lot about my unhinged nature. Thank you, Tim, for laying the weirdest foundations for me and so many other weirdos.

Saw the new "Wuthering Heights" movie last night, and I don't think Emerald and I read the same book? Like, not even sure she finished it??

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

ok stay with me on this one... sometimes you have writer's block because you're not in Text World. you have to read until you're back in Text World. if you don't read, you're writing in the real world. sentences won't feel right or they'll look goofy. not in Text World though

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them. There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”. You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not. People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

I started following Alice years ago and learned so much from her words. She was talented, funny and a voice for the voiceless. Thank you, Alice. Rest in power.

We is one of my All-Timers, but I'll be honest, in the four times I've read it, not once did I pick up on the fact that they are building a ship for space invading 😂 It's about so much more than that. Highly recommend, even if you don't like dystopian works.

What is happening in Gaza is a genocide perpetrated by Israel and aided by the U.S., U.K. and any country providing support to Israel. Full stop. No room for nuance, interpretation or debate. "Never again" is happening now and has been for years. We are all complicit for watching and doing nothing.

"no one wants a government handout" It's OUR MONEY. Our. Money. Every purchase, every paycheck, every year's filing, we pay into taxes. That is alllll a government money is. Our money, pooled in hopes it can be used to better everyone's lives, not to provide a "government handout" to the rich.

This is incredibly bleak. What is the point of art if not to experience the world through another person's view or to immerse yourself in an imaginary setting? I want AI to do the mundane tasks that keep me from reading all day, not to summarize art so I can go write emails for executives like this.

If you can't see the point in commemorating the liberation of an entire race in the land of the free for one single day, you are not a patriot, you're an ignorant fool. Happy Juneteenth to those who celebrate, and double birds to those who don't!

Jonathan Joss was murdered in a horrific hate crime. His blood is on the hands of the San Antonio Police Department for failing to do anything about the threats to him and his husband in the past two years. I hope Tristan is able to find peace after such pain.

It's especially obnoxious that this AI book list news is all over the place today, a Tuesday, a day for talking about new releases. There's a new Alison Bechdel! Yiyun Li's memoir! Robert Macfarlane's Is a River Alive? Caitlin Starling's Starving Saints! Madeleine Thien's Book of Records! & more!

Just barely beat the buzzer to get a sub in for @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social Women of the Weird West call. I've been getting weirdly into westerns the past year, so I can't wait to read the final selection of stories, whether or not mine's in the mix. Good luck to everyone else subbing! #writersky

Oh man, Val Kilmer. What a delightful weirdo. Willow will always be one of my favorites, in part because of his performance as Madmartigan. His talent is already so missed.

When they said "You're being dramatic," frankly, we could have been sooooo much more so. But they wouldn't have listened to us anyway.
