A.V. Greene @avgreenewrites.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I’m returning to social media to be unreasonably grumpy about a tiny thing that doesn’t actively harm me or anyone else, but Jesus Christ I hate “the [insert seasonal fashion trend] edit” phrasing. 210
A.V. Greene @avgreenewrites.bsky.social · 16/10/2025I feel *very strongly* about Apex and I want to live in a literary ecosystem where it survives and thrives. So, help me be good algae here. This metaphor is really wanting to go off leash so I should probably stop, but please back Apex if you can. 01815

Find it in our anthology, Tangle & Fen (link in bio) #horrorstory 021

A.V. Greene @avgreenewrites.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Will someone please produce an actually explicit book about penguins so that the world can see what unhinged penguin material actually looks like, since we seem to be unclear on this point? 020
A.V. Greene @avgreenewrites.bsky.social · 30/01/2025I’m furious that any of these titles landed on this list, but the sheer absurdity of banning Tango to the point that it’s #1 year after year consumes me with a particularly spluttery rage. 110
A.V. Greene @avgreenewrites.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Penguins. They are penguins. Penguins exhibiting well-documented penguin behavior. They are cute penguins who adopt a cute baby.
