Happy book birthday!!! Two years ago today, DREAD THE BOARDS was released. Thanks to everyone who has supported it along the way! #booksky #horror #yalit #middlegradelit

Picture of ebook cover DREAD THE BOARDS by C. Signy Maraine: A black background with an angry-faced red house that is reaching towards two small figures.
Synopsis:
Truman Gertie, in his quest to become an astronaut, has prepared--trained--to solve complex problems, overcome unimaginable obstacles, to survive. Now he finds himself trapped in a house filled with dark, stolen magic--a house dangerous beyond comprehension, aided by a cast of heartless captors bent to do its will. To escape, Truman needs more than his wits to succeed. He must forge an unlikely alliance with the other captives: a betrayer, an accomplice, and maybe even a nemesis from school who wishes him dead.
Anything to escape the Most Dangerous House of Them All.

I've held #hearts In my palms Like a child Holding on To a prayer For tomorrow But it was the day I held a man's heart In anatomy— Bearing witness To how we fall in love With the idea of someone Without speaking Their name When I wondered: Who'll hold mine & feel the same When I'm cold? #poem

The head of the noble house had left a substantial #bequest to a great number of family members, charitable institutions and servants. He was a good man, despite being of the nobility. Ilyna heard about it and knew where her next score would come from. The family didn’t need that money. #vss365

It's disgusting the way people look past someone refusing to stand up for trans people or women or people of color or immigrants or victims of genocide. It is an ethical and moral line and once you stand on the wrong side you have revealed yourself to either be a coward or undeserving of power.

Trans people and other endangered communities deserve better. They see you willingly sacrificing them for votes even as polls show the actual momentum is behind standing up for them. This isn't a game and people need to reject popularism and electoral punditry like the fucking poison they are.

Poem for Monday 🍂 Keeping Things Whole ~ Mark Strand —This is always the case. Wherever I am, I am what is missing —

In a field
I am the absence of field.
This is always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.
When I walk
I part the air and always
the air moves in to fill the spaces where my body's been.
We all have reasons for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.

On Friday, ICE posted 33 detainee mortality reports to their online FOIA Library. Over the weekend, those reports were inexplicably deleted. We have archived them on our GitHub and are sharing them in hopes that the information is useful to journalists, researchers, and the general public.

Dad gave something up every Lent and swore to the priest he'd #renounce it for good. The smokes one year, the bookies the next. By Easter Monday he'd be back at both. After he turned eighty the priest asked what it would be this time. Dad said Lent, and he’s kept to it. #vss365

Bob breezed through the Instagram story template: coffee or tea, tea. Summer or winter, winter. Then he hit the hard one: dog or cat. He adored Leo but longed for a small Pomeranian at home. If only Nora didn’t #renounce dogs. Maybe there was a way to convince her. #vss365

All the man had to do was #renounce his faith in the demonic entity that, quite honestly, couldn’t care less whether the man died or not. He was nothing more than a teeny-tiny cog in a vast conspiratorial scheme among many demonic schemes. That was the way of the game world, really. #vss365
