I was having a conversation about poetry and I got onto talking about this particular webcomic by @hauntedsink.bsky.social and Emily Horne. Three words juxtaposed with a single photo and I could probably write an entire dissertation about it. I just fucking love it.

I hope that you are a disaster. I'm sorry, but I do. I hope that you are thunder and lightning. I hope you are a forest fire, I hope you kill the dead wood and burn off the rotting leaves. With the canopy gone, the sun can get in. You need new growth. I hope you're terrible and broken and perfect.

I think newspaper obituaries should always have young, swimsuit pictures of the deceased. Really drive home what was lost.

This is an indescribable still frame from some kind of children's puppet show. the energy could generously be described as insufferable and unstoppable. The show is Nanalan'

Bloody thing from @hauntedsink.bsky.social isn't set on random but this is how the horrors pile up, not neatly buttoned but sloppy, bc it's like childhoods end coupled w hairy monsters + the pain of feeling too much for your bestie + headless ghosts chase you + 3 kinds of agony just. won't. stop.

I cannot help but notice we are sitting-in-a-tree. So, you know, maybe we could think of something to do... verb-wise.

Ma prochaine traduction (9 avril) est là. Un design original avec une jaquette comme je n'en avais jamais vu. Le double rabat peut aussi servir de marque-page. Un design intéressant. Oh, et c'est de l'horreur. 😇

I remember when I was first learning Perl I wrote silly mad-lib style haiku generation scripts. They were completely random and led to some funny turns of phrase. If only I'd known that the future of human creativity was claiming that nonsense expressed something inside me.

Big recommend. By @hauntedsink.bsky.social It’s small enough to go in my bag and they’re short stories so I read it mostly when I have to sit and wait somewhere. Sometimes it’s…weird…given the nature of the stories. Big recommend anyhow. For private and public reading. ❤️

my story "And then the werewolf" - write what you know? asofterworld.com/joey/stories...

"You should kill him instead," I say. "You could be a murderess." I love that word. Murderess.

"He's not worth it," she says.

But it would be worth it. Of course it would. I used to read about murderesses, hidden in the back of the library. The big book of murderesses. I read that book again and again. That was the first time I fell in love. Page 67. She killed her whole family in the middle of the day one Sunday afternoon. In her picture, she scowled.

My murderess.

"Martin is going to Bible Camp for the summer. He's going to learn archery and swimming, and he's going to make new friends. He's pretty excited, but that's probably because nobody told him that this is a horror novel!" Available in paperback again! Or as a DRM-Free ebook! Or just for free! xo

A splattery, surreal, slashy summer camp adventure that's also somehow every horror combined (including a nefariously Marigold-decaying Toronto) but the best/worst part isn't the graphic kid deaths but the very wrong way @hauntedsink.bsky.social gets me to care for Martin and his mom.
