My most stupid and disgusting story is now LIVE (lol) at Die Laughing! dielaughingmag.com/2026/04/10/r... Wanna see raw meat influencers gone feral? (I really wish this would stay satire and not reality 😕) CW: no seriously, it's gross

This brthday bitch says: 52?!? I DEMAND A RECOUNT! (Seriously, though. Might be better than 50. Have hope, young 'uns.) Today Richie is treating me to a lavish Moroccan brunch at Aziza, then we're going dancing to David Harness at Audio SF's daytime party. Love you all, and happy to be here 💝

Hello! I have something *perfect* for cunty horror, but didn't see if reprints (that I retain the rights to) were acceptable. Let me know if that would be OK, and thanks so much, can't wait to read this collection!

TWENTY YEARS AGO today the Living Dead Girlz had our first performance! Kicking off five years of Amber’s choreography, youtube parodies, horror cons, deep/dumb bonding, and over-the-top hemotechnics.

Are you looking for some freaky sh*t? (no judgement) Check out these wild rides: MOONFLOW by BITTER KARELLA Cosmic sporror featuring a trans mycologist trapped in a psychedelic mommy-milker-cult of TERFS powered by the eldritch gods of the forest. Extraordinarily funny and SO VERY, VERY MOIST.

THE GOLDFINCH by Donna Tartt Another Dickensian epic featuring the woes of an orphan and the trauma-to-addiction pipeline, but packed into an art-heist thriller set in the New York antiques world. (Even after 771 pages, it was hard to leave this world behind!)

CASUAL by Koji A. Dae Sci-fi dystopia that explores bodily autonomy via a pregnant woman forced to discontinue the neurological implant that manages her mental health symptoms. Dae writes powerful interiority and immersive settings in a world far too close to our own.
