No effing idea how we got MapQuest in the divorce.

Got to listen to Bonnie Jo Campbell talk about her new book. I might have gotten drenched in the rain getting to the event, but it was definitely worth it.

Hey Chicagoland, with midterms coming up, here’s a great resource for getting info on the Cook County judges who are up for retention election this year. It gives an overview on their histories, notable rulings/controversies, etc.

I’ve got a new short story out in the Bloody Valentine’s Day issue of Tales from the Moonlit Path, about a hookup from hell:

I’m putting together a collection and just realized that I’m looking at 7 years of my life, in 11 stories. Each of these has its own story behind it, which I guess is how you see the world as a creative—that you can follow part of the course of your life by what you created, when you created it.

Does the thought of being sealed inside an old submarine and dropped to the bottom of a literal ocean of blood with a giant angler fish scare the shit out of you, but also sounds kind of interesting? Then let me recommend:

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Even with the corporate workplace always having been fake af, the amount of cognitive dissonance going on right now is “no war in Ba Sing Se”-level psychotic. And complicit.

Being a horror writer is fun because when I have a nightmare so intense that I can’t go back to sleep, I get to turn it into a story and traumatize my readers, too.

So there’s apparently not enough money to give out SNAP benefits next month to keep poor Americans from starving, but there’s enough for a $250 million demolition and new ballroom at the White House?

Hey Chicago, did you know that because the CTA is doing maintenance on the Ventra card readers, they’re letting everyone ride the trains for free all day tomorrow? That’s pretty cool if you and a bunch of other people are trying to go do something downtown.

Very pleased to have my experimental gothic short in Illustrated Worlds, paired with a disturbingly appropriate illustration, just in time for spooky season.

Whenever I watch a nature documentary, I start booing when it shows humans. Then I remember those humans are usually conservationists and scientists, so I take back my boos.

Very happy to start off the weekend with a new horror/crime story out in this anthology! “Wyatt Howe thought he’d silenced Rachel with a bullet. But her pain birthed something far worse.”

Writing a book that has giant flesh-eating mutant cockroaches in it means I have to describe what cockroach faces look like, which means I have to search close-ups of actual cockroach faces Don’t search close-ups of cockroach faces

I’m not religious but I’m pretty sure a double rainbow over a queer-friendly church means God wants you to have a happy Pride

One of the cartoons from Physics for Cats

Title: Soren Kierkegaard, 1843

Image: A three panel comic strip that shows Mr Kierkegaard saying
"Life can only be understood backwards" as he walks from right to left through the three frames (i.e. against the usual order in which these panels would be read)

A dog walks from left to right, saying: "But it must be lived forward"
