Going to finish my last event tomorrow and then I am going into hermit crunch time to finish my last short story. The collection is going slower than I ever imagined but I think it is just a learning curve (of so many trials and tribulations) that needed to happen

Computer keyboard has been busted, so I haven't been on often (I refuse to get the app.) Guy cleaned it but it remained an issue, he said 'think about if you want to spend the $300 for new ribbon or if it's okay like this' and I got to drop the pretensions 'I'm a writer.' New ribbon being ordered

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

It's interesting that white people in both parties get away with saying deeply disgusting racist things, and we have crickets... yet Mamdani didn't actually say anything anti-semetic, and here we are.

Yes, next question, unless the next question is "why," in which case I am pulling the lever

Been off sm so much (except for insta) that I forgot to say I signed copies of my book for the first time at Stoker this year. Honored to be asked, honored anyone picked up the book at all, and hope to do it many more times.

Tweet from Morris Katz:

Will have a lot more to say. But hard to tell the story of the Election Day results without @bradlander who went all out in the closing 10 days, defending Zohran, spending nearly half a million dollars attacking Cuomo, and building momentum that could not be overcome.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

My review of Of Beasts by @mjaneworma.bsky.social. A truly stunning queer horror that will stay with me for a long time. Coming Feb 2026 from @clashbooks.bsky.social
A Netgalley review by Vikki of Of Beasts by M. Jane Worma reads:

I had high expectations of this novella, and it absolutely didn't disappoint. Queerness viewed through a religious lens is always going to be both insightful and intense, and Jude and Dante's inappropriate relationship is one that is deep, dark, and destructive. Worma doesn't flinch from the uncomfortable truths, and the taboo, while horrifying, is handled sensitively. The prose is beautiful, compelling, and full of longing.

Of Beasts is a queer horror about toxic love and beliefs that could destroy you, if you let them.

In this political moment, our city needs someone with the energy to stand up to Donald Trump and an inspirational vision of the most our city can be. That’s why I’m endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for mayor.

Was discussing King w/ book friends and remembered the time my mom bought me a bunch of his paperbacks at the fleamarket for me when I was 12 just because I wanted them. It was my first exposure to king; I read in the car otw home. It's one of my favorite memories as a perfect day with my mom.

Living in NYC (a dream), being in communities I love, spending evenings writing with friends, and now having a book come out that ends up side by side with Eric LaRocca... is not a life I ever thought would be mine. And yet.

The trouble with writing in the morning is I descend into madness for an hour, and then I have to clock into work and talk to my employees like I'm not still deep in the visions. My ADHD brain was not designed for this.

a friendly reminder never to buy your books from Amazon, where they are used as a loss leader so that you'll buy a flatscreen TV and your toilet paper instead-- and then use that money to send Katy Perry to space. Books aren't just products. They're culture. Buy them from those who understand that.
