I see some on the left seeing the far-right descent into conspiracy theories ostensibly critical of Israel is a victory. But this is what it actually looks like, and it is the same terror rebranded.

Post-Zionist Christian Nationalism
Joe Rigney shows what far-right Christian nationalism will look like after Christian Zionism, and it's just as ugly.

I read Billy Martin’s ‘Angels’ from his short story collection Wormwood last night—what an amazing piece . Read like an exquisite prose poem. An entire world captured in 21 pages. Has anyone else read it? Looking forward to the rest of the collection.

Do you like weird, super low-budget horror film oddities like THINGS, THE BURNING MOON, BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL, and THE ABOMINATION? If so, check out my book HAND-HELD HELL, newly back in print from @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social. You can pick it up here: jburning.bigcartel.com/product/hand...

Every day I'll post some drawings until I don't. This one from 2017 still a fav. Meanwhile the government of my country is shoving 23 billion of our money in AI and still talk about sovereignty and environmental concerns. What a bunch of assholes.
Between ruins two womans stare to the viewer. A snake partly destroyed crawling under the legs of one woman. An Greek statue in the background. Some camellia's in the corner in front of a deteriored wall.

Spotted at Harvard today. Not great at all at how this nazi is being mainstreamed and normalized. This shit is absolutely not welcomed here. Used water from my water bottle to erase part of it.
A brick entrance gate to a university campus, with people walking inside on a sunny autumn day. On the pavement in front of the gate, a message is written in large yellow chalk letters that reads, “Nick Fuentes is right about Israel.” Fallen leaves are scattered across the ground.

@michaelwhelan.bsky.social Nifft the Lean is one of my favorite Sword & Sorcery books of all time, as is the amazing cover. Could you talk a bit about how this cover came to be? Did the brief describe this scene specifically, or were you provided a manuscript to make your own choices? Thanks!

Beyond the simple moral imperative to feed people with no strings attached, I think it's important to consider the beautiful, transformative things that happen when people no longer have to spend all their energy fighting for their basic needs. Life becomes so much better for everyone in every way!

This trilogy connects with the plot of the Weird Luck webcomic, in strange oblique ways that will be referenced in the next chapter of the comic's main storyline (coming in January). Most notably, the 3rd book of the trilogy includes the last known sighting of Max before his appearance in the comic.

I spent several formative months studying alongside artist Ted Seth Jacobs, who painted this cover, and designed the creatures for the film. ‘Communion’ terrified me when I first read it the mid-90’s. Absolutely iconic painting

For some reason, I’ve never given Ghost much of a listen. Maybe it’s their new album, hearing Mary on Cross in tons of different memes, or the cool fall weather, but lately, I’ve become pretty obsessed. Always been a sucker for melody, and they’ve got some great ones.

Dear authors, never apologize for telling us about your new books. People are hungry to support real art, made with the human brain, and the human heart, and typed by human hands. Please scream your work from the rooftops. You are so necessary and you deserve your flowers.
