Aw you need AI to write code or fix bugs for you? You need AI to write for you? You need computer to come up with your ideas? 🥺 What a shame your skills and knowledge are so woefully lacking that the mediocre output of AI seems good to you.

Some unsolicited communications advice re: the Fangoria editor. Throwing a tantrum and making embarrassing comments will always do more damage to you and your publication’s reputation than any criticism will. You also cannot expect sympathy for being “attacked” while constantly slinging ad hominems.

@philnobilejr.bsky.social I don’t know anything about this Bee person, but conflating criticism of a major magazine as an attack and then proceeding to mock people for “skill issues” and not having friends is just embarrassing. Have some professionalism and tact.

Let's whet that appetite with a cover reveal 👅 Our second issue is a buffet for the freaky, and we can't wait to serve. Please, have a seat. Salon Sinister Issue 2 | Cover by Anni Jyn @annijyn.com | Available for free digitally June 4 | Physical release shortly after
A painted/pen drawn/watercolor piece of art featuring a close up of a woman's face. The face is white while her lips are black and there's blood coming from her mouth and eye that's curling and twisting away. Her visible eye has no pupil to the right of her is pink/yellowish swirls of color almost reminiscent of organ meat along with teal, orange and yellow dots scattered near the black border.  Text reads: Salon Sinister Issue 2 in an unsettling scrawl, and the other text in a green box reads "available for free June 4"

HOPE, FOR ME, COMES
FROM THE PAST’
BY ESSAYIST REBECCA SOLNIT
‘HOPE IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS,’ EMILY DICKINSON
famously wrote, and that often leads to pictures of doves sitting
quietly and looking sweet, but what if hope is an albatross that
can soar for years without stopping, or an osprey that can haul
a thrashing salmon out of rough waters? People tend to think
hope is fluffy and frail, but it’s the force that has kept people going in the worst circumstances, the commitment to pursue the possibilities even when they seem remote.
There are so many things hope is not: it is not optimism, which
assumes that the future will be fine, and which requires nothing
of us, any more than cynicism, despair, defeatism and doomerism do. It is not a prophesy of the future, since it arises in part from recognising that we make the future in the present and that it will be shaped by countless factors, visible and invisible, including our own participation. It is not an upbeat feeling or a feeling at all, since people in the worst circumstances have hoped that their efforts to free themselves might be met with success, that their bleakcondition might not be permanent or that their children might live to see a better time.

Too much theoretical/critical writing on horror (and, by extension, rightly or wrongly, on weird fiction) hinges on the _why_ of reception/response (“why do people read/write this stuff”), instead of the _how_ of poetics and formalism (“how is this stuff achieved/conveyed in the text”)

The Salon is now open... The first issue of our queer horror magazine is official live and ready for you to consume. Step inside. Lose yourself. Find your new favorite writer or artist within. We have such sights to show you🖤 t.ly/MGy-2
Text on the right side of the image reads, "Welcome to Salon Sinister: A Queer Horror Lit Mag"
""The work featured in this issue is a look inside the minds of those directly affected by the fascist regime in the United States. The contributors in this issue are strong representatives of a population that not only faces daily persecution, but still finds ways to exist boldly and beautifully under threat."

Below that reads, "Contributors: Abigail Waldron, al dsym, Amber S., A.V. Shurling, Bee Delores, Christine Makepeace, Ciaran Flake, E.L. Rey, Elizabeth R. McClellan, Ell Huang, Garrett Emerson, Genevieve Hugenbruch, Jay Zimmerman, Jaylan Salah, Molly M., Odin Meadows, Tera Freeman, Trevor Kassis."

The right side of the image is the cover of the new free horror lit magazine "Salon sinister" which features a figure cloaked in black with a pale hand emerging within the folds that has pink painted nails. Instead of a face there are big, unnerving teeth seeming to break through the paper. The words "Salon Sinister" are written across the front of the figure in either lipstick or blood. Hard to say which...

Hi, I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner and I endorse this message. People who make you feel bad about being open about your mental illness need to sit with their discomfort and not project it back onto you. Their stigma is not your problem. You are a bright shining star despite your struggles. 🫶🏻

4-panel black-and-white comic by DoodlesByCharlie, dated 2024.

Panel 1: a triangle tells a circle that’s wearing a black facemask: “it’s smart you still wear a mask.”

Panel 2: closeup on the triangle saying dramatically, “when i had covid, i couldn’t taste for nine months. it hurt to breathe. my lungs haven’t been the same…”

Panel 3: the masked circle holds out a facemask, saying, “i’m sorry. i have masks you can use.”

Panel 4: the triangle loses interest, walking away with its arms held out. “no, i’m fine!!” the masked circle just stands there, bewildered, holding out the extra mask.
