Sex is normal and does not need to be cordoned off from the rest of the human experience. Integrating it makes people feel better!

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"

Been thinking a lot about this since it came up among some writer pals: Writers, do you have a short story you consider your signature or flat out best work? Why that one? Good feedback, dear to your heart, good blend of what you like to do best? Every answer is interesting imo

They're not going to run out of the absolute worst people with the absolute worst politics to replace the previous absolute worst person with. The barrel is bottomless, we have to eliminate the position, the agency, and unbuild the whole institution.

His name was Alex Pretti, he was 37. He was recording ICE, directing traffic, and helping up someone agents had shoved to the ground. They murdered him for it.

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.

Inspired by a recent post from @clairewillett.bsky.social, allow me to share some facts about Renee Nicole Good that I found last night in public records that are appearing in few, if any, articles about her. Keep in mind this took me HALF AN HOUR to find & is 100% public records.
