I read weird fiction and talk about it! Horror, scifi, fantasy, speculative, short stories, poems, novels
I try to find the sweet spot of:
- interesting & diverse authors
- available free online/at libraries
- weird, thoughtful, strange
It's cool watching what amounts to our generation's public squares constantly being ruined and our connections severed

Precisely at the point when you begin to develop a conscience you must find yourself at war with your society.

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the anniversary of the delayed but welcome news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope — and a reason to keep building a country that lives up to its highest ideals.

Warning, this video might enrage you, because the book bans and creeping christofascism around the US is deeply troubling and Rachel highlights a lot here

Yeah.. I don't want to be a part of any "what genitals were you born with?" book clubs, thank you

Tomorrow I’ll be doing an AMA on @Reddit at 12pm ET on r/Horror.
Come talk Lone Women, writing, comics, or you can ask me why I have a skull on the bookshelf behind me. Should be fun.

Seen this take a few times
🏁 "It's not the authors opinion, they're just writing what the character thinks"
OK, but the *author* decides how much of that characters POV is represented, and how others respond in story
It's weird that some authors try to hide behind "I'm just reporting what the character said"
When they are the ones crafting each sentence in support of larger themes and meaning

THE BOOK EATERS by Sunyi Dean did a really good job building a fictional world around a story of escaping fundamentalism
