Thank you for indulging my braggardly ways and saying such kind things about my work. Yesterday was the best book release day ever. I dedicated this book to 'the weirdos and the queers' because you're truly the best people on this crumbling globe.

So, cool news, first, there's a story rec today, albeit a little behind schedule, @rabusby.bsky.social's "Ten Thousand Crawling Children" in @nightmare-magazine.com, second, you might temporarily develop several phobias of things you never found alarming before! (Uh. Hope it's temporary.)

I have a different take on it. As a victim of assault, she now has the power to punish the male gaze. Want to look at her? Does that make you hard? Okay. Go ahead. Whoever does that will end up hard as stone.

THIS IS WHY WE CHOOSE THE BEAR.

After thru-hiker Ellen is forced off trail by a creepy dude, she's glad to find an old trail shelter--until she sees the little girl with the bloody head who needs to be buried. Again. And again. And again.

Read “ALL HER LITTLE BONES”!

Doing your job according to your job description and not working unpaid overtime is taking a toll on bosses and undermining late-stage capitalism. Keep it up!
