This is pure bad faith from MRM—they are not new to this business and are perfectly aware this is all bullshit. These magazines essentially no longer exist: they were bought simply to use their reputations as a trap to suck IP out of writers and artists who don't know any better.

Down to needing just $350 more on October rent arrears! Almost there. And I deeply want to get this handled before it drags on much longer. :/ So. Have freelance editing I can take on? Rates, partial CV, etc. at: mathesonfreelancing.com If not, feel free to pass the word along.

BREAKING: In Nebraska rally, Trump just suggested he would be unbothered to see Iran "take out" LA or San Diego: “They could take out a city,” he said. “Let them take—Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That’s—this is a very small price to pay."

Whyyyyyy don't I have cheese balllllllllls

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

Venkman is an asshole to Dana, but comes through in the end when he understands she can't consent, huh.
