Counter-argument: You should use Sinners to springboard yourself into some other Black American horror like the following

After you watch Sinners, you should read George R.R. Martin’s excellent and underrated vampire novel

"U.S. District Judge Julia E. Kobick has issued a partial preliminary injunction against the Trump administration’s executive order barring trans people from changing the gender markers on their passports." www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/04/judg...

Judge grants "critical victory" to trans people suing Trump for his anti-trans passport policy - LGBTQ Nation

"I can't afford to buy an indie #ttrpg, so I can't play them!" This is your reminder that almost every single indie designer i know will just send you a copy if you email them and say "hey, I can't afford your game right now but i want to check it out!"

Twitter, Meta, and Tiktok are all state media now. They will suppress and censor narratives, beliefs, and views opposed by the administration. Act accordingly. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Instagram hides search results for 'Democrats'

Trump is currently attending a National Prayer Service at the Washington National Cathedral presided by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. I interviewed Bishop Budde, she told me, "Trump seeks to dismantle everything I stand for.” Then I learned of the unlikely Trump resistance within the cathedral.

My latest, a tough and important article to write. @rollingstone.com On Carter's death and the Trump resistance. “Racist, sexist, misogynistic, transphobic ideology. It’s violent, and we have to name the violence. We have to stop the violence. That’s our task.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A reminder that the trying *does* mean something. No matter how hopeless it might seem. No matter if you can't see past next week in the future. No matter if it seems like you already lost. You haven't. You haven't lost, no matter what happens, because the *trying* means something.

Today is an especially good day to celebrate, honor, and learn from Dr. Martin Luther Jr. King

We're still working on the space necromancy game but get hyped for (at least) two upcoming special one-shots over on LFTA next week: Monster of the Week: The Last Broadcast on Tuesday and Raefenheim on Friday, each featuring a bunch of familiar faces!

I feel like most authors don't rly want Stephen King levels of stardom, where we can't grab a meal w/o people crying at the table. Most of us just want to support our families, afford health care, have 30 people show up to a book signing, and write books that mean something to those who need them.

I've escaped containment.
