Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.

David Kane@davidkane.bsky.social · 10mo agoI wrote an essay appreciating the works of @horrorsong.blog. I name drop @megapolisomancy.bsky.social, whose Weird scholarship has been a great boon 🖤 please enjoy!
Sporadically speaking Spanish around/to my husband then having to stop and tell him “do NOT say that to strangers” bc I was not raised right (The rule of thumb is: if he heard me say it, he cannot repeat any part that sounds like pinche, chinga(da), or verga, also say “manches” instead of “mames”)
Frankly I think almost every writer I know and beta read for and cheer on deserves a deep dive like this one David gave my work. What an absolute fucking beautiful gift.

Up now at @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social, I wrote about one of my favorite trilogies, Jeffrey Ford’s The Well-Built City, and what it has to say about living in a society in thrall, the fascist mindset, and the daily work of staying alive.

Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.
