S/D/Y Jul 14 – A Tyranny of Desire be LeeAnn Perry – The Fabulist

Okay, look. I’m middle aged, there’s no denying it anymore, that’s what I am, I have to live with that. I do not need to be read to filth by the stories that I read. That’s …

Happy Pride to the city of Budapest.

RTÉ News@news.rte.ie · last mo.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in soaring temperatures in Hungary's capital to celebrate the 31st annual Budapest Pride, the first such LGBTQ+ march since former prime minister Viktor Orbán, who had sought to ban the event, was ousted in an April election

Those alt gov accounts that arose after 2016 are grifters. One of the top posts yesterday was @altnoaa.bsky.social posting an AI image of a beluga whale "escaping captivity to reunite with her baby." In response to being told it was AI, the poster said AI is good, actually, for evoking emotions.

As we wrap up production on Issue Three of The Fabulist Magazine, we advise our readers to re-acquaint themselves with "Harold and the Purple Crayon," by Crockett Johnson, and the classic Star Trek episode, "The City of the Edge of Forever," by Harlan Ellison. Nuff sed.

Reading Spring Flight by @kevlin.bsky.social was like eating the perfect piece of candy. So tiny! So sweet! Left me savoring the moment. Great short fiction @fabulistmag.bsky.social fabulistmagazine.com/spring-flight/

Preorders for FAILURE OF THE CENTURY: A PLAY REGARDING H.P. LOVECRAFT, by Nick Mamatas, @nmamatas.bsky.social , are now open!!

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

The Onion says it won’t wait for the courts, will launch Infowars to pay Sandy Hook families

The Onion’s staff is tired of waiting for the courts to settle its pending takeover of Alex Jones’ brand, so the new Infowars will launch next month.

I sold a short fiction collection to @mrjoshuawilson.bsky.social at @fabulistmag.bsky.social The Fabulist Editions! It's called THE PALADIN IN THE FOREST OF THORNS: ECOFICTIONS, and you can read more about it, and subscribe to hear even more as events warrant, here: mossyskull.com/writings/i-s...

We were the only UNIONIZED employees he’d ever had, too. I am broke as hell now, but I’ll never regret saying this: EAT SHIT, YOU PATHETIC TWERP. No matter how much cash you accrue, you’ll never know the joy of solidarity. Your life is empty, and you’ll be remembered as a warning to children.

For $300 billion, we could pay for child care for every child before TK *and* send every young person to college for free.

Do you enjoy going out to the theatre? Of course you don't! How about staying home and only reading the dialogue of a story, like some kind of Booktoker with half a million followers? Well, you're in luck! @fabulistmag.bsky.social is publishing my play THE FAILURE OF THE CENTURY! Pre-order now!

Got my contributor’s copy of the new @fabulistmag.bsky.social, which includes my story “The Angel Talks Of Beethoven’s Genius“ about a woman who sleeps with an angel. Looking forward to digging into the other weird shorts 👀

It really is a gaga-lunatic fantastical exploit heist polychromatic madhouse of a movie that delivers a whole damn world of political education along the way. Boots!

Annalee Newitz@annaleen.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Just saw "I Love Boosters." As usual @bootsriley.bsky.social managed to be twenty thousand times weirder than I expected. And the movie made me cry with joy at the end. Get your ass to the theater now and see this chaotic beautiful masterpiece.
