Today is the day the story There Will Come Soft Rain is set. An amazing and heartbreaking work of fiction for our modern age. Read it here:
a wooly man without a face@jojororo.bsky.social · yesterdayViolent Night was a stupid schlocky film that was CLEARLY just cashing in on the 'take something wholesome and make it gory' train that films like 'Screamboat' and 'Blood and Honey', and I loved it and cannot wait for the sequel.

Such a busy weekend (in a good way) that my countdown got messed up and I had to search "how many days until September 18th". Anyways, 46 days until #Heliruna!
Not surprising. Having attorneys present makes it harder for ICE to sex traffic kids.
Acacia Center for Justice@acaciajustice.org · 3d agoNow, 20,000+ unaccompanied kids across the country are at risk of going to court w/o their trusted attorneys present after Trump allowed a congressionally mandated program providing legal services for unaccompanied kids to expire on Friday. https://bit.ly/45A6Ljf
It will be tragic to hear of Mitch McConnell's sudden and unexpected passing tomorrow night at 12:01 AM local time right after the deadline passes for Thomas Massie to run for his empty seat. Very tragic to lose America's first undead senator. #UndeadNotUnperson
This one is for @wearewatcher.bsky.social. Since I've had the Quizzard Pit theme song stuck in my head for two weeks, this is in my living room now.
I'm a big supporter of being direct with your words. For example, instead of saying "Epstein didn't kill himself", try saying "Donald Trump killed Jeffrey Epstein or had him killed so he couldn't implicate him as part of a plea deal."
Happy Colorado Day! Colorado turns 150 years old today. Also 48 days until #Heliruna
One of the groundbreaking parts of Minnesota’s new law is that it opens the door to lawsuits against the platforms (like X) that allow users to nudify images. For the most part, other regulations of online behavior have punished users, not platforms. This is one to watch.

They're about to try to rig the midterms and say that it was God who did it, not Elon Musk.
Truthout@truthout.org · 6d agoSpeaker Mike Johnson claims that Republicans will win the midterms, because God will intervene. “We have intercessory prayers” — groups of people who organize to pray in person for a particular cause — “who are on the grounds at the Capitol praying each of these things through,” Johnson said.

Wild that Rand Paul used to be a Never Trumper and now he's gargling his little orange nuts...
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 6d agoNew, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...
But can he grow a slutty little mustache is the real question

Imagine living your whole life in the closet hating people who managed to come out of said closet only to have the so-called President of the United States shit his pants at your funeral and then talk about how much he hated you.
I made a chart for those curious. I used more F bombs in "Last Exit To Midnight" than I did in "The Woods".
Done. I answered every question with "none of the above, I'm a real author".

The entire premise of #Heliruna is being haunted by your dead ex, so no, I wouldn't say it's a particularly happy reunion.
🌱 Charlie (Chelizabeth) Delta 🦊🪻@charliedeltawrites.bsky.social · 7d agoTell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Let's talk about reunions! Do your characters get any specific moments where they reunite with someone from their past? Or someone they lost touch with earlier in the story? Is it a happy reunion or less so? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Not me seeing #BB28 trending and immediately going "oh no what did that little orb-shaped shit do this time?"

I did a painting a while ago called "In Defense of Poison Ivy" where I tried to capture the vibrant autumnal coloring of poison ivy, finding beauty in a plant that's indisputably a noxious weed. I'm really tempted to say poison ivy is my favorite. #HorrorWritersChat
Artemis Quinn 🏳️⚧️🎨📚@vampireantihero.com · 7d agoThe sun feels warmer, your skin buzzing with new life. Do you have a favorite poisonous plant, #HorrorWritersChat ? Why? What draws you to it?
'The Woods' has woods in it, but it's more of a setting than anything. I also have a short story, 'Two Legs', which is about two kids getting lost in the forest, but again it's not about plants per se but what lives in them. I don't think I've written anything about poison (yet). #HorrorWritersChat
Artemis Quinn 🏳️⚧️🎨📚@vampireantihero.com · 7d agoThe garden is bright and vibrant with a wash of flowers. Oleander. Monkshood. Hydrangea and Mountain Laurel bushes. Small placquards stand beside each one. You realize as you read them, they're symptoms. QUESTION 2 - Have you ever written anything centering plants or poisons? #HorrorWritersChat
Oops, late again. Once again working on editing and lost track of time. Hi, I'm Hazel, I'm the author of "The Woods" and the upcoming novel #Heliruna, and (besides The Woods) my favorite plant horror media probably has to be Little Shop Of Horrors. It's a classic for a reason. #HorrorWritersChat
Artemis Quinn 🏳️⚧️🎨📚@vampireantihero.com · 7d agoHowdy, #HorrorWritersChat ! The leaves whisper secrets at the edge of a forest that melts into a garden. Its quiet murmurs guide you. You take a step. Q1 - Introduce yourself, the horror you write, and... share your favorite piece of horror media with plants, poisons, forest, or eco-horror.
