this “chicago bail fund” and the entire network of newly registered bail funds are all scams. illinois made cash bail illegal in 2023 thanks to the incredibly hard work of many people, some of whom i know personally, so this is especially stupid
Eileen Clancy 🧿@clancyny.bsky.social · 6mo ago@forensicgarlic.bsky.social [@]chicagobailfund.bsky.social registered on Bluesky 20 days ago. As did these "bail funds" for Boston, Seattle, and Portland. Do you know if they are authentic? idk the other followers. But could be sus also.
The best book in the entire series—and I wrote one. Paul brings the noir and pulls no punches

Garth@pauljgarth.bsky.social · 7mo agoMy short noir novel, THE LOW WHITE PLAIN, in which in-love grifters hatch a fake kidnapping plot that gets out of hand during a once in a lifetime winter storm that ends up with a lot of occultist neo-Nazis and their political benefactors dying very badly is back in print today. a.co/d/iaGzMvc

Roan@rmbloom.bsky.social · 9mo agoHey everyone. Sorry to be asking with things the way they are , but the power steering pump is almost dead on our car and it’s going to cost around $1000 to fix. It’s an older Mazda and it’s tucked into the most awkward place ever! And it’s original to the car. IYKYK. WD-40 going to make a fortune.
To the shock of no one, folks trying to defend AI “art” are unimaginative AF.
To be chosen by Steph Cha and Don Winslow and to be among some of my favourite people and writers is an overwhelming honor. Huge thanks to Starlite Pulp for its first home. Please get yourself a copy, if not for my dirty little spite story, than for one of the other 19 amazing ones.

No matter what Christopher Cross says, if you get caught between the moon and New York City, falling in love is NOT the best you can do. You are in serious "Sandra Bullock in GRAVITY" jeopardy, and quick thinking and survival skills are in order. Priorities, people.

I've been talking to a lot of people the last few days, and, in case there's any doubt, I want to be clear: What Down and Out Books is doing is goddamn shameful, and staining an otherwise really incredible legacy.
Beau Johnson 🇨🇦 🪓@beaujohnson44.bsky.social · 10mo agoQuestion: if your publisher sends out an email stating no more payments will be issued to their authors, do you think they’ve already spent the money they owe them or they’re just keeping it for themselves? Yes, this is about Down and Out Books.
