Besides JKR is evil & she's admitted it's her mission to keep making money to be evil with, I want to hit on a point that critics seem to have lost. Sean touches on it a little. NOT EVERYTHING HAS THE RIGHT TO EXIST. Just because something is made doesn't mean you have to accept its terms.

The push for Harry Potter the TV show is going to be completely enormous—they're debuting it on fucking Christmas—and it is the responsibility of TV critics to contextualize this as rewarding the world's most transphobic billionaire (which is saying something) in everything we write about it.

Are you a book publicist, agent, bookseller, or in the publishing field in general? Do you have strong feelings about how the algorithm is pushing certain content and what that could be doing to how people discover books? Would you wanna talk to me for a piece I'm doing? My DMs are open.

Since I was laid off, I've been drawing more

We will never get a fat Carrie, I know this in my heart, but it won't stop me from hating it every time it doesn't happen.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

In progress. Always haunting the narrative. ##Claudia ##TheVampireLestat #tvl #Lestat

Breaking: Actor Sam Neill dies aged 78

New Zealand actor Sam Neill, who starred in My Brilliant Career and Jurassic Park, has died aged 78.

I think Graham's death is actually an example of how capitulation and selling your soul for people that wouldn't have you anyway means nothing in the long run anyway.

Spare a thought for the homophobic liberals

Re-upping the sad news that I was laid off yesterday. If you have any editorial, writing, teaching, communications or marketing connections, please hit me up.

Reupping for the night crowd

I will share more later but I was laid off today. Of course, I am devastated and scared out of my mind. Friends and editors if you have any connections for work, even temporary, contract, or part-time, please hook me up.

continue to think that planter’s support with the lib/left male pundit class was not *in spite of* his various transgressions, but because of them, a frankly pathetic attempt to reassert dem masculinity through a man whose violent career they believed represented working class authenticity

Julia Carrie Wong@joolia.bsky.social · 2mo ago

is it possible that platner’s appeal is driven in large part by his audience’s libidinal investment in seeing a cheeky (derogatory) boy get away with things

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

My latest: I don’t respect America at 250. The only thing I can think of is how America is still a young, spoiled brat of a nation that no one is able to discipline. Foreign writers have been commenting on the US's developmental problems for centuries. karenattiah.substack.com/p/america-ne...

America Needs to Grow the Fuck Up

Once you understand the moral psychology of America's immaturity, everything about America's 250th birthday makes sense.

Watching videos of real oystermen talking about Graham Platner makes me think that maybe, just maybe, the Pod Save Bros and their ilk shouldn't be anointing who has genuine working class bona fides.

Bro what are you doing? SCOTUS was only 1 vote short of usurping the clear and unambiguous language of the document by judicial diktat Taking a victory lap for that is grim

Despite Trump’s best efforts to bully them, the Supreme Court just reaffirmed that if you are born in America, you belong in America.

It's coming. CHIMERA, my horror novel about two rotten crime families of shapeshifters teetering on the brink of civil war, hits shelves this February.

I read this essay about The Omen, Roe v. Wade, and what constitutes true horror, and I can't stop thinking about it.

Diabolical Motherhood | Defector

On June 25, 1976, three and a half years after Roe v. Wade made abortion legal in the U.S., The Omen hit theaters. Most viewers remember the high-drama deaths—by impalement, decapitation, hanging—or t...

I'm so fucking tired of hearing that trans kids need to eat shit. That we need to let lawless bygones be bygones. That data centers get all our water and we just need to adjust to the future. That the Supreme Court is static and we just need to sit there and not have rights.

Ya girl swam in the Bay and wore a bathing suit on the beach and if that ain't a fat girl healing ritual I dunno what is.

Does anyone have any recommendations for woman centered werewolf tales? Bonus points for queer and Sapphic. I tried to read Such Sharp Teeth and it wasn't for me.

If we get to see Louie murder the fuck out of Bruce next week I will be so very happy. #TheVampireLestat
