Public Service Announcement: Writing, Guilt, and Other Obvious Things

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

I have to flip over to the Discover tab to see people I follow since they don't often show up in Following. Now I'm also getting artsy, sexy pics in that feed and I don't know what I did to make that happen. It's not bad, but I did find out while procrastinating at my library. Which was unfortunate

Filed a claim, been running around to different places and now im about to treat myself to some diner food then sell my plasma like a good capitalist. The kindness of these auto repair people is whats keeping me going.

Well a beer, half a trivia night, and witnessing a man gun 4 or 5 drinks before going on a first date helped the bad mood. Shout out to the woman i played trivia with who was splendid to talk to and invited me to her wedding if she ever has one. I cant wait.

This stuff happening in France is wild to see. I have to say I miss the college student protests on campus.

A student brass band plays Bella Ciao while others casually spray-paint ACAB on the Colonne de Juillet on the Place de la Bastille. Loving the feria vibe right now. Hope it stays that way. via @anthodepe.bsky.social

And this is how I learned that Danny Trejo has declared bankruptcy and Harvey Keitel might not know he's in a pro-N*zi propaganda film? I didn't see any cited sources but like are these two guys okay? Or are they just monstrous in their 80's?

Jesse Hawken@jessehawken.bsky.social · 5d ago

Danny Trejo and Harvey Keitel are hard at work on the new Daily Wire movie that dramatizes (positively) the murder of Renee Good, do with this what you will www.latimes.com/delos/story/...

Id read this immediately. I support this post.

Anyway my eventual writing craft book will be called Everything Is Terrible: How to Write Books And Get Published If You Happen to Have Had Several Concussions, Also Multiple Interacting Chronic Illnesses Because Bodies Are The Worst

The horrors are real but i did just buy six brand new poetry books for not too much money if you want to hit this up. Ends today.

Michael VanCalbergh@mvcpoet.bsky.social · 5d ago

Just a heads up that @alicejamesbooks.bsky.social is having a NICE flash sale today and tomorrow. Just got the email. Probably definitely ordering some flippin poetry books.

I'm not the person to do it, but there's a running trend of fatphobia in American poetry as well that needs noting. Specifically uses fatness and weight as metaphor for evil, disgust, dirty, unclean. I'd like to see less of this in all writing.

Emily C. Hughes@emilyhughes.bsky.social · 5d ago

it was important for me to call this out. King, though I love him, has been getting away with nakedly hateful fatphobia for half a century now and the majority of readers seem to have handwaved it, but I can't. (a shout out to @megelison.bsky.social, though, who's been banging this drum for years)

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

I liked this brief article about Battlestar Galactica and have so many opinions about this show after rewatching it recently. While I think these episodes are great they PALE in comparison to the Pegasus eps. Those episodes go hard and stay intense throughout. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...?

20 Years Ago, The Best Sci-Fi Show Of The Century Went Darker Than Ever Before

With its Season 3 debut, 'Battlestar Galactica' dropped one of its most hardcore episodes, ever.

I still have work to do but damn is it hard to motivate myself at night. Oof. Wish I was better prepared to do more work during the day.

I watched that Vanity Fair Fair Game episode with Jeremy O Harris and his critique of Vanity Fair feels very real and accurate after just seeing the cover page. It was a good interview all around too. www.vanityfair.com/podcast/fair...

The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K LeGuin A stunning book.

If you see this, recommend a short book.

It’s genuinely remarkable how complete the consensus around anti-Black racism as an unremarkable feature of public and political life has become.

Wow. Like. You didnt need to call me out like that. Esp when i got a poetry acceptance 10 min ago and said, "eh i dont think its a good poem"

Morning, theydies and gentlefolk! Today's the day! We'll see you in a couple of hours.

Okay what I really want is the Chicago Pope eating a hot dog or italian beef, giving an interview that says fuck a lot, uses the "eehhhh", and ends with him saying go Sox while wiping his face with a tissue thin napkin so his face opens like the Scream painting. Then i might go back to church.

Listen if the Chicago Pope is going to start supporting artists, I'm in. Now keep going and support trans rights. We might have a Catholic church on the right side of history. That'd be legit.
