Authors watch out for Agent scams. Thanks to @cultauthor.bsky.social I managed to dodge this one. Still left me feeling a bit blue though. writerbeware.blog/2026/03/27/w...

I’ve recently gotten a slew of reports of emails purporting to be from editors at Big 5 and other large publishers, in which the supposed editor expresses interest in the writer’s work and asks whethe...

PseudoPod 1039: The Song of the Living
When the trees start to smell sharp and crisp, I know The Dead Things are coming. That warning scent perfumes the air now. The fading summer gale bellows over a field of rolling wheat.

Listen, I could still stretch half you pups if I felt like it. Sit down and learn something about the business. Did I ever tell you about the Red Ripper? I got a special reason for telling about him…

I am conflicted about Argentina vs England. I have friends on both sides. Sigh.
After seeing some other peoples’ picture of their copy of @hookland.bsky.social Fragments and then looking at my first picture, I realized I need to step it up a.co/d/04VzxUWG
Count Binface sells merch from his website and donates 50% of the proceeds to Shelter. (How much does Farage donate to charity, again?)

Dina had never seen her dad cry until the day he left. His face was puffy and wet with tears when he leaned down to kiss her cheek. “I’ll see you soon, okay, Button?” Dina stared at the scarred wood…

Yes, they let me host again. What were they thinking? Please listen and enjoy.

Hot Owlets
Ian Denton@iand777.bsky.social · last mo.The owlets surprise me with their ability to withstand the heat. They sat out in the heatwave in June even though the Oaks are just a few wing flaps away. While they pant often, they don't appear distressed & closely observe butterflies. Apols for quality. #LittleOwls @emilyjoachim.bsky.social 🦉
The most important thing you need to know is that, by my watch, the fireworks began after midnight There were no fireworks in Washington DC for our 250th Independence Day

Gray sheets of rain as the door bangs in, Willard and his men materializing in that opaque haze and shaking the wet from their long coats. They assess the room with eyes accustomed to staring.

PseudoPod 1035: Interstate Mohinis
In the way of Death runs the Vaitara?? river. We are flayed open to its woe. We are always aware of its currents in gurgling lungfuls of unease. Time spun in recursive loops since I died in a scream…

Today is full of magics. You don’t need to read about others experiences, you don’t need to capture your own to share. Today, just bathe in it all. Harvest your own omens, revel in whatever blessings the day offers. Refuse to be part of the mediated spectacle. Find your own primal wonder. #Solstice
I never knew my father. He and my mom divorced when I was a baby and never really had contact with him or his family. I only really think about when I’m filling out medical forms and get to the family history. Wondering what lovely little time bombs my genetics have in store.
