If you’re a publisher and choose AI over people to do any part of your business, you’ve forgotten the face of your father.

Some truly wonderful childrens book people lost their jobs here. But I guess PRH needs money for AI engineers. www.forbes.com/sites/rashis...

Stumbled upon this satirical song from the 60s called “Your Friendly Liberal Neighborhood KKK” on YouTube. Performing this song back in the 60s was brave bruh 😭 “And if you don’t like that then call the cops cuz chances are they’re us” 😭😭 youtu.be/J3TcUA5jE6o?...

Willful ignorance and rancid thoughtless contempt are not, no matter how far they may get you in US politics these days, the virtues some people around here seem to think they are.

Books I read in 2025 and enjoyed:

Speaking from experience, Nichole provides excellent feedback.

Book mail. Thank you, @midworldpress.bsky.social! I love writing by @theandydavidson.bsky.social, and highly recommend this novel if anyone wants to give it a try.

Happy birthday to @patrickbarb.bsky.social. Book mail this weekend kind of makes me feel like it is my birthday, though!

Recently finished Alan Baxter’s Sallow Bend. Really enjoyed it. Especially fun for Halloween, if you’re looking for something to fit the season.

Friends, I got permanently suspended from Twitter for being mean to rich people and the place is dying anyway. I'm trying hard to rebuild something here, because this place is cool. Please help spread the word that I'm around. I write dark books and I think you'll like them. www.alanbaxter.com.au

This looks fantastic!

COVER REVEAL! THE CREEPENING OF DOGWOOD HOUSE is a MG Southern Gothic based on the hoodoo hair burning, about a boy's adoption by a kind couple with an enormous house haunted by ghosts and something far more frightening. Artist: @gdbee.bsky.social who did year 1 @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social covers

Almost ready to shut 'er down at the other place. One more social group I enjoy reading posts from and occasionally interacting with needs to start migrating here. Then, I'll be all set.

I love social media. Just saw someone teaching Ramsey Campbell about the history of horror fiction.

We need more artists and fewer politicians.

I like Bluesky well enough so far. I’m getting genuine joy out of seeing folks connect with their Twitter mutuals. Only things is: not sure I’m going to be slaying it here like I was with all the crypto opportunities I’m leaving back there.

Hello, Bluesky! I guess I’m here from now on.
