There is something about a micro that I find so haunting. Maybe it's because as readers, we're invited into the story in such an intimate way. Each reading excavates more of the story. I love this horror micro by @matthollingsworth.com in Sudden Flash. yoursuddenflash.blogspot.com/2026/04/a-le...

An action you can take against Dear Leader's disturbing rant about banning mail-in voting and "nationalizing elections" is to call your state's Attorney General and tell them hard no to collaborating with federal criminals, as per Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the Constitution.
If you want to support communities terrorized by ICE and DHS while getting query feedback or manuscript critiques, this is the auction for you.
Need a manuscript critique? This literary auction is raising money to support Minnesotans.
In further news of book people showing up for each other, and for the rest of us, a dedicated group of publishing and culture workers has organized an auction to raise funds in support of communiti…

We had eradicated this disease. And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.
I Scream Ridge@eileen4ever.bsky.social · 9mo agoHoly moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE
This statement is worth 5000 prayers and sermons combined. Thank you, Chaplain Moberg. ❤️🔥

John Picacio@johnpicacio.bsky.social · 9mo agoRemember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com
Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 9mo agoLet us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.
ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Absolute bullshit, and authors, if Harlequin has your foreign rights, you should also complain.
Apolline Dsc@apolline.bsky.social · 10mo agoFrench publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations. All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin
Every time a health insurance claim is denied or a premium is increased, a billionaire CEO gets richer. They don’t have to worry about medical care. They get the best care money can buy while denying that right to everyone else. Universal healthcare now.
Alice Wong fought tirelessly against institutionalizing disabled people. She understood that we deserve autonomy over our care. That healthcare is a basic human right and people should receive the support they need to remain in their homes & communities. Fight for universal healthcare now!
May my friend @sfdirewolf.bsky.social rest in power. I will especially miss texting with her about Star Trek. We were lucky, all of us, to have Alice and her warmth and enthusiasm. www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...
