A novel called KARENS, a grownup version of HEATHERS where the Karens terrorize their neighbors via the local HOA until a new family moves to town and the murders begin. This idea would have been so funny had I had it in 2021 instead of right now

gives lie to the whole “but no one knew they were like that back then” (also would be nice to see someone bring her book back out)
1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

I have a new flash piece out in swamp pink! Written on my phone during a particularly gnarly prenatal testing appointment—read for feral cats, haunted houses, and the cursed chaos of newborn babies 🏠😱

“It’s weird, isn’t it?” she says. “Squaring who you are with who you might have been…”

Great evocation of character and yearning in this fab piece from @h0lc0mb.bsky.social; so much movement from beginning to end

Hurray for a new issue from @vestalreview.bsky.social! I have a brief interview with @lifeandmars.bsky.social in this one ♥️🌈🐺
Issue 66 of Vestal Review comes out just after the summer solstice, when the days start growing shorter, though as any flash fiction aficionado knows, brevity isn’t always a bad thing.

Read now at vestalreview.net/issue-66.

If you get a chance, check out this beautiful review of @h0lc0mb.bsky.social's WOLFBABY by @ginathayer.bsky.social.

"After reading, we emerge from the tunnel where we, too, have looked at things unseen. We lick our teeth and sniff the air. We check for answers, for the presence of blood." 🐺 ❤️
