Thank you to everyone who has bought Skin Thief or Countess, or requested either at the library or written a review about them. You are keeping me writing. Literally. As a new long form writer every single sale matters. I want to write more books for you! I'm writing another right now! 🖤🙏

This poor child, this poor mom. This is just evil.
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

The reality for speculative fiction zines and publishers is pretty damn terrible right now. I know many of us are struggling to keep it together, and they are too.

Read this, mourn what we lost, and, as much as you can, support the zines and publishers you love.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

NEW ESSAY for Trans Awareness Week! hopefully it will make ppl aware about how bad actors manipulate transgender statistics & that "social contagion/ROGD" are disproven:
on Medium (friend link): juliaserano.medium.com/lies-damned-...
& Substack (no paywall): juliaserano.substack.com/p/lies-damne...
Lies, Damned Lies, and Transgender Statistics
plus over a dozen studies contradicting the “social contagion/rapid onset gender dysphoria” hypothesis

I would like everyone who's been pearl-clutching about the hopeless and terminal descent into fascism in my replies to take a moment, look around, and think twice before telling me these guys are unstoppable.

Just all kinds of wild shit with this one. His group physically assaulted a friend of mine when they got too close to them. Also they had military searchlights that made it hard to see on residential blocks nearby
A few years ago, we asked @eamonwhalen.bsky.social to look into an odd story: A mall in Minneapolis hired a group led by a former military contractor in Iraq to crack down on a memorial garden.

Today, we’re publishing the wild story that Eamon dug up.

They've printed the dismembered corpse of Strawberry on the current promotional product for this year's Pop-Tart Bowl. There are even hands reaching in, actively eviscerating the mascot.

We are so far down the rabbit hole and this event has only been around for two years.

OMG
BREAKING: We’re getting six (!) edible mascots at this year’s @poptartsbowl.com!

- six edible mascots, three on Team Sprinkles and three on Team Swirls

- fans get to vote on which mascot team to sacrifice to Mouth Heaven at game’s end, the biggest edible mascot sacrifice EVER
