Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

During the first week of October, @spicycloaca.bsky.social and I are running an open sub call for the zine that will accompany their book Gore Poetics. 500 words max on the theme FLESH. Pay is 10 cents/word. Samir's book is weird, erotic, and often transgressive vibewise, so keep that in mind.

There’s a LOT going on right now, but the fact that there is a racist pedophile in the White House and so many people are cool with it is still fucking wild to me.

Oh my god you guys they have less than three days and still like a whole bunch to go. It’s going to be so sad if another press is forced to shut down. There are so many other things that are fucking with art right now can we please not keep losing places that give us good stories?
We won’t get any funds if we don’t reach our goal in the next 4 days. For the love of speculative fiction, horror stories, weird fiction, dark fantasy, magical realism, fantastique, slipstream, science fiction, alltopias, everypunk—back us so we can bring you more stories in 2026! kck.st/4mIkEm1

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
