If you want to read 2,500 words on Bella Baxter, feminism, socialism, monsters in media, and how Bella’s kindness is more transgressive than her sexuality (and who doesn’t want to read that?) you can find my new essay here: open.substack.com/pub/phraseda...

Sick of Twitter so giving this place another go, and what better comeback than sharing my story published in @publishedbyjake.bsky.social on Monday? Big love to JAKE and, of course, to Steve-O jakethemag.com/a-portrait-o...
A Portrait of Steve-O's Steve-O Tattoo as the Picture of Dorian Gray

Question for Substack users: if I have a pretty niche substack (monsters and folklore) and also want to start one for publication updates/reviews, is it better to have them under one general substack with multiple sections or have two entirely separate substacks?

It was so much fun to guest edit for @publishedbyjake.bsky.social! Their guest editor application is now open
We've got some big things to announce soon, but I'll just tease it a little now by mentioning that JAKE is open for guest editorial runs once again for this December! Link is now live here:
