@fetterman.senate.gov you are a disgrace. PA voters trusted you over Dr Oz to protect us and you have continued to bow to republicans instead.

Check out some retellings of one of my favorite fairytales, also known as 'The Singing Bone', over on Reactor!

If you're in the mood for some dark flash fiction, I hope you'll consider my trans take on the tale, published this summer in Factor Four Magazine: factorfourmag.com/a-single-son...
You've probably heard some version of this tale of sibling rivalry, revenge, and singing bones–here are 6 retellings of a classic folk ballad known as "The Cruel Sister," "Twa Sisters," "The Wind and Rain," etc.

Coming online and seeing hope is making me realize how hopeless we’ve all become. We can push back. The country isn’t gone yet.

The unsaid part here is that if you don't feel this way about big brand names, you must be less human in your DNA.

But really it's just eugenics ravings and a need by execs to see the slop be used so they weren't wrong to adopt it. I'm sure this predatory crap is in their contracts at this point.
Nigel Newton, CEO of Bloomsbury, telling us why AI is good for publishing with this fun caveat: “We are programmed deep in our DNA to be comforted by the authority and the reliability of big brand names, & that applies more than ever to the names of big writers."

I am not nor have ever been a big Britney fan but growing up the same time as her, I have seen the way men in her life who were supposed to love her have repeatedly abused, controlled and humiliated her, so with my whole chest I feel compelled to shout into the void: Fuck Kevin Federline.

When i was a kid and my little brother would hit me and trash my toys, my mom would say "well you just need to figure out a way to get along." It was a bullshit solution, because one of us was doing active harm to person and property and the other one was...raising awareness of it.
This is that.
