My library stocks awesome horror; I read @wnwagner.bsky.social’s new eco-horror Girl in the Creek in a single sitting. It’s beautiful and creepy and captivating. Oh, the Strangeness!! Remember: the holidays are coming—put it on your lists! I hope it gets a movie option; it’ll be horror eye candy.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

Short story acceptance!! Arriving later this summer is a mythical meeting between a modern girl and long-forgotten creatures working together to resurrect magic in the ordinary world. Here’s to hope in darkened spaces.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Hey #Booksky if you’re in the US and looking to step away from the zon for physical books can I highly recommend Thrift Books?

They donate and partner with non-profits to support school libraries in underserved areas, and prison libraries. Plus, the book prices are *very good*
