He's a once-in-a-generation voice who's seen it all & lived to tell the tale.
He transports us, bends our minds & makes us look over our shoulders.
His stories are live wires. Nobody scares, shocks, or stuns like he does.
It's @lairdbarron.bsky.social's birthday.
All hail the king πŸ‘‘

For the evening crowd - why not check out my new story up at Nightmare Magazine? It’s got monsters, civil servants, and dogs.

The first I read years ago. Got me hooked. Along with it, I think Choke is my favorite of Palahniuk's. Good reading either way!

Its Time For Mayor Mamdani To Live Up To His Campaign Promises On Transgender Youth With NYU Langone's shuttering of its transgender youth care program, New York City has significant tools in its toolbox to push back.

1. Mayor Mamdani promised to hold hospitals accountable that capitulate to Trump.

He promised funding to trans youth care in the city.

There are very real steps he can take right now to maintain care for trans youth after NYU Langone's capitulation.

It's time for Mamdani to uphold his promises.

I'm not suggesting I wear my SGJ hat everywhere, but it came to Universal. Not a good picture by any standard. Apologies.
