If the Rightwing and some liberals successfully dismantle public libraries, they will not be replicated again in the U.S.

Hello! I have a YA horror-romance-speculative graphic novel coming out (Soulmates) via MacMillan in August! Link below. Can get you an early reader widget too if you'd like to check it out!

The Pit: A Story of Chicago August 25, 2006  Financial ambition, a tortured marriage, and an American city on the rise are brilliantly depicted in Frank Norris’ 1903 masterpiece. Curtis Jadwin is obsessed with speculating on the...

New generative AI statement for @hinterland.bsky.social's games, being added first to the Episode Five build launching at the end of March.

We had $18k in rent requests come in just today (so far).

We’re anticipating needs at our neighborhood school to be over $100k again this month, but this time donations are WAY down. We don’t have enough money to cover everyone.

Please help us keep our neighbors w/ young kids from being evicted!

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

We tend to think of successes as these big moments. They aren’t. Success is fighting through the inertia and putting in the work every day. Success is showing up. Celebrate that and you will be happier.

The next installment in our Revivals series received a starred review from Kirkus! Available for preorder!

It’s a classic feminist novel originally published in 1915, set in Iowa. Featuring an intro by Sarah Blackwood, and a cover by @downpourdw.bsky.social!

Seriously thankful for journalists who are risking their physical and mental health covering this timeline. Also thankful for non-journalist people who are trying to connect dots as well. Not a lot of good right now but seeing people searching for answers for justice is heartening.

Amazing!!!!

I got my first trade review for You’re Déäd To Me, Reed Walker & it's a glowing one from Kirkus!

It's such a pinch me moment to see reviews roll in & this book find its readers!

Intrigued: My bïø has the review, pre-ørder + Goodreads 🔗s

New blurb for my upcoming graphic novel Soulmates from the wonderful Sam Prentice-Jones, author of the Arcana Duology.

Made this exact call this week. 😬😬😬

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

7-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies Of Dehydration And Shock In U.S. Border Patrol Custody The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

What's your comfort horror movie? 🎬

'The Thing' (1982)

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Disregarding the lame AI in all these commercials, they are conceptually trash. No thoughtful concepts, nothing interesting. Just the lowest reach of celebrity dialogue trash. Visual slop as well as conceptual slop.

They are the literary edition of NFTs. Worthless financial instruments, masquerading as art, preying on the naive/gassed up.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

If only they knew of these wonderful places called libraries... Huff. Thank you for taking a stand!

ICE agent wearing skull mask that is usually associated with the neo Nazi atomwaffen group

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.

But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

Cover reveals! Coming next fall from @beltpublishing.bsky.social; design by @downpourdw.bsky.social, who does the designs for this series. Thanks to Bluesky for encouraging us to choose The Pit!
