💎The Glass Delusion 💎 by @kybettie.bsky.social
When a famous actress falls ill, Winnie starts to exhibit similar symptoms. Are the symptoms real, or has she fallen under the same delusion?

I got annoyed enough about this that I decided to write an article.
now introducing the WRITERS of #BloodAndBrocade ! yes ! this project will feature BOTH illustrations and pieces of writing, both fiction and nonfiction, centered around the theme of vampiric fashion. can't wait to see what they cook up! ✍️🧵

What do you call it when a woman writes something subversive and dark which unsettles the status quo and makes cis men uncomfortable…? Oh dw it's just the girlypops being weird again.
Controversial take maybe but “Weird Girl Lit” to me feels like one of those terms that starts out well-intentioned but rapidly veers into belittling territory.
if every single service and transaction is monitored for its adherence to fundamentalist christian ethics, and every piece of media has to go through those services or transactions, you could very quickly find yourself in a world where no queer art or publication is possible to obtain or distribute

Would love to join in! 🖤
Another YA horror that might dovetail nicely is House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland!
I've got that one on my TBR! 🖤
Writing a novel was the most frustrating, bleak experience but I did it. So I'm writing a novella, which I'd done previously to the novel, and now I can say: oh this? I can do that.
The struggle is important. It builds the muscle.
In art you must struggle (I don't mean financially) to improve.
Talking to people who still determinedly support AI despite all of this makes me feel like Cassandra.
Good luck! 🖤
Much needed today. Please tell her she's very good.
Nice meeting you!!
I look forward to reading your collection. (And House of Leaves.)
Incredibly deserved 🖤
There's been some hay made in the press about the sheer volume of horror films this year, but when was the last time there were this many must see original films worth going out to a theater for? This an incredible year for horror and film in general. So proud to get to run with this pack of films!
Gotta be a few more horror lovers out there who want to read a new John Darnielle and a new Grady Hendrix and a new Alison Rumfitt, right? Who also love lore and weird shit?
Days like today can make it hard to write. I find that when the world wants me to curl into a ball and doomscroll, pouring that sadness, that rage, that raw contempt, onto the page itself not only helps, but sharpens my words and sometimes even makes them better. Don’t be afraid to write angry.

Frantically editing my entry with an hour to go.
Forget Wrath Month, I'm gonna need Sloth Month after this.
Absolutely.
Excited screech!!
