In the recent migrations of people.. I’ve been kind of hoping that more of the Canadian poets I knew on the bird 🐦 site would have made it here. Also - follow more poets - they make this place sparkle 💖 ✨

Gonna ask again, in hopes that somebody new who knows something will see it. I am looking for a paying (pro or near-pro rates) market that accepts horror novelettes of 17-18K words.

Been meaning to post this ever since I saw it at the dentist last week. No bi erasure for Mercedes Benz!

If you want some hope and a dose of excellent queer history, I recommend the newest season of the podcast Slow Burn, Gays Against Briggs. It tells the story of how queer activists successfully fought an initiative to ban gay teachers in California, and it has lots of great interviews

Pharmacy still does not have one of my my migraine rescue meds. I know Hurricane Beryl slowed deliveries, but two weeks is a long time to go on hope and only half of the rescue combo I need if I get hit.

Northern Nights, the all-Canadian anthology of dark and strange fiction, is now up for pre-order. (Oct.1.) Behold the amazing ToC. It'd be a "prime" day to pre-order from your fave indie. Thank you! undertowpublications.com/shop/norther...

The message of this spot for the Paralympic Games is that people don’t always appreciate Paralympians for what they are: world-class athletes subject to the same brutal forces of nature as all athletes.🥇 It shows them competing against Friction, Gravity and Time while fans make off-key comments.
The film is set against a dark backdrop, which gives it a claustrophobic feel. Gravity, for example, is portrayed as a shirtless, cackling man clutching a pint, while friction is depicted as a boy racer performing doughnuts in a car. British Paralympians star in the film. Very compelling messaging.
‘Considering What?’ asks Channel 4’s new Paralympic Games spotwww.thedrum.com Viewers are asked to challenge preconceptions they might hold by the team that created Meet the Superhumans.

Ammonite is a spectacular book!
Despite many sad (worried, angry, wistful—and, yes, even one or two gleeful 🙄) comments to the contrary, AMMONITE IS NOT OUT OF PRINT. It's available wherever books are sold. Want more specifics (and a look at its covers through time)? Here you go. nicolagriffith.com/2024/07/16/a...

If you take him to the vet perhaps the vet will know of a foster home or forever home for him? I have no moral quandaries about taking abused and neglected pets away from their owners, but YMMV and I respect that.

dysautonomia folks! it is really freakin hot in the northern hemisphere and many of us start getting wobbly if it's too warm, even if it doesn't *feel* warm. so check-in: feeling a bit grumbly? vaguely uncomfortable? have you salted recently? got an ice pop or cooling towel to apply? #NEISvoid 🌻
