Movie monster Babadook stands before a rainbow flag, hyping up PRIDE, because he's a queer icon.
Hey Boucheron attendees. You have until April 30 to nominate my story, “What Would Babadook Do?” for an Anthony Award.
Who is out here doubling down on making the monster in an indie Australian horror movie a queer icon? Me!
Yay!!!
Congratulations, dear Queer Crime Writer!

You know it's a DAY when you listen to "Revenge Party" from Mean Girl on repeat and keep muttering "entrails on the lawn" to comfort yourself.
If you get a chance to see @loriraderday.bsky.social on book tour, you should. She's a good time, and Wreck Your Heart is a damn fine book!
Recently learned that my spouse thought I was very "quirky" when we met; my nephew watched Amelie and was reminded of me, and my professor friend shared a photo of me dressed as a cat (taken last month, and no, not at Halloween) with her class. Y'all? Am I a Goddamn manic pixie dreambitch??
Happy book birthday to the terrific @emilyrosswrites.bsky.social whose SWALLOWTAIL comes out today! If you like twisty thrillers with murder and art and mythology and dance and Quincy, order a copy!

Last night at Harvard Square a random young woman approached me and asked I wanted to come to church. I texted about this encounter, and my spouse quickly replied, "Say yes to the crèche."
And this folks, is why I wed him.

When people ask how my summer is, it's usually...full of bunnies. From April to about October it's taking in and caring for injured, ill, or orphaned wild bunnies. It's fascinating, exhausting, spectacular, and (at times) lonely work.
The Queers have landed!

Queer authors are majorly underrepresented in crime fiction anthologies. Bywater Books created Crime Ink: Iconic, short crime stories featuring queer icons written by LGBTQIA+ authors (including me!) Preorder a copy. You know the family (motto: be queer, do crimes) KNOW what they are writing about.
governments should spend money, literally all their fucking money. on taking care of the people from whom they got the money. on building cool shit for the people from whom they got the money to use, like highways and public works. this is real easy
how can these people be so bad at this
This is me juggling. I make one, three-ball rotation, and shut down. Scream yes, and drop all the balls. I cannot continue.
