Are they seriously going to make me use Apple Music? I’m so fucking tired, y’all…
Not a single counter protestor while I was there (could have been some after I left or ones I just didn’t see), which just goes to show that the people who support this are a very small, very cowardly minority. The people are speaking loud and clear. #FDT #NoKings #AshevilleNC
If you don’t want people to call you a nazi, maybe stop doing nazi shit, saying nazi shit, and generally following the playbook the nazis wrote.
Do you think our “republican” population realizes how fucking scary they sound to the rest of us? Do they look out at the terrified people around them with pride? Or will they wake up one day and realize the terror they have caused and hide in shame from the fact they were ever like this.
I miss living in a time where my biggest worry was acing some inconsequential test, not “where am I gonna hide when my own government comes for me.”

We’re officially living in one of those countries I was told to be afraid of in school.
"Matt moved behind him to peer at the screen. He saw for himself the webbed face of the infamous mask—porcelain painted black and crackled with age. They all knew the stories. Now, here she was, manifested like a demonic folk tale."

I hate this argument. We do not “have” to use the faulty technology that perpetually spits out garbage, falsehoods, and inferior slop just because it’s new. I’d even argue it is going away as the vast majority of people are already fed up with it. This bubble will pop hard soon.
"we have to use AI because it's not going away" is such a weak-ass justification. because like, no we don't. what are you talking about. do you rush out to try every incurable disease too

Full read-through of “Looney Lynda Darcey” is done! Just a few more changes and polishes and it’ll be good to go and I can start working on final formatting and release stuff. #booksky #authorsky #horrorbooks
Tomorrow is read-through day! I’ll be spending the day reading through the entirety of “Looney Lynda Darcey” top to bottom and making sure the manuscript is in tip top shape. Looking for any last minute changes or polishes that need to be made before calling it done. So excited! #booksky #authorsky
People are not “more sensitive” these days. They are “fed up, empowered, and no longer willing to suffer your bullying in silence.”

Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors.

They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.
Ooh! I think I’d pick the main character of my upcoming novel, “Influencer.” Peter is a guy desperate the make the world and life with his partner a better place, but goes ever so slightly mad with power to do so. Sans the suffering a terrible fate, I think being in his shoes would have its perks.

You write amazing characters, if you could be one of them for a day, who would you pick?

As a horror author I don’t know that my worlds are necessarily better…but they’re certainly not worse. #authorsky #booksky
It’s day 2 of Halloween (yes, it does last the whole month, thank you)! And I see you’re still looking for a new horror read. Check out “Patient No. 8” if you want to spend the month absolutely shaken!
