A few dollars may not mean much to you or me, but to Sama'a and her family it can be the difference between life and death. Please give what you can.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Disability is not a burden. It is not an inconvenience. It is a different way of being. It is a philosophy. It is a lens, a crystal ball, a perspective that allows us to see more of the world. Those who believe our lives have no value have been misled; I hope they’re able to see the truth one day.

I like to think my purchases have contributed to the expansion of the horror section at my favourite local bookstore. 😁
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Valuable thread on teaching and empathizing with our students.
I have been reading all the "students these days" threads from various sides and I have an essay's worth of thoughts -- there's a lot of complexity and heterogeneity that is hard to communicate on social media. There are a couple of things I will say here though. 1/

Próximamente: "Apariciones", de Adam Pottle, un drama psicológico donde los monstruos son de carne y hueso, y donde los fantasmas son aquellos seres invisibles a los ojos de la sociedad.

Israel is bombing Gaza again. The so-called ceasefire has only made it harder to draw attention to ongoing violence, but Sama'a and her family need us now more than ever.

Working on a novel polish. Hoping this one will find a home, as the story’s a big swing. Disabled protagonist? Check. Dystopian setting inspired by ableist reality? Check. Sex, sex, and more sex? Check. Body horror? Check. Police character whose crimes are avenged a hundredfold? Check. 🤞🏻

It’s depressing that some writers write solely for the sake of climbing ladders and attaining influence, rather than sharing their voices and fostering community and helping others understand the world a little better.

The way some people will twist themselves into Rold Gold Pretzels trying to assert that Frankenstein is not a horror story. As though horror is a dirty genre that diminishes Mary Shelley’s brilliance.

No. Horror shines a brighter light on that brilliance by revealing the darkness in the story.

First draft of my play OUR MOST PRECIOUS DEMONS submitted. Deaf-centred possession horror. Will be read in public in Saskatoon in 2026.

Now to polish my dystopian body horror novel and send it to my agent.

It’s been a long time since I’ve submitted to a magazine, but I have a piece—really, a former novel chapter—that I think might work well as a novelette. I’ve never submitted to a horror mag before, so I’m researching the market, but if anyone has any recommendations, that’d be hugely helpful!
