Alhamdulillah, Sit Haneen had her baby two days ago, a handsome baby boy. Mother and baby are healthy so far, but the situation in Gaza is as bad as it's ever been and she needs help to provide her baby with milk and diapers. Please contribute if you can.

The United States desperately needs to shake off the unnecessary and harmful effect of the majority treating only two parties as worth voting for.

I had never heard of this cult before two days ago, when it was mentioned in a random audiobook about physics and philosophy I happened to pick up, so either the algorithm is reading my audio library, or it’s the Baader-Meinhof Effect in, umm, effect.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

#QuestPit #A #H #M
The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

A poster, featuring an illustrated portrait of Aubeline de Sterraux from A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE. She is a white woman with brown hair tied in an intricate hairstyle. She wears a black dress with puffed sleeves and white earings. Aubeline is shown kneeling and praying, her head looking up. The top of the poster is colored, and the bottom part is black and white, the two part being separated by a red stain reminiscent of blood. The title of the book is in the center. Underneath is more text reading "A novel by Millie Abecassis," then a quote by April Yates reading "A gothic gem, rich with dread, desire, and a magic system as haunting as it is original." Under the quote are the names of several characters, listed as if they were actors: Aubeline de Sterraux, Vinnie Anneton, Damarisse de Sterraux, and "unhinged dudes." At the top are Cannes festival-style quotes reading "dangerous body-based magic" and "slow-burn sapphic romance."

I try to follow all authors back, but if the first book on your Amazon page is about how India and Isræl are saving the world from evil Moslems, miss me with that bullshit.

Honoured that @thefantasticother.bsky.social have published another short story of mine! Check out AT THE FEET OF GUARDIANS in their tenth issue with other brilliant contributors and a stunning cover 😍
AT THE FEET OF GUARDIANS by Madeehah Reza The Seven Guardians have always been there. They are etched into our country’s history, each one holding a legend of its own. Each one stands as one of our protectors at the borders of our vast country. They are as ancient as the Earth itself, we are told, looming over us as colossal towers of men. If you stood beneath one, we are told, you’d lose sight of its head
