Going to the ER tonight to try and get admitted because my insurance won't let me see anyone that will do anything to keep my eyesight. I have uncontrolled glaucoma and am in immediate need of care for both that and a corneal transplant. My insurance won't cover anything but that

In the latest Reading the Weird, @R_Emrys and @AnneMPillsworth continue digging through Stephen King’s Pet Sematary!
We’ve reached Chapter 22, in which the Creed family cat dies, and Louis Creed makes a fateful cursed-cemetery-based decision.

"Metaphors & memories are folded into the body—maybe deliberately, maybe out of necessity."
@reactormag's review of RIVERS is like a rabbit-hole, spinning new stories in fine webs between the poems. I'm enchanted by @AnneMPillsworth's magical bus & @R_Emrys' sculpture garden! 💚
In honor of Poetry Month, Reading the Weird does a deep dive into the collection Rivers in Your Skin, Sirens in Your Hair, a horror-soaked exploration of folklore

@R_Emrys & @AnneMPillsworth wrote the most amazing analysis of my weird swamp story, including an insightful examination of the 2nd person narration and secret cryptid [spoilers], and I'm only just seeing it?

Never in my life would I have dreamed that such thorough, thoughtful analysis would be applied to something I've written. It's crazy. Thank you @R_Emrys @AnneMPillsworth

in honor of MARVELS AND PRODIGIES going live, i thought i'd do a thread on some of my favorite modern mythos stories--stuff that goes to the lovecraft well and comes back not with another spooky tentacle but shit that's genuinely weird and wild and new

Awards Eligibility post:
I only had one short story published, but it was in @strangehorizons - "Up In the Hills, She Dreams of Her Daughter Deep In the Ground" (link to follow)
I'm humbled by all the responses to this one, and absurdly grateful Strange Horizons gave it a home

I wrote for Scalzi's The Big Idea, so you might already know what's going on. My book is a love letter. My heart breaks we have to leave. If you have energy and resources and would like to help, our friend started a gofundme.

My next book is *The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.* It's a recipe to disenshittify the web and bring back the old good internet. The book is from @VersoBoooks, but the #audiobook is from me - because Amazon refuses to sell it:

You know, one of the things that doesn’t get communicated well at all is how much carbon emissions have dropped. Even as plugged in as I am, I somehow thought the US was putting out more carbon then ever. But no! We’re back down to 70s levels, and per capita is like 1940s!
