love all of the ethereal body horror in this one alongside the chaos and nasty panic!

being mistaken for a butch is a masc badge of honor. constantly being called a femboy when you have zero overlap with femboys is just an evolved version of "idk you look like a woman lmao. wait, don't get mad"

if you're passionate about your art, it's hard to *not* take it personally sometimes! submitting is grueling. i think many of us need reminders that rejection is common & doesn't reflect poorly on us. (and thank you!!)

TOWER Magazine, Cosmic Horror Monthly, NIGHTMARE, Seize the Press, and God's Cruel Joke are the first few places that come to mind, at least for short fiction

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

The cover of Gore Poetics. The image looks like glistening intestines with two black pearls positioned in a line near the center. The reddish text flows with the dip and swell of the intestines.

Cursed Morsels writer @flameswallower.bsky.social calls Gore Poetics "Some of my absolute favorite horror and horror-tinged SFF short stories from the past five years or so!"

Me: oh no. . . the Stars are wrong

Ding-dong! The Dutch Fish Doorbell needs you to help migrating fish A Dutch lock is closed for the spring, and its employees want you to tell them when migrating fish come knocking by ringing a digital doorbell

Well, in more pleasant news, the Fish Doorbell is back... 🧪

A giant perch (fish) advertises the fish doorbell in the centre of Utrecht, Netherlands.

It's currently being advertised in the centre of Utrecht with a giant inflatable perch. Photo taken yesterday.

where to comment. click "Participate Now."

if the US government logs these trees at the rate / quantity they're proposing, we'll lose one of the last old-growth forests. there's no coming back from that. if you have five minutes to leave a comment pushing back against the BLM, please do; there's a guide to that below.

It's a huge pain in the ass to find the comment submission, and I didn't see a link provided in the article, so I'll post it here just in case. Click on the "Participate Now" green button near the top to leave a comment. eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home...

The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.
