“Civilization Stained These Young Things” is as

glitter bombs… then Civilization Stained These Young Things would hold the secret password to get in.” – Angela Yuriko Smith, Publisher of Space and Time

It's a short chapbook collection of poetry, short prose fiction,a nd short nonfiction, and it has AMAZING cover art by twice Bram Stoker Award-

Since I published my book back in August, I've had a bunch of folx ask how they can buy my book. Well, my life has been all a-tizzy ever since, so I am FINALLY letting you all know how to buy it!

“If literature had a secret underground club… the kind with fairy wings, blood rites, and metaphorical

Oof. Today's Tarot card draw. Any thoughts?🥺

I need to build up my October karaoke repertoire....
What are your favorite Samhain, Halloween, creepy, horror, morbid, ghostly, scary songs?

We have 5% of the world's population and 25% of its prison population. AND California, the state whose refusal of slavery sparked the Civil War, refused to finish the job of abolition last year

"Political violence has no place in the United States"

Qween, what? We spend more money than any other country in the world on political violence.

Our army gets now money than, what, the next 25 countries on the list combined (prolly more at this point), of which all but one to three are allies.

Has anyone else noticed a rise in algorithms pushing white supremacy? From facebooks relatively subtle inclusion of "pretty white blonde girls oppressed by people of color" stories to YouTube feeding me "why Wolfenstein is anti white" videos, I've definitely noticed an increase of fnords ...

URGENT: I'm in Seattle, and the poolhouse where my sweety and I are having our wedding reception needs to get cleaned out today of at all freaking possible. It's in South San Jose - can anyone help us out, please?

You know... The more hours I spend in Seattle (been here since Wednesday night) the more I understand why Shadowrun uses Seattle as its focus city....

Why does your favorite IP focus on the city it focuses on?

Does anybody know if there's already a mashup made out there of "California Dreaming" and "California Hotel"?

It's totally awesome when you show up the Friday of Con, already behind in sleep and exhausted, right? Anyway, weeeee, hi @baycon.org , I have arrived!!!

How long has sex work been around? How often do we see any of those statements about sex?

What about sports?

Poetry and the other arts (well, excluding ttrpgs, since they were the original question)?
