HOPE, FOR ME, COMES FROM THE PAST’ BY ESSAYIST REBECCA SOLNIT ‘HOPE IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS,’ EMILY DICKINSON famously wrote, and that often leads to pictures of doves sitting quietly and looking sweet, but what if hope is an albatross that can soar for years without stopping, or an osprey that can haul a thrashing salmon out of rough waters? People tend to think hope is fluffy and frail, but it’s the force that has kept people going in the worst circumstances, the commitment to pursue the possibilities even when they seem remote. There are so many things hope is not: it is not optimism, which assumes that the future will be fine, and which requires nothing of us, any more than cynicism, despair, defeatism and doomerism do. It is not a prophesy of the future, since it arises in part from recognising that we make the future in the present and that it will be shaped by countless factors, visible and invisible, including our own participation. It is not an upbeat feeling or a feeling at all, since people in the worst circumstances have hoped that their efforts to free themselves might be met with success, that their bleakcondition might not be permanent or that their children might live to see a better time. second half of text with second post/photo
‘HOPE IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS,’ EMILY DICKINSON
famously wrote, and that often leads to pictures of doves sitting quietly and looking sweet, but what if hope is an albatross that can soar for years without stopping, or an osprey that can haul a thrashing salmon out of rough waters?
Too much theoretical/critical writing on horror (and, by extension, rightly or wrongly, on weird fiction) hinges on the _why_ of reception/response (“why do people read/write this stuff”), instead of the _how_ of poetics and formalism (“how is this stuff achieved/conveyed in the text”)
so i need to start being even queerer, louder. obviously.
Also, just to up the fear factor: more iambic pentameter. Because nothing screams “I’m being drawn inexorably into the gaping maw of an elder god” than the unceasing, plodding rhythm of human progress.
1. Earlier this year, Yale and CCMC capitulated to the Trump administration and ended care for trans youth.
Now, 10 families are suing them for violating state law.
Hospitals cannot be made to believe throwing trans people under the bus is risk free.

There exists small choices.

Moth:
The sun swallowed the sky. Again, for the fifth time. This morning.
Dirt:
And what about it?
Moth:
The sky used to hardly swallow anything.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Text on the right side of the image reads, "Welcome to Salon Sinister: A Queer Horror Lit Mag" ""The work featured in this issue is a look inside the minds of those directly affected by the fascist regime in the United States. The contributors in this issue are strong representatives of a population that not only faces daily persecution, but still finds ways to exist boldly and beautifully under threat." Below that reads, "Contributors: Abigail Waldron, al dsym, Amber S., A.V. Shurling, Bee Delores, Christine Makepeace, Ciaran Flake, E.L. Rey, Elizabeth R. McClellan, Ell Huang, Garrett Emerson, Genevieve Hugenbruch, Jay Zimmerman, Jaylan Salah, Molly M., Odin Meadows, Tera Freeman, Trevor Kassis." The right side of the image is the cover of the new free horror lit magazine "Salon sinister" which features a figure cloaked in black with a pale hand emerging within the folds that has pink painted nails. Instead of a face there are big, unnerving teeth seeming to break through the paper. The words "Salon Sinister" are written across the front of the figure in either lipstick or blood. Hard to say which...
The Salon is now open...
The first issue of our queer horror magazine is official live and ready for you to consume.

Hi, I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner and I endorse this message. People who make you feel bad about being open about your mental illness need to sit with their discomfort and not project it back onto you. Their stigma is not your problem. You are a bright shining star despite your struggles. 🫶🏻
Art isn’t “instinctive” you aren’t born with knowing how to draw. There’s nothing humiliating about putting in the work to learn a new craft.
My #poem "podunk, USA" is out now in the first issue of Outskirts Literary Journal, a journal of poetry and prose living in the periphery. www.outskirtslit.com/odin-meadows #poetry
In case you havent heard, there are 24/7 protests happening in major US cities such as Portland and LA. The protest in LA has been going nonstop for weeks.
MSM isn't reporting on it, and videos are being suppressed online.
Remember, the revolution will not be televised.

We need a radically, militantly kind agenda championed by people who aren't afraid to be radically, militantly kind.
And if that sounds gentle and cutesy, well. You are not understanding me when I say "militant"
Over 150 Jews and people of conscience are staging a sit-in at the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand in New York City to demand that the U.S. stop starving Gaza immediately.
A figure cloaked in black with a single pale hand coming through the folds. It has sassy pink nails. Where the face should be, there are giant, grotesque teeth seemingly breaking through the page. Across the middle in dropping, lipstick pink letters reads the name of the publication: SALON SINISTER
She's cute, she's sassy, she will *remove your face with a single thoughtful bite*.
@slimyswampghost.bsky.social truly outdid himself with this piece for our cover. A lot of love is going into this publication, and it shows. JUST LOOK AT HER!
Issue one is coming soon, but watch out. We bite 😘
Let's talk about weird art.
Weird art, gross art, sexual art, violent art, all has its place and belongs. And you really need to stop acting like the existence of uncomfortable themes equals harm. That kind of censorship, which IS what that is, only serves to silence and abuse people.
