Well thereβs sure a lot of shit going on in the world now. But at JUST the 1 store I was signing at for this event (Once Upon a Crime) we raised an unofficial estimate of ~$5K+ for the Immigrant Law Center of MN & the Womenβs Foundation of MN Immigrant Rapid Response Fund.
Love you, Minnesota. β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Obsession with proper procedure rather than morality is the rot in the heart of liberalism. They donβt care about deportations or bombing schools as long as the protocol is followed. They are incapable of resisting fascism because their objections are about the decorum.

#bookmail Thanks to Pascale Potvin for sending me a copy of her fantastic horror collection Demondust (which I blurbed). The last story in this collection is genuinely one of the most upsetting/unsettling pieces Iβve read in years (complimentary).
Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like todayβs stream could be a big one, as some of you mightβve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so weβre gonna get right into it

This is so cool
My favorite bit of graffiti ever.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"
Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.
If the people we are killing get mad and kill us then I would say we have it coming
The only midterm message I want to hear from Democrats is aggressive prosecution of the crimes of the Trump administration and an immediate end to all military aid to Israel.

Why I Love Horror & Old Soul
#recentlypurchased Stopped in @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social the other night & did a little shopping.
Why I Love Horror ed. by @raforall.bsky.social including a few of my fellow Stoker nominees in the short non-fiction category.
Old Soul by Susan Barker, a book Iβve heard a lot of good things about
The Train 4K
#recentlywatched THE TRAIN. John Frankenheimer-directed World War 2 film in which Burt Lancaster plays the most not French at all Frenchman of all time. But the standout has to be Paul Scofield as the art-loving, yet heartless Nazi villain. Up there w/ Christoph Waltzβs Landa.
Thanks, Emily!
