Biden pardoned his son!

I don't care.

What I care about is his administration doing nothing meaningful about climate change and enabling the genocide in Gaza. Thousands of people are dying right now, and billions more will die in the future, and I should be upset about one guy going free.

Cause and effect is the heart of storytelling, but I've tried to resist this because part of horror is its unreasonableness: the killer that picks victims at random, the demon that possesses the innocent, the supernatural event or monster that is never explained. But randomness is not a story.
Big plan today: expanding the description in my horror novel, The Queen in Yellow, and landscape drawing practice using Procreate.

Haymarket has made ten of its books--an #antifascist library--free* this week.

And any other ebook is just 2 dollars until Nov 15th!

Get amongst it.

*in exchange for creating an account with an email address.

I've read Freedom is a Constant Struggle and it's so good it should be part of the high school curriculum, in my opinion.

Ten Free Ebooks for Getting Free

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis At Haymarket, we believe that books are crucial tools in struggles against racism, imperialism, and capitalism—and for a better world. That’s why we’ve decided to make TEN key ebooks free to download: join us in reading these indispensable works of analysis, history, and strategy.

I'm going to say it because I need to hear it: Your art still matters. Write, paint, draw, design, sing, code, whatever, just keep making the world a better place. We need it now more than ever.
It's so hard to be creative and make art against a backdrop of despair.
But that's when people need art the most to give them hope again.

I've seen some posts about laying low and blending in, and /s or not, FUCK that!

If I'm being ushered into a fascist dictatorship, I'm swinging at Nazis until I get put down. I have a queer kid, a lovely trans girlfriend, and a shitload of friends worth fighting for.

Be loud, be visible, be ungovernable.

My big plans for Halloween are to listen to Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite and drink some alcohol. #horror
