Why is this @drewrausch.bsky.social artwork from 2023 suddenly trying to sign my child up for a Trump savings account?? 🧐

It's a hot thing we do

The 2018 series translated the color-coded chambers and windows of Prince Prospero's ballroom into a series of atmosphere sprays and hair glosses. This time around, the glosses (windows) will all be 5ml perfume oils. A scent for the skin, and a paired scent for the room you wish to lurk in!

We spent so much of this year infuriated by the antics of the billionaire class, we couldn't resist bringing back a fragrance series that fantasizes about them all blowing up with fatal lesions. Coming soon with our Halloween launch, 2018's The Masque of the Red Death rides again! 💀

Everyone who buys books and writes books deserves to know about the greed and cowardice of those we're entrusting with our IP and literary traditions

Which shows how little they've learned 👎

MeUndies has partnered with Harry Potter — another company choosing cash over self-avowed allyship.

@bpal.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 2:25 PM

Stuff like that shows how they are actively trying to stoke a culture war between the users and non-users, creating new classes of insiders and outsiders

@bpal.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 2:24 PM

That is preposterous! 😨

@bpal.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 2:20 PM

Either way, and without any sense of irony, those who were provoked by the message of our post ended up demonstrating the truth of it: whether personal or professional, AI use is cutting you off from other other people, in ways they may be too polite or shy to point out to you.

@bpal.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 2:16 PM

Of all the predictable responses, the saddest ones are from folks trying to turn this inside out, promoting the marketing lie that AI use is a path to higher status. Or those spreading the myth that it's a necessary evil which we must accept in order to remain competitive in a dystopian economy

@bpal.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 2:12 PM

It's no fun making people feel bad, considering that this tech has been deliberately offered in a way that preys on users' status anxieties related to creativity, career, intellect & identity. But we can't roll over and accept the loss of our collective humanity, even speaking up causes discomfort.

Posted a series of meme images on the Meta sites yesterday which really took off and definitely touched a nerve

Cannot say this enough: If a woman calls out rape culture, she's being "too sensitive" or a prude or she can't take a joke. If another guy looks you in the face and tells you that you're being a fucking freak, guys actually listen, which means giving your bud a pass is the worst thing you can do.

Tomorrow is National Dark Poetry Day which marks the day Edgar Allan Poe died and the day the HWA Poetry Showcase will be released. This year's edition, edited by Colleen Anderson, has a killer line-up.
