- Reposted by Rain Corbyn (They/Them)Ultimately you're not supposed to believe it. It not mattering is the point. The bolder the lie, the greater the impunity. The ultimate victory for evil is not convincing you, it's the truth being irrelevant.

I'm packing now but I have to register my car before I go and that's $500. Anything helps. 🫀 Venmo: probablyharmless PayPal: theohillwriter at gmail
- Stoked to be part of this lineup, and what a cool idea! Thanks Sam!

- Reposted by Rain Corbyn (They/Them)Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

- Reposted by Rain Corbyn (They/Them)Alright sickos n scuzzoids, how about this neon-soaked beauty? I'm spoiled once again by @tenebrouspress.bsky.social who always brings in the coolest artists. Arianna Bosa nailed the assignment. Perfectly pulpy. A proper fit for something that's a bit of Hammett & PKD, but 100% 10p & yours truly.
- Reposted by Rain Corbyn (They/Them)"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—" Reviews. Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.) Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

- Reposted by Rain Corbyn (They/Them)Leaving the job I've done for the last 15 years, and the company I built, because of this "AI" bollocks. It was past time So, if you fancy buying any of my books for Halloween - individually, or in the kind of industrial quantifies that might keep the wolf from the door - Now's the time!
- Why yes I do extensive research while writing my historical fiction (Looking up period correct words for pussy)
- Reposted by Rain Corbyn (They/Them)Rolled many small boulders up the hill for 2026 today, & I'm in awe at the variety. Feels like such a trope-y answer—like a metal guitarist saying "yeah it's both our heaviest & most melodic album yet"—but it's also true. Next year is bleak AF & Electric Neon. Who's in for next year's book club? 🖤☠️
