LARPing is alot healthier and more strenuous of an activity than alot of the things you all ridicule by comparing it to LARPing

WAIL TALE would make great knuckle tats

Fighting is so random and spastic. Too fast in some places and dragging in others. There is rarely a good narrative to a fight, and a fight has never been beautiful. open.substack.com/pub/allanyth...

Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

Dreamed I bought a two-player ttrpg Sonic the Heghog game. The characters were pre-made and the game was GM-less, you just ran it out of the booklet. It was very fun!

“[People in the plastics industry] are very happy for us to look at ourselves and at each other, and not look at them,” says @bethgardiner.bsky.social, author of "Plastic Inc: Big Oil, Big Money and the Plan to Trash our Future."

Asking “are you mad at me?” when the venue doesn’t give you a drink ticket

This eulogy is so keen, and heartbreaking. I’m scared for us, y’all. It’s not just the Washington Post (or even just books coverage); across the board, incisive and productive coverage of the arts is being erased.

"Aphrodite puts glitter under her eyes and imagines she’s with Nathan. Aphrodite bought Sydney Sweeney’s bathwater online. Aphrodite wants to be Sydney Sweeney." New 🔥 story by @pamavoledo.bsky.social up today at Pool Party!!! poolpartymag.com/i-didnt-know...

it’s really annoying that the ‘defund the police’ conversation in the mainstream is only ever “should we have more or less police officers?” and not the “police officers shouldn’t be armed with riot gear and tanks and also can kill people” conversation

This is my favorite chapter title in the book. open.substack.com/pub/allanyth...

Curling transfers surprisingly well to vertical, short form video

im not falling for ‘you can’t just scold gen AI hobbyists’ like ive fallen for so many ‘be diplomatic and patient with idiots’es before. no. if they can’t live without this machine that’s trying to put me out of a job theyre dumb as a box of hair. like they’re clearly not worried about offending ME!

Okay, I have just seen the movie "Chromiumblue.com" and NEED an hour and a half oral history of this movie.

"Outlander" is just the Sub Rosa TV show

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

We didn't need it before 9/11 and it's only been a nightmare since. So.

Keep it that way!

Again, I don't think the administration understands the depth and breadth of hatred towards them. They're going to follow up on *millions* of subpoenas?

the two types of vehicle are cars and trucks, with every vehicle being a subclass of one of those two. a jeep is a truck. a motorcycle is obviously a car. a boat is a truck. an airplane is a car and a helicopter is a truck. trucks are cars, interestingly enough, and cars are a specific type of chair

One of the refrains of this novel is, “however complicated you think it is, its more complicated than that.” In this, Boo both gets shit on and is shitty. Both a fuck up and fucked over. open.substack.com/pub/allanyth...

no seriously why were there so many AI commercials, how can the plagiarism machine that's been hemorrhaging money for years afford an 8 million dollar, 30-second slot to explain how their specific plagiarism machine doesn't have commercials

yes to ALL OF THIS from @chuckwendig.bsky.social terribleminds.com/ramble/2026/...

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

People all over Portland, Oregon were impacted by the chemical warfare deployed by the feds tonight. Here’s a thread of some Portlanders experiences who weren’t even at the protest:

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

If you removed the show Alien: Earth from the Alien universe, you'd basically have John Byrne's Next Men

Mayor Wilson has now indicated he will expedite the rule making process for the Detention Facility Impact Fee. I am grateful for that. We also need District Attorney Nathan Vasquez to outline how he plans to hold ICE agents accountable for the unlawful use of tear gas against a group of families.

If you are pissed off at how the Feds tear gassed families - tell it to the DA - Nathan Vasquez. He has more options than city council. And get it on public legal record with the Attorney General @agdanrayfield.bsky.social

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

The pure cruelty of putting a five year old through all this for absolutely no benefit to anyone or anything

If I ever write a novel that doesn't include an intense critique of the police, that's not me, I've been replaced by a lizard person. open.substack.com/pub/allanyth...

I don't know why Dems keep throwing up their hands and saying that they can't reduce funding for ICE because it's part of Trump's mislabeled "Big Beautiful Bill". Bullshit. What Congress gave, Congress can take away. All they have to do is pass a bill that directs funding away from ICE and CBP

They should've let her drop him

This photo was sent to me by someone else who was exposed to HC on Saturday. They added that they also felt extremely tired, confused, had a sore thoat and felt nauseous Saturday night and Sunday. They told me that they have been exposed to teargas before but had never had this experience.
