Hacks was wonderful.

Did I mention editing a book takes a long time?

The first episode of Spider-Noir didn't really win me over. It's like if Spider-Man was more like Batman The Animated Series. I don't need Spider-Man to be like Batman. What are we even doing? Maybe it does something more original later.

I'm tired of this administration doing completely illegal things and facing no consequences. If no one faces any consequences for all the corruption and killing, we are over.

Grave of the Fireflies. I'm a movie crier in general, but this one had me sobbing violently halfway through and it never relented. My entire face was puffy for a full day after.

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

Has anybody been watching Hacks?

I got another five-star review for The Cabin Box, and it couldn't have been a better reaction. It started with "Wow" and got better from there. I'm trying to face the fact that some people are going to love my book.

I'm finally playing through Silent Hill 2 because I just bought Silent Hill F.

I got another advanced review for The Cabin Box and it was a 9 out of 10! www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

Oh my God... Stephen Colbert did an hour-long program on Michigan public access last night with sidekick Jack White and guest Jeff Daniels...

This is the first time in a long time that a horror movie has made it hard for me to fall asleep. #Obsession

@spikepoint.bsky.social As a fan of horror movies, you should watch Obsession when you can. I'm excited to hear what you think.

Maybe the budget shouldn't matter, but Obsession was made for less than $1 million. It was written, directed, and edited by one person. I can't praise it enough.

Obsession is the kind of movie some critics don't like because it's a horror film that's trying to be a horror film.

Yeah, Obsession (2025) has the goods.

Continuing my horror kick, I watched Mother Mary. It is very close to working, and a lot of its more theatrical instincts are cool, but it can't seem to sell the Mother Mary character, which is a huge problem for a movie that's mostly two characters.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy was better than I expected, but not anything I would recommend. It's a movie that struggles to get from one scene to the next. It throws a lot of horror ideas at the wall, but most of it undercuts itself.

Wow, this is peak bird intelligence. These birds saw someone feeding a wounded bird, so they started pretending they were also injured.

My motivation is 0 today, which is fair.

I feel like everything I hear about navigating modern society and capitalism is a horror story. My only objective is to interact with it as little as possible while making my queer art and not dying.

I think Etsy are doing a big joke at my expense with these emails "Buyers love your shop" ok let me open it again??

Kickstarter has reverted their policy changes on Adult Content! They issued an apology, siting Stripe as the reason. The pressure we put on them worked. This is a step in the right direction. But the threat of Stripe remains. It’d be great to see KS end ties with them & process payments elsewhere.

Once I finish The Fraternity Box, I'm going to reward myself with a viewing of Obsession.

This is seriously my financial strategy.

I'm releasing three romance novels over the course of three months. I plan on slowing down after that, but wow, how do other romance writers do it year after year?

I'm working on my MM romance novel, The Fraternity Box, for its July release. The ARCs need to be ready by June. I'm running out of time!

I don't really have enough followers, especially romance followers, to have any real effect on social media, yet I still keep making these posts.

My hope for 10 reviews on Amazon the weekend my MM romance novel comes out is looking iffy, but there is still a chance. 🤞 Here is a link to a review copy on BookSirens. booksirens.com/book/NI8FN21...

I'm hoping Summer Games Fest brings good news. (From Software, please.)

I played through Pools. I liked it. YMMV.

Being drunk does just feel like drinking poison. Fun!

I drink about once a month. The time is now. I miss Twitter drinking buddies. But I don't actually encourage anyone to drink. It's dumb. Still, it's a relief to do dumb things once in a while.

Novels are just long enough that editing them always feels like too much for my brain to handle. Anything under 50k is fine. But over 60k is mind-numbing.

Reading books I don't like always makes me feel better about my own writing.

Thanks @nathangrayson.bsky.social for writing one of the few things about this whole situation that has made me feel less insane when I read it

The more I see public reactions to popular art (games, movies, books, music), the less I want to enter that space. Let me make enough money to live on without ever becoming popular, please. Thanks.

My book club is meeting today about The Tainted Cup. I hope they liked it more than me. I thought it was a cool book, but I just wasn't very invested.

I got my first ARC review from BookSirens for The Cabin Box: "This book was a straightforward zero-angst love story with a touch of magic. ... I liked this story. I liked the characters. I liked the mystery of the box. I loved the setting in the wilderness." This was exactly what I was hoping for!

My main thought about "Ballmaxxing" is that it's not new. The only new thing is adding "maxxing" to every word.

Honestly I get it

There was a quote that said something like Black people worship a Jesus who knows what it's like to be lynched, while white people worship a Jesus who will forgive them for being part of a lynch mob.

I'm reading The Land of Laughs by Jonathan Carroll. I'm 44% done, and there have been some clues, but I still have no idea where the story is going. Very little has happened. I'm not even sure what kind of story it is yet.

I'm trying to ignore as much "discourse" as I can and live a happy life.
