'wait when did chuck tingle get political?'

whenever folks talk about harry potter and separating artist from art they always have this indignant 'OH SO IM A BAD FOR BUYING THESE BOOKS?' but thats not the real issue. the reality is that many will BELIEVE you are bad, and that is VALID. its not your choice what others think of you

BUCKAROO there is a little over a day left to enter the FABULOUS BODIES GOODREADS GIVEAWAY. there are 50 advanced reader copies goin out. enter here www.goodreads.com/giveaway/ent...

wow VERY impressed there is water and air that is very cool we are super lucky

HERES TO THE WRITERS

i think a decent way of critique is to decide between 'this is what i PERSONALLY think but it has no bearing on a fundamental good or bad art' OR hunt for some objective metric of 'REGARDLESS of what i personally felt, did this piece accomplish its goal?' both are valid, issue is conflating the two

one hundred percent. i also think this happens in reverse where folks will just personally not like something or maybe it triggers jealousy inside of them or something, so they think 'i dont like this THEREFORE IT MUST FUNDAMENTALLY AND OBJECTIVELY BE BAD ART' then we end up with a substack article

so funny when people get all upset about genres that other people DARE to enjoy. these big think pieces about ROMANTASY or COZY HORROR or DARK ACADEMIA and how dang upset they make the writer of the article. bud who cares what other people like youll be fine. let people read their books oh my god

you prove love

other los angeles buckaroos will be happy to know that the scene i am currently writing in this novel is a jump scare at ALL TIME brunch

one of my favorite things when buckaroos do bad things is we are given opportunity to find grace. it is a loaded word because there are religious connotations but as a non religious buckaroo i find the concept so powerful: not just forgiveness but grace. thankful for those moments when they come

right this way buckaroo

reason to live just dropped

FABULOUS BODIES ADVANCED READER COPIES HAVE ARRIVED AND THEY ARE LOOKIN GOOD. preorder here buckaroos us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

uh oh this post getting more likes again after my recent green day post

i have always found it so interesting how little it is mentioned that green day is a queer band. to have an openly bisexual man as your singer in 90s was big deal but i rarely see them talked about as any kind of pioneers in this way. dont really have an opinion on this just think it is interesting

readers often ask 'whats the best way to support an author?' and while there are MANY ways to do this, the most powerful is clear: PREORDER THE AUTHORS BOOK. i will go into why, but first please consider taking the briefest moment to preorder FABULOUS BODIES: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

LETS TROT

LOVE IS REAL AT @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social what a wonderful weekend thank you to my seattle buckaroos who came to trot and to my wonderful panel buds @sgj.bsky.social @senlinyu.bsky.social and @sea-ya-later.bsky.social SEE YOU NEXT TIME SEATTLE

this is a very fun piece thank you @aiptcomics.com aiptcomics.com/2026/03/07/c...

Two of the kindest, most talented folks you’ll ever meet, right here. 🩷 🖤 @chucktingle.bsky.social and @sgj.bsky.social

EMERALD CITY COMIC CON come trot with me friday at 1:15 for the SPOTLIGHT ON CHUCK TINGLE PANEL and then saturday at 12:45 for CELEBRITY AUTHOR TRIVIA. both panels have a signing after LETS TROT SEATTLE @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social

VERY good thinking and i wish i was this clever but no, i trotted to the studio to visit some buds and they asked if i wanted to sit in booth while they were recording. singer makes a noise on the record that all who have heard is just think is the singer but it is actually me laughing in background

my laugh was sampled on a grammy nominated album but you would never be able to look it up because i am uncredited

happy birthday to my bud, my true buckaroo, POSSIBLY SECRETLY ME HIDDEN UNDER THE MASK? or not. BUT a true friend @ceejthemoment.bsky.social give her a follow on here and read her dang books

by the way if you have not seen tickled by buckaroo @davidfarrier.com it really is in top three documentaries i have ever seen. just incredible. and give him a follow on here david has made a life of consistently fighting the good fight and proving love

AMERICAN MOVIE, TICKLED, and SOME KIND OF MONSTER

i think the fact that i can say over and over again 'i am not being ironic, this is not a bit, my books are not a joke' and have people on the right AND left just say 'NO YOU ARE' to my face (or my mask) over and over again is very telling. culture just cannot deal with neurodivergent people yet

please enjoy brand new tingler NOT POUNDED BY THIS T-REX ON THE USA MEN’S HOCKEY TEAM BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT HE’S A MAGA DORK out now. get it here www.amazon.com/dp/B0GQ7YSVDF or on tingleverse patreon www.patreon.com/posts/not-po...

it is so funny to me that of all the things i have ever posted about art, the most controversial take WITHOUT QUESTION is when i say that the best thing you can do if you want a career as an artist is to be KIND to your peers. folks get SO upset by that one, which i think is unfortunately telling

every moment happens once, just floating by wether we notice it or not. here and gone. it is up to us to grab these little slivers of time and see them and give them a nod. what a blessing it is to be given this chance. remember to take it when you can

what an honor @blumineck.bsky.social thank you for the tingleverse cameo youtu.be/xTQU2li_A9U?...

DANG DO I LOVE BEING ALIVE. LETS TROT. WHAT A DAY TO PROVE LOVE

A TIMELESS MESSAGE. WASH YOUR DANG HANDS
