and yet one of these does not appear on the guardians 100 best novels of all time list. INTERESTING

i think to bluntly ask the quesiton 'WHY would anyone want to read this? why would i want to MAKE this? WHAT IS THE GIFT?' can be arresting. but it only triggers imposter syndrome if you conclude 'i must have no gift then'. WE ALL HAVE A GIFT TO GIVE. dont stop at 'oh i have no gift,' GO FIND IT

good practical reflection for artists who feel like whatever theyre making just isnt working is the sit down and VERY HONESTLY ask yourself: what is the gift here? it can be a lot of things. what am i giving to myself? to the world? what feeling? what expression? art that resonates is art that GIVES

Tomodachi life gave me more power than it should've I wonder if @chucktingle.bsky.social approves lol #tomodachi #book #chucktingle

THE LOW PROBABILITY EVENT IS COMING keep an eye out for raining fish

our second FABULOUS BODIES goodreads giveaway has started. enter to win one of 50 paperback ARCS of fabulous bodies by chuck tingle. usa only. LETS TROT www.goodreads.com/giveaway/ent...

buckaroos have been tagging me saying 'chuck you have to watch widows bay it has a real tingleverse horror vibe' and after watching three episodes i totally get it. AMAZING show thank you for the reccomendation buds. legimately very scary and also one of the funniest shows i have seen in a long time

the buckaroos at goodreads have released their MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF SUMMER list, including FABULOUS BODIES. LOVE IS REAL thank you goodreads www.goodreads.com/blog/show/30...

it is true, buckaroos genuinely want their erotica to be made by humans because erotica is art and art is about genuine connection. many 'bizzaro' writers immediately switched to ai covers or writing and it revealed to the world WHY they write. this has and will backfire on them. nobody wants that

i have always had this thing where i tip barbers absurdly well and it is because as a young buckaroo trotting up a had SO many close stylist buds, it is now just kind of this tradition for me i dont know, but i am suddenly realizing that THIS is probably another benefit of tipping your barber well

todays thoughts: 1 theres something beautiful about relationship between a buckaroo and their barber. my barber knew i was chuck before my lawyer did. 2 ive had my time with the high disconnected undercut i think thats sharp in punk rock way but dang these days the mid height undercut is really neat

The first few minutes of this @chucktingle.bsky.social is such a powerful statement about the importance of creativity. "Our existence is part of an innate desire to create ... we are all tethered together ... take that tether and run with it." www.patreon.com/posts/provin...

happy mothers day to all the ladybucks out there graciously accepting their gifts of scented candles

i heckin LOVED matthew rhys in THE BEAST IN ME so i have been very interested in watching widows bay i will probably take this recommendation and start soon

really enjoyed HOKUM. adam scott is wonderful in it and it was just a wonderful classic feeling horror story A REAL TREAT highly recommend

okay i OPENED UP A CAN OF WORMS by saying that i have been everywhere so i cannot keep answering, but in closing i will say that in my youth when i was HITCHHIKIN around livin on the run jack kerouac style i visited 49 states so yes most cities in america i have been to

i have IN FACT been to chico california. i have been to so many dang cities. ask me if ive been to your city i have probably been there

every time i eat a fruit i just cant help thinking 'DANG early humans must have been so PUMPED for this' just imagine trotting around before grochery stores or farming and you just keep stumbling into these trees with delicious candy on them

AND ANOTHER THING it is interesting to look back on that game and all the just incredibly cool ladybuck characters and feel like it just has some kind of undeniable trans energy even more than other games. as a young buckaroo i was definitely like i really want to be cool like Q-BEE or the cat lady

with new mortal kombat movie coming out it has me thinking about all those old fighting games and it has made me realize what a tragedy it is that DARKSTALKERS just kinda trotted away. i do not really play videogames anymore its been a long time but dang i would start up over a new darkstalkers game

COME TROT www.baybookfest.org/session/post...

Started reading @chucktingle.bsky.social's Bury Your Gays this afternoon, and in the first chapter it is established that an enemy of art is AI and then a dude dies a grisly death. A++, excited to continue.

amazing that our own small creations connect us directly to the moment of our universe erupting out of nothing and the unfathomable power of existence itself and yet we look at our drawings or stories and are like 'this is bad.' bud it is not bad it is the leading edge of a billion years of beauty

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERS DAY

LETS TROT ANN ARBOR aadl.org/thebiggayread

first roll call for the upcoming FABULOUS BODIES book tour. WHO IS COMING TO BOSTON? we are already about 75% sold on this one so tickets running down fast. cant wait to trot with @portersqbooks.bsky.social at @brattletheatre.bsky.social JULY 9TH. TICKETS HERE: portersquarebooks.com/event/2026-0...

i have such good ideas for sequals to both CAMP DAMSACUS and BURY YOUR GAYS but not enough time in the day. i enjoy writing original new stories from the same world a little better (as readers know all of my horror novels cross over in various ways) so direct sequels unlikely but DANG fun ideas

so exciting when working on a novel and you arrive at the images that made you want to write it. my books have a lot of set pieces and when working through a draft theres a timing thing where i think 'ok WHERE is the next big moment that only YOU can make?' then BANG it kicks the door open. SO GOOD

its unfortunate that artists get talked out of their rare perspectives so often. ‘its just not done that way’ someone says and artist goes ‘oh okay guess ill sand that part off.’ bud that is your SPARK. so much of my success is from holding firm on the things i do that were called ridiculous

more and more each day

oh hi chuck @chucktingle.bsky.social @tornightfire.bsky.social

when the only thing getting you through the day is your ladybuck tingler collection

I was a guest on Reading Smut with Brea Grant and Mallory O'Meara talking about classic & foundational romances - it was VERY FUN. In this video: I quote Dr. Chuck Tingle @chucktingle.bsky.social  because he was right about books that make you feel things.  Listen here: https://bit.ly/ReadingSmutSW

I love that my Miis talk about @chucktingle.bsky.social
