Therapist: Holding onto grudges hurts you more than your "enemies", especially when you nurture them in private. Pink Floyd: Huh. Pink Floyd: So you're saying I should write a hit song about how much they fuckin' suck? Therapist: Well- Pink Floyd: Or like a couple albums? Therapist: Guys.

Well, the reviews are starting to come out! Over on Amazon it's got 5 and 4-star reviews, and on Audible.com, they're all 5 stars! WoW! Thanks everyone who took the time to review, I really appreciate it.

I accidentally mistook some characters from Piers Plowman as if they were from Pilgrim's Progress tonight. @gavinetc.bsky.social and @colinmcc.bsky.social have, appropriately, begun the petitions to have my literature degree revoked.

This is America today. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Therapist told me that kids don't do bug box assignments anymore? Where you fill a box with bugs and climb in? And the teacher flunks you for screaming? Is this a Common Core change?

When you're struggling, remember that it will pass. You'll look back, and feel relief. "I'm glad that's over," you will think. You're only days or hours from that moment.

Unclench your jaws, beloveds.

"Pavlov's dog was so silly," I think as I make baked potatoes after writing dialogue about how baked potatoes are delicious.

"What's in the box? Actually, someone go get my wife because I'm scared of boxes, and she knows the right way to tell me what's in them."

Noticed today that an important reaction image has disappeared from the internet, so I’m doing my part to bring it back. Sent from my Flip Phone.

Yeats was so right when he said “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold” because I can’t get these earbuds to stay in at ALL

Don’t go with your first idea. Surprise yourself. Shock yourself, even. Force yourself to confront the disgusting undercroft of your creativity. “Why are there so many SPIDERS down here?” That’s the sound of a writer living up their full creative potential.

Shredded chicken (requires a slow cooker) -1 pack of bone-in chicken (remove skin or it’ll be too fatty) -1 onion, roughly chopped -1 jalapeño, chopped -1 tomato, chopped Throw everything into the slow cooker (chicken on top), season with salt, pepper, garlic, chicken bouillon, cook on low 6 hours

Hey, Deer. It's raining out there. Your fur's getting all wet. What are you doing. Come inside already. Don't be proud.

Here's a list of Los Angeles area food banks compiled by @laist.com. laist.com/news/food-as...

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and let me know if you have any questions! 🤗

Occasionally, you come to the unshakeable conclusion that parts of your body were just designed wrong. My right ear is 2/5 stars on Yelp.

Very good time to donate what you've got, money or food, to local food banks.

Not saying these biscuits are too hard, but I just cut myself on one.

A joke about bears: Are bears scary? Yes, beary scary. I hope you enjoyed my little bear joke.

When you find posts in the wild and have to check if @shivambhatt.bsky.social reskeeted it.

New writing device has arrived. Hopeful tale of vengeance, madness and woe resuming shortly.

The game industry I joined 20 some odd years ago no longer exists. There are moments of it left, mainly in some of the indie studios, but overall it's a very different landscape than it once was

PC Gamer just put out the 2025 edition of their Top 100 Games #7 is... Caves of Qud! www.pcgamer.com/games/the-to...

Don't know who needs this, but my firewall was busted after upgrading from Windows 10 to 11, and this was the fix. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answer...

With my writing device busted, I have been filling my notebook with chickenscratch writing for two weeks. What I’m saying is, my novel is done, but you’ll need to read it over here. Don’t mind the coffee stains.

After 13 years as first a contract writer, then a salaried writer, then a lead writer, then a senior writer at InXile Entertainment, I have been laid off. I had a great time while I was there, and I am sad to go, but as they say, every ending is a new beginning, so here's me, beginning again.

Ouch. This one cuts to the bone.

bro did you just challenge portland to express oppositional defiance in competitively creative ways bro

Writing is pretty good, huh. Making word magic for other people to enjoy. "I'm going to create pictures in your head that tell a story." How do we keep getting away with this.

Me, describing my novel about loss and grief in a dying world: “It’s a comedy.”

I've got delicious Indian leftovers in my fridge, but bad news, I've got delicious Indian leftovers in my fridge. How am I supposed to avoid eating it all right now? I am beset by trials.

I wrote something good last week.

IT’S AN INVASION

Accidentally learned too many platypus facts in a short space of time and had to go stand outside for a few minutes to calm down

Been tending to what I THOUGHT was a dying fern and happened to notice today that it was doing a little climb. Gonna go right ahead and scrub "attention to detail" from my resume.

Nice try, nefarious person. My security is impregnable.

This current game industry business collapse is revealing the deep trauma felt by most game developers, especially those who started in the industry between 1999-2008 or so. Most have been mistreated in some way, most only just realizing it over the past 2-3 yrs of market turmoil.

Zombies are the ultimate American horror story because even when you’re dead, you can’t escape hustle culture, i.e getting them brains.

A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library's children and young adult sections has just been awarded $700,000 in a settlement. t.co/EA5L1kOZfV

My writing device is busted, so I’ve returned to the novel writing methods of impoverished barista Gavin, frantically filling pages of notebooks with chickenscratch.

putting in 70 hours a week and i'm still at the bottom of the escaping samsara leaderboards, what the fuck
