my short story 'The Alchemical Method of Terraforming' was published in @charliefish.bsky.social's Fiction on The Web this month! www.fictionontheweb.co.uk/2025/10/the-...

Amazing what ancient people built even though they were all skeletons

my story 'Sing' is in Beneath Ceaseless Skies today! It's one of my favorite things I've written! www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/sing/

it ought to be interesting to see how everything shakes out

"Yup, there's your problem. You've mistaken arbitrary norms specific to your social group for sacred immutable truths and it has driven you insane."

Type wonks: am I the only one annoyed every time I see some White House release presented in a serif face? You don't get serifs until you're adults, guys.

pete hegseth should get into war thunder

Every country should structure its legal and regulatory systems as a series of traps that guarantee someone like Elon Musk would end up in prison before he ever got rich

the law and order people are not so much with the law and order

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't live your dreams

READ. BLACK. WEIRD. FICTION.

"well as long as it's age appropriate" no fuck you guys actually, i read adult books when i was 12 and now i'm weird as hell, as i SHOULD be

i just made my writer website! it's pretty bare-bones for now, but it feels really cool to have an online presence like that. one step further to being a """real writer"""! (julesblywrites.com)

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

Analysis of Trump supporters tends to miss the basic story: one (1) Black person got to be president, and white Americans decided it was better to destroy the entire American system than risk it ever happening again

Destabilization of reality in the US is about to reach surreal heights. Protect your mind. Monitor stress levels. Do not doomscroll--it does not help. Be selective about when and how long you expose your brain to this. Do what you can when you can.

Random #LEGO set of the day: Adventurers Car

Hey with all of this “buy Canadian” as a response to the tariffs, can we also remember to READ CANADIAN. Canadian publishers will struggle to distribute books to the US, and Canadian authors struggle to get published there. American authors have a much easier time to be published here. Soooo….

Movie music goes "this bit is sad. This bit is tense", while game music goes "this bit is a swamp. This bit is a volcano." That's way better actually! Movie soundtracks should try being indifferent to their characters' inner worlds and their stupid little problems and tell you they are in a field

few words as immediately cool as 'dreadnought'

The best way to know if an author or artist you love is secretly a terrible person is... you can't. There are no magic tricks here. Awful people who successfully manage to be awful for years are good at hiding the fact they are awful. All the average person can do is deal on a case by case basis

Could only read a little of the Gaiman article. Truly sickening stuff. He should be in jail

In general, I'd love people who don't know anything about LA to shut up about LA

we all remember that part in the indiana jones movies where he parries someone

Had a full rewatch of The Acolyte today and I love it even more. It's truly sad it's not getting renewed, and it's pretty obvious big things were being setup for S2 and beyond. I wish Disney allowed art to blossom before dropping the ball on people who clearly are passionate about what they do.

Good work 47, now make your way to an exit

its actually unfair that Darkest Dungeon II has an even better soundtrack than the first game, something i truly didn't think was possible
