hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

“The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.” Absolute banger of a line from Adam. Keep standing strong against fascism. For as long as it takes.

Home sick today. Hit me with your movie recommendations. Here are some of my recent 5-star watches:

80s horror double-header tonight.

These are the icy mountains of Pluto. It took 9 years to get these magnificent images… and 4.8 billion kilometers.

I’m awake again. It’s transcendent to finally feel creatively inspired once more, to get excited by stories, to want to take pen to paper and craft something beautiful, haunting, fierce. Your boy is back; here come the stories.

How I feel when I finish watching a fantastic movie

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

Happy Birthday, John Carpenter!

David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

Check out Augur issue 8.2 for my short story, "The Event Horizon of Honey," a surrealist horror tale exploring memory loss, grief, love, and the eldritch entities that stalk the woods beyond the beehives: augursociety.org/augur-issue-...

The Woman in the Dunes (1964)

01. AGENTS OF DREAMLAND by Caitlín R. Keirnan (2017) #2026reads

Friends, please drop your best self-care recommendations. I need ’em.

Kicking back with a beer to watch If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. I hope it’s a nice, relaxing movie!

I have made it my mission to play, in some form or another, at least the five core games from the Metal Gear Solid series. I’m starting tonight with Snake Eater (in its Delta form).

Research haul 😉 #writing

if you can go to an antiwar demonstration, do it

One of the most “Canadian” things about me is that I’ll happily venture into subzero temperatures for an Iced Capp from Tim Horton’s.

📢 A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MUCHA

This year, @salemskeeper.bsky.social and I made a concerted effort to watch more films we’ve never seen—international, independent, classics, etc. Here are all of this year’s additions to my list of perfect movies. Full list here: boxd.it/OPBi0

It's a new year new you, so you should write that book. Because while you wait for that mythical 'right time', you're letting go of the fire and passion of your 20s, 30s, 40s, and on, all of them unique literary selves that you'll never get back. So don't miss out. Just make the time. Write.

Re: New Year’s Resolutions ✅

Some artworks released in 2025 that I loved:

THE SHOE TREE Pleasant Park, Ontario Sunday, December 28, 2025 On Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max

I added a new movie to my list of perfect films today: IT ENDS (2025), directed (as a *debut*) by Alexander Ullom, starring Phinehas Yoon, Akira Jackson, Noah Toth, and Mitchell Cole. Watch these names, folks. boxd.it/citWnN

I’m so excited to announce “Dark Dreams on Diverging Roads”! In this game you’ll play as a famous author on a book tour. Drive to unique locations, meet interesting characters, drink lots of coffee, and LOOK BEHIND YOU. Wishlist now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4228950/...

I have a BA, MA, and PhD in English (literature and creative writing). I developed invaluable knowledge and skills pursuing these degrees, which I apply daily to my game writing, narrative design, and game design praxes. Literary studies is an incredibly versatile field, contrary to popular belief.

I always forget about this part

Roast me like one of your chestnuts on an open fire.

What are your favourite games from 2025?

Bro, you doing alright, bro? I saw the autosave icon come on just as you entered the room

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

PSA: Please do not send me or my colleagues your story ideas for the game we're actively working on. Especially do not send us your long, detailed manifesto about what changes we should make and your ideas for improving the story. We can't read it. We won't read it. Don't do it!
