they hate him for his media literacy and reading comprehension

I joked with my wife that if the pope excommunicates vance I'd become a deacon, and I'm getting kinda scared the lord might be coming to collect

doing this with gender war bait has been a wonderful way to keep myself sane

checking here once an hour or so for the sole purpose of seeing if it's happened yet, and then logging off

A dream come true! Rain's an incredible narrator and I'm delighted for my book to finally be out in audio & become accessible for more readers. Pre-orders are up now. Thank you, Rain!

working on my second noise album. i got better.

When I broke my wrist as a kid I remember seeing a flurry of drs, and very briefly encountered this one woman dressed as a hippie with a lab coat and long gray hair. she examined my wrist with her fingers and it was somehow the most firm and gentle touch ever. i felt she could have healed me then.

I will however ask, rhetorically perhaps, if you are not an anarchist after today, what in the world is it going to take?!

I won't preach to the choir.

nope. the executive order trump made about npr/pbs was deemed unconstitutional. congress rescinded funding from the cpb which is still dissolved and without federal funding.

every day I sour more and more on the idea of hate watching/reading. There's more good stuff in the world than you'll ever be able experience even if you tried. And that's beautiful. And you spend your time reading the new york times and watching reality tv that you HATE? Get real.

i wish i could still feel excited about space stuff

On this new episode of Writing The Rapids I'm joined by @shelleylavigne.bsky.social to talk about the ephemeral nature of indie lit, community vs friendship, body horror, smut and erotica, and more.

trans liberation yesterday

tr^ns day of scrutiny & surveillance. of yet more allyship that ends at its declaration. of punitive legislation. of the endless, endless evaluative gaze. of words meant to destroy. today is a day i bring my grief & anger to the world, to transform them into fierce compassion, & help us live.

starve them of oxygen. do something you enjoy. it's that simple.

I've promised myself I'm going to reassemble my rig this weekend and it's the main thing getting me through the week. I wanna play shows, make one of a kind tapes.

ruin your friday

The "Something has been so stuck in my craw that I have to do grad school level research to work through it" style of video essay will always be my favorite kind.

Try to come to terms with the idea that there's like a dozen people at the very top of the power hierarchy who are apocalyptic evangelicals and that they are actively trying to end the world, without turning into a completely unhinged crank.

I wonder how much of it is my age, and how much of it is a reaction to our very noisy world. But I'm not just "out" of things to watch or listen to in the background at work, but I'm finding myself just preferring to not put anything on at all.

16 hour youtube video called Archival Violence and Goregrind Album Artwork: A Brief Introduction

They're finally here and look great!!

The average tech ceo is more misanthropic than every black metal band combined

this time I swear I'm gunna do it* *revive my harsh noise project

Totally understand the need for writers and artists of all kinds to classify what they do as Work in a world that continually devalues us. But internally, I need to see writing and whatever else as escapist flights of fancy. I didn't work on my book or poetry collection today, I engaged in pleasure.

saw a bunch a goregrind and related acts yesterday. You know it's gunna be a weird time when people's shirts are making you nauseous

my favorite color is the way light reflects off the back of my dog's eyes in the dark

I'm trying

Just in the past few days I've gotten ads on instagram for finding jobs in Estonia, Finland, Japan, and Canada

I'm moving in two weeks and there is much uncertainty in this situation, what is not uncertain is that I printed and assembled a ton of zines about a month ago over like four or five days so I wouldn't have to pause the shop at any point through the summer. Zines every day of the year!

booted up a new No Man's Sky file. Between that and reading fantasy novels I bought as a child I'd say everything is totally fine.

fantastic album

For those who may have missed it, I have put out two books in the last six months: SARA and Black Hole Science SARA is a novel in fragments about a girl, her dog in an impossible dream world. Black Hole Science is a collection of short material from 2012-2025. Get both at never.horse/books.html

I've been seeing people advocating for a sword and sorcery revival. I support. Please just bring back covers like this too.

at a point in my life where if I see album art like this I'm just going to immediately buy it

hey journalists who interviewed all those Iranians celebrating last week, you should do a followup story about how they're feeling now.

Putting this back out here now that AWP is done, if you wanna debrief let me know

David Lynch movies really prepared me for playing pretend with my kid. I'm six different people all at the same time but also just my self and so is she and also my wife and dog

I think it'd be fun to have lots of voices on this so hit me up

I've got some Legitimate Concerns tm about Christians

I like to explain Very Online things to my Very Not Online wife.
