You have time to give me an entry for this, please be mad at me for a funny reason

Zach is so good. One of my favorite series of books conceptualized in such an essential and immediate way. Please read these books. Please read Memoranda so we can cry together about how beautiful it is.

Stay safe out there folks

Alright, what should I write next? Do I: 1. Re-read relevant parts of LoTR and write about Tolkien's complicated relationship with peace and war OR 2. Re-read Vandermeer's Shriek: An Afterword to write about the Paris Commune, Weird Fiction, and urban unease?

One of the most important realizations I've ever had was that I'd never totally get rid of my anxiety but man some days it just sucks

I have seen them come and go Haters sayin’, no no no Well I got news for you Telling us who to love and who to kiss Don’t dress like that, don’t dance like this Well I got moves for you twrp.bandcamp.com/track/strike...

2026 IN: Terminus Est Dueling with avern leaves Eating the alzabo Plays Horse riding (Thecla edition) Touching weird statues without worry lol it's fine OUT: Maces Taking your job as a carnifex seriously AGIA Falling into the sky Nodules Waiting rooms Snails The Autarch Jonas :(

Take all your light Leave it by the door And slow your fire In the circle of standing stone Walk to me Erase your name In the weird depths, in the sunken cliff Our fallowness latitudesuk.bandcamp.com/track/fallow...

There's nothing quite like stepping into a cold, snowy morning and listening to some Lychgate.

So Bloodborne fans, can you sell me on the healing and parrying system? I really really dislike that they are both tied to finite resources, parrying especially. I know you can get them to drop pretty easily but like...that feels really bad? Going around killing mobs for blood vials and bullets.

Is this the year I finally play Bloodborne?

The Last Duel was great

I don't normally like helping out brands but my Uplift desk is one of the best purchases I've ever made. Two and a half years in and I have had zero problems with it and got so much mileage and usage from it. Just a great product that's the backbone of my home office.

I love how people are complaining about 6-7 or whatever when we had the letter "E" is a (very funny) meme years and years ago why do people get this way when they turn 40ish? I know why don't tell me but like....WHY

Posting poems to LinkedIn again, as I do whenever I am extremely sad and weary and burdened by work.

*deep breath* READ THE WORKS OF VERMIN

this is the way

Listening to weirdo prog metal and finishing up (hopefully) my essay on the history of the weird space opera. howlingsycamore.bandcamp.com/album/seven-...

Here's a habit I had to teach myself by repetition: whenever you write "always" in an essay, use "often" instead. 99% of the time it's what you meant to begin with and the last 1% doesn't really matter.

Love my elite gamer wife

me, seeing a friend of mine suffering a physical or mental ill of any kind or magnitude: you know, martial arts would really help you with that

One of those days where I get off my last call and just feel like someone took a dump inside my soul. Some days I just can't deal with how stupid, meaningless, and soulless my job is. I fucking hate it so much. I'm good at it but it's so goddamn pointless. Wow selling software, so IMPORTANT.

Instead of working I am blasting this full volume on the speakers and getting transported to strange galaxies naxatras.bandcamp.com/track/legion

OK, I think my Top 25 list is more or less done (barring last minute surprises) so here we go. Unranked.

reshare if you agree wall adapters with a single USB C port have a surface area differential ratio that looks weird

I love him

Throwback to one of my favorite FB posts

Oh hey, my band has a new EP out today! My poetry and short stories narrated over dreamy, adventurous prog with Travis Orbin on drums! instar1.bandcamp.com/album/ad-ast...

Minister (sounding suspiciously like the Autarch on the squawk box): if - and I am certain this has never happened - anyone from Exultant to the unwashed rabble doubted the Autarch's benevolence, blame falls on me, for the Autarch's words are honey in the ears of his subjects

Every year I find at least one album in December that absolutely takes over my listening. This year, it's this one. HOLY SHIT. Seriously melodic black and death metal with some of the best synth grooves I've ever heard. labyrinthusstellarum.bandcamp.com/album/rift-i...

I was very angry walking into this episode and by the end of it I was very sad. That was an improvement, believe it or not. Dare to imagine a better world.

The key to a good stoner album is it should make me smile from ear to ear within the first minute from how ridiculous the groove is. Here's an example: kaleidobolt.bandcamp.com/track/anothe...

Preparing to run a Heart campaign and, unrelated, reading The Works of Vermin. My brain is riddled with eldritch powers and twisted knowledge.

I still haven't been able to figure out (with therapy and without it) why some days I just wake up with an immense rage (particularly about work) in my heart. Probably capitalism.

Can't wait for the second one of the comings!

The thing about this dog is, he knows he's photogenic and he absolutely abuses it.

NO GREAT MEN ONLY THE GREAT MANY ashenspire.bandcamp.com/track/tragic...

Can't wait to read all about how the Brown University shooter was motivated by some nonsense intellectual edifices he built for himself to excuse his dead end life instead of reckoning with the material reality of the world he lives and operates in and taking some fucking responsibility

I am listening to that good leftist avant-garde pissed off metal and hating the lurid mysteries that humans conjure to cloak their own disgrace ashenspire.bandcamp.com/album/hostil...

The only way to not immediately be disgusted and off put by """the new age""" and 99% of """paganism""" is to not interact with their history at all. If you read even one book on the people who form the ideological and theoretical basis of these movements, you will/should be filled with nausea.

A better world is possible. Demand utopia.

I'm in Providence and I'm all good. I love lead and living in years made of lead.
