I posted a not fun update to my GoFundMe. I fell and broke my back. I'm almost certainly paralyzed for life. I'll start a new GoFundMe when I know more what my life will look like in the future, but until then donations will help with lost income and my mom to pay for gas and VERY expensive parking.

A while ago I was trying to learn as much about Greenland as possible (ostensively for research for my comic, but mostly because I was interested). If you want a window on daily life in Greenland, I recommend Q’s Greenland on Youtube: youtube.com/@qsgreenland...

Hindi writer Vinod Kumar Shukla passed away a couple of days ago, and Chaar Phool Hain Aur Duniya Hai – a wonderful documentary about him – seems to now be available to watch for free on YouTube. It's a powerful portrait of stillness, and well worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM6q...

"Each of the eight stories here finds a different path into the world where the Red Tower holds sway..." Lovely review from Erica Ruppert of Ligotti-inspired anthology We Will Speak Again of the Red Tower: www.nerdgoblin.com/read-this-we...

Interview with Ivy Grimes about my debut short story collection, Maidens of Midnight. If you're interested in indie horror, Ivy's newsletter is a fun mix of indie-focused interviews, features, and musings.

More advance praise for @charibdys.bsky.social's debut collection THE MAIDENS OF MIDNIGHT, this time from the superlative @christinogle.bsky.social. Limited to 150 copies, less than 50 copies remain. Cover art by @luciaretamales.bsky.social, cover design by @grossandcolorful.bsky.social.

is there a mecha collection on itchio? should i make a curated mecha collection on itchio? my only hesitation is any curated list i make will be biased against the mechsploitation subgenre (because i feel that's a subgenre of erotic cyberpunk, not mech fiction)

@sasuraiger.bsky.social TJPW pro wrestler Mahiro Kiryu, current holder of DDT's Ironman Heavymetalweight 24/7 belt (which must be defended any time, anywhere as long as a ref is around) has taken to playing mahjong for challenges www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAvX...

brewing two zines, one about using tarot to supplement quick characterization for fiction and one that got a bit out of control length-wise which is an intro to cheap non-toxic miniature painting

Resharing this because I feel like I've raised my head above water finally. Got to write a piece for this that was probably the most fun I had, trying to pay homage to Ligotti's story-turned-essay format. I could analyse the AMAZING authors in this AS WELL as ramble about random theories--the DREAM

There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

I'm not going to say right now how I got a preview of this collection, but it is excellent, and there are now 149 or fewer print copies available.

everyone is terrible at pitching Gundam Wing to the current generation of anime watchers. what the people need to know is that half the cast are butch women

i oughta talk more about my writing and art but every time i open the text box to type a post i have to fight the urge to shriek into the aether about what a fascist sack of shit LLMs are. so poisoned that even anti-AI people are trapped into conversations about how it miiight be good some day

anyone who says the nationality term USian shouldn't be used has an anti-Argentina agenda. drill in further and you'll always find that's the case. i won't elaborate further as there's no need

huh, someone scanned 3 of the 4 comics anthologies i co-edited in college and uploaded them to the internet archive. i don't mind, in this case, because they were short-run and will never be reprinted, but i'm surprised the anthologies made it out that far

"When I was first introduced to Ligotti’s “The Red Tower”...I loved what a textured and uncanny piece it is. It felt like reading an oil painting with heavy use of impasto." @charibdys.bsky.social ivygrimes.substack.com/p/interview-...

Over the past few weeks, HiLoBrow has run installments of my long essay “Without Care,” which maps out a 21st century gothic that I started calling The Devoid. All four installments are now live and you can read the whole thing here; enjoy!

new the faint single!!!! thefaint.bandcamp.com/track/projec...

The double splitscreen shot from 1:13-1:42 is one of the most insane shots created during the photochemical era. You’ve got a real woman fondling Maroon and Valiant at both ends of the shot, with the woman’s body hidden by splitscreens that run along the edges of the fluted columns in the BG…
