For new follower: I'm an artist/researcher/writer/game designer based in north east England. My interests are mostly between ludology, horror studies, and ecriture feminine. Long term foci are trans readings of Cixous, + TTRPG manuals as experimental literature and model for audience agency in art.

This doesn’t even pass the laugh test, let alone the smell one. If you’re taken in by this, then you’re the type of person whose work colleagues regularly sends you to the shop for a tin of tartan paint and a long stand.

The right is full of grown-ass adults who are afraid of vaccines, kid's books, and anyone Twitter or OAN tells them to fear, including the entirety of NYC, and NYC is full of people who cheerfully chase federal agents out of the state and then do stunts on Citibikes; you tell ME who's going to win.

Am I just not paying attention, or two months on has the Charlie Kirk wrenching of garments finished? Like a mixture of insincere opportunism and a right wing shooter, has resulted in a cultural vanishing similar to Game of Thrones?

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

piracy is a completely aspirational problem for any author in america to have and i think anyone trying to stake out an anti-piracy position is a demon full stop

My thing on piracy is, it's good. If something costs nothing to duplicate, then anyone who wants it should have a copy. This includes scanning OOP publications. As a rule I never pirate other people's work from small presses, but I've created bootlegs of my own work for people who couldn't afford it

I've been indulging in a little "millennial sundowning" (listening to we were wrong so we drowned, apols to Queen Mary, and Frances the Mute) and honestly this lineup has made me feel so much less shame for that.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.
