My latest short story, “Kraken,” is finally out from smoke and mold. It’s gross, it’s sad, it’s basically tentacle porn, and it’s the best short story I’ve written so far. Check it out here:

I genuinely thing that US-Americans do not believe the rest of the world to be real. "Isn't it better if the administration is in the hands of people who are just as genocidal as conservatives but who believe in rainbow capitalism and DEI?" is not an opinion someone with a soul would espouse.

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now). This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

's sophomore shortform collection TABOO isn't just one of the best books of 2025 - it's also a testament to the power of collective organizing in underground publishing. One of the best showcases of obscure talent and potential I've ever read.

Something that I find particularly galling about the entire AI on campus conversation is that the total lack of respect for professors it implies hardly gets mentioned.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
