I am re-publishing my novel "Faster on My Own" on my Patreon for paid members, which previously ran in my now-deleted Substack. It's about a leftist of non-specific ideology who decides that he needs to actively make the world worse so the revolution will come. Check out the first chapter for free!

Luke O'Neil is a very talented writer who understands the moment quite acutely. I spoke to him for @typebarmagazine.bsky.social recently! www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/o...

Open date will likely be between Halloween and Thanksgiving. The period will likely be shorter than last time because I have a better sense of how many essays I'll need.

We will be re-opening to pitches in late autumn :)

An excellent assessment.

There's a reason my friend Liz coined the term "The Lousy Thousies"

Found out it's 2000s week or whatever the fuck at Taco Bell this week so I'm sharing this bad boy again www.typebarmagazine.com/2024/05/29/n...

This is what I liked so much about the etched city, brilliantly covered by my man @jrbolt.bsky.social in the very first issue of Typebar magazine! www.typebarmagazine.com/2024/03/24/i...

We use Deck Blue over at @typebarmagazine.bsky.social and it’s a huge help! Definitely worth it!

25 years ago PBS began airing Between the Lions — arguably the zenith of children's programming. The years since then have seen a precipitous and deeply concerning nosedive in the quality of what children are watching. www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/b...

We also have a Ko-Fi if you're interested in a one-time contribution. We are an independent operation and all the money we make goes back into the magazine. Thanks to *your* support we were able to increase writer pay this year! We'd love to do so again soon. ko-fi.com/typebarmagaz...

While Hideaki Anno is most famous for legendary animated series Neon Genesis Evangelion, it's his lesser-known 1998 film Love & Pop that serves as his most eerily prescient and arguably his most emotionally accessible www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/l...

Dread Delusion is a masterclass in using deliberate gameplay limitations to define a narrative www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/g...

@ernie.tedium.co wrote an excellent post about Substack last month with similar conclusions. www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/07/14/d...

"What I can say is that you’re probably reading this on a screen. You’ve probably read other things on a screen today. At least one of them probably made you feel confused, angry, or afraid." www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/w...

What is "accuracy to the source material" worth when the source material is an overall-clad plumber jumping on turtles? www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/t...

"Faithfulness" to source material is for nerds. Just tell a good story.

I love this essay because it applies the lens of critical (literary) analysis to the medium of video game design. Really thoughtful stuff from @gaycannibalism.bsky.social

I had never heard of this movie when it was pitched to me and the essay totally blew me away. A really excellent read and for $1 it's a steal IMHO (especially considering you get the rest of Issue 7, too!)

I'm sat.

Anyway, @typebarmagazine.bsky.social had this to say about today's sci-fi discourse a year ago, and people in publishing got incandescently angry about it www.typebarmagazine.com/2024/03/24/n...

My partner credits Between the Lions with fostering her lifelong love of reading. I suspect children will not be able to say the same in the future about videos of Spider-Man murdering Peppa Pig.

This whole thread is fantastic. In the first-ever issue of @typebarmagazine.bsky.social, we had @simonm223.bsky.social come to a similar conclusion and everyone went berserk lol www.typebarmagazine.com/2024/03/24/n...

Here's a little taste from the opening of "A Night as Violet." Read the rest in Typebar Magazine!

Hey @support.bsky.team, I think it's stunningly inappropriate that you've suspended Dorian over something like this. As many have already stated, this is an incredibly alarming stance the site has taken against queer people.

a great-looking ToC but I'm especially excited for @jonathanthornton.bsky.social on Jenny Hval!

Three days!!

This Friday!!
