Everything is everything

Georgia's kitchen In Wisconsin. A few days off up here. Looking at the world instead of at screens. Oh, but wait...these are screens.

"Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go," quoth the Ramones. Sqinks deadline approaches. music.youtube.com/watch?v=V4RQ...

For the last few months I've been reading Thomas Pynchon's "against the day" from 2006. Insanely long. Some chapters western style and some are 1920s type science fiction. Lots of beautiful writing. Plot is nothing much & the characters are hard to keep straight. But it's a treasure trove.

Venus and the Moon. Good morning, world.

Rudy Jr goes deep into cyberspace to get an obscure network thing working for me. For the final tweak on the top server, he phoned "Joe" at his monkeybrains.net

Put up a blog post about SQINKS. Don't worry, just 6 mode days till the campaign ends. I'm acting like PBS, I know. Just wait me out. I'm planning a long and keenly thought-out post on the new AI soon. www.rudyrucker.com/blog/2025/09...

9/16/25 is a Pythagorean triple day! 3 squared + 4 squared = 5 squared! A right triangle. Read my classic story "The Square Root of Pythagoras" written with Paul Difilippo. www.rudyrucker.com/completestor...

Update #5, "Watch Rudy Write," with some very very heavily marked-up text in the first printed paperback copy, one of a kind. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rud...

Could there be anything more bogus than an email whose Subject line IS the spammer mantra:: "Reaching out"?

* “I’m worried how slow you are,” says Carol. "You’ll never finish SQINKS.” * “It’s a transrea novell,” I protest. “New things keep happening.” * “Write that last chapter for real!” * “I’ll do it,” I say, still lying on my back. “I’ll finish this afternoon.” www.kickstarter.com/projects/rud...

Working my head off on final revisions of SQINKS this month. Talkin' eight-hour days. Almost done. At some level I'm happy. Writing is, after all, one of things I most love to do.

Another Rudy photo. Kind of an "Albert Hitchcock Presents" vibe.

I call shots like this "Rudy photos." My eye picks them out. I see more of them in certain areas, or in certain moods.

* Sqink Towser says, "If we were to max out the Earth’s surface, like totally encrust it, with one sqink per atom, we’d be talking ten decillion of us." * “Sqinkland didn’t seem that crowded to me,” goes Carol. * “You didn’t understand what you were looking at.” www.kickstarter.com/projects/rud...

I love thins guy Jim Musil. Even if he IS a huge commercial success. Acrylic paintings and prints in all sizes. Possibly uses a photo for the underlying design, but there's a LOT more than that. Lovely "hand" and great palettes.

New SQINKS plug. Carol Cee is scared. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rud...

I love North Beach.

After reading those chapters I can’t wait to continue reading…and it’s so vivid and funny it might make an enjoyable transreal Netflix rom com about grief and aging….but let’s see where the story goes….looking forward to October…

Fanatically revising SQINKS today. Wrote a new scene. Still in PJs at 4PM. Shower time.

Working hard on the edits for the final version of SQINKS. Here's an image of the scene at my home. Shows me drooling over the divine text. If you want, you can read the final version of the first two chapters online. www.rudyrucker.com/sqinks/#sample

I put my SQINKS trailer on YouTube. Kind of funny, and it's less than 3 minutes long. Quoth the distnguished author: "I'm old, and I don't really give a fuck anymore, so I'll just say anything, and there's a lot of that in the book, and it made me laugh." youtu.be/yd7l4ZXGAu0

Say wha? SQINKS. A transreal cyberpunk love story. Get in on the ground floor. Back it now. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rud...

SQINKS. "They tease out a brain’s me-ware, and huff it, and get high, and the me-ware drifts back into the brain. And then they huff it again. A strong brain is good for four or five huffs, and then—pfft. Flat tire." www.kickstarter.com/projects/rud...

Incredibly great song (and video) "Everything is Everything" by Lauryn Hill. Funny line: "Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti" Bears multiply repeated listening, many levels of music and meaning. music.youtube.com/watch?v=i3_d...

SQINKS starlet Carol Cee says please back Rudy's book! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rud...

"Moo speeds along the walls of the Club grill like a tweaker motorcyclist at a county-fair Motor Drome show, circling the room at increasing velocity, and on the third pass, she shatters the grill’s large stained-glass window, and tumbles free into the cool March air, ascending into the sky."

If you're hesitating about backing my SQINKS Kickstarter, dig this, for $1 extra you can get ten ebooks of Rudy novels. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rud...

Nice plug for the Sqinks launch Thank you, Mark Frauenfelder! premium.boingboing.net/p/0e6444f2-6...

"Were you in the Navy?" "No, I was a draft dodger."

SQINKS is life on Kickstarter. Check it out. The (very shor) video is fu. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rud...

Heavy revisions on SQINKS, I'm marking it up page by page, typing in, takes 3 weeks. Somehow I'd forgotten about this part. Had notion that a wonder AI editor app could do it for me. No, still have to dig in deep, connect plot hooks, make it witty, sparkle dialog, intricate emotions, all that.

Through the hoop. Life goes on. Screw the news. The good will win. Plan for today? Write and paint.

T wants (1) No mail-in votes. (2) No voting machines. (3) Full GOP redistricting. (4) He said, "Once I'm in you won't need to vote." Beat him 2026!

I predicted the future, and, sadly, it's coming true. An evil president schemes for his third term. The people rise up. Read the story in JUICY GHOSTS. Could be my best novel. www.rudyrucker.com/juicyghosts/

One more time, "My Shadow."

Gonna paint the SQINKS dog-pile scene of mounded critters in Giants stadium. Get away from screen. Be in backyard "studio." Use Bruegel's FALL OF THE REBEL ANGELS for inspiration. Nice image online from not-all-bad Google. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pi...

<Big scene in SQNKS, condensed to a tweet.> Lively as psychic sleet, or like spacetime gnats, the billion sqink me-wares dance in conga-lines, swirling like noodles in primordial pho, catch as catch can. And then the billion are one. Her name is Yam. Big Yam.

One reason I liked beatniks and SF writers is that many presented selves as alcoholics. My intended career! Beatnik alcoholic transreal SF writer. But many died in their 40s. I bailed into sobriety at age 50. Just in time. Had ~30 good extra years now. www.rudyrucker.com/completestor...

Sqink move. Stimulate all your brain cells, causing a terminal and highly ecstatic seizure, which the sqink can savor at second hand. “Ah,” went Kanga, expelling the smoke from the flaccid membranes that had once been a great writer’s brain. “What a rush.”

The SQINKS in my novel symbolize AI apps. No hope of getting rid of them. Our task: stave off doom world of mirthless, officious, boredom. Prevail as irreverent, crufty, artists. (Photo by Barb Ash).
