Seems kind of backwards that Korn is from California and Slipknot is from Iowa. #metal

youtu.be/V_lcNt_2kw4?... Hey, they asked me what makes a good fight scene! (I was having an absolutely poopy ass hair day)

The Boys and Daredevil: Born Again are somehow the best pop cultural commentaries on the second Trump administration, which is less a matter of "superhero metaphors allow for sophisticated social commentary" and more a matter of "reality is now full of cartoonish supervillains."

Apologies for the flagrant commerce, but as I'm being forced into early retirement due to ill health I'm going to be selling a few things. RPGs and books mainly, along with perhaps a ukulele or two, beginning with a couple of quite rare paperbacks by M.A.R. Barker. Unlike the first two Tékumel […]

While other people were baking sourdough bread, getting into metal was my pandemic project. I saw studies that say music listening taste stagnates as people age, and doesn’t evolve much after age 31, and decided I wasn’t gonna let that happen to me. I picked metal because it wasn’t a type of […]

Third post for Sapphic Visibility Day. I am proud of my profiles of Jessica Amanda Salmonson (#3) and Janrae Frank (#6) for New Edge Sword & Sorcery @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social These matter to me as much as my fiction in the mag: I love to shine a light on the lesbian past in Sword & Sorcery.

After finishing up Loudwire’s Top 50 two weeks ago, I’ve now heard every album on Rolling Stone’s list of The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of all time. No massive shifts in taste (I think I’m a doom guy), but I’ve gotten a better grounding of different subgenres and bands. I still really like the […]

What?? #sapphicvisibilityday ??? Why not check out some sword & sorcery about a beautiful princess who's constantly getting into demon trouble and her exhausted butch bodyguard/secret girlfriend who always has to save her ass? swordsandsorcerymagazine.com/tag/luana-sa...

COMING SOON What mysteries does the Eye of Al-Khapish hold? Who may tolerate its eldritch power? Who shall become... Merynthia's Master?

Just want to say I love the Robert E Howard and the Sword & Sorcery fanbase. 🎶I am he. As you are he. As you are me. And we are all together.🎶

A cute thing I see a lot online is posters intending to throw up the horns 🤘 but mistakenly choosing the American Sign Language for “I love you” 🤟 instead. Always makes me smile. While we’re at it, have a bonus “Live long and prosper.” 🖖 #metal

This sign raises many questions, which probably should be answered by the sign but aren't

Trying to get a solid grounding in a genre I’ve only really started listening to since the start of the pandemic, I’ve recently moved from mixed metal playlists and net radio stations to full albums. Finally finished listening to everything listed in Loudwire’s The 50 Best Metal Albums of All […]

Goth (darkwave/synthpop) song of the day. My last pick was depressing and it’s finally Friday so let’s flip the lever all the way over to “horny.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzWIUlDZQrY #gothic #darkwave #hallows

After issue 2 gained popularity, they contacted me asking if I would be interested in a collaboration and I asked for a million dollars for literature. They laughed politely and told me that they wouldn't sue me. We publish the boundaries of cease & desist!

To answer the most common question--yes, they are very aware and monitor the situation closely. A literary magazine of short fiction and poems that bleeds money is one of the 87 entities which Daddy Taco chooses to follow alongside celebrities, NFL players, and its global partners

Goth(-industrial) song of the day. This original version is nice, but if you want more *danceable* self-loathing, the Grendel remix is quite good. Kind of fun to see a quality recent release by genre stalwarts Cleopatra Records. They were a pretty reliable source throughout the 90s […]

My first Recommended Story in Locus, and one of the first Churchlands stories I wrote: '"Your problem," Liste said as they tugged off a robber’s putrefying footwear, "is you still think this is beneath you. Which means at some level you think I’m beneath you."'

I am v lucky to have worked with amazing artists: @thoughtographic.bsky.social who did my very first illustrated work in New Edge Sword & Sorcery, @blastedcat0w0.bsky.social who did my very first commission (Zeynep and Kawtar) and @gorangligovic.bsky.social who did my very first fan art (also Z&K)
