Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

Listen: it’s a trap, and every time you choose not to mask when you easily well could, you walk right into it—dragging those already more precarious (POC, LGBTQ, disabled, etc) with you.

Folks, I am BEYOND excited to be one of the panelists on the "Avoiding Cure Narratives and Other Harmful Disability Tropes" panel at Storycrafting Sessions: Disability in Writing online event of @weeknightwriters.bsky.social and to be in such phenomenal company! weeknightwriters.com/2026/04/18/s...

starting to suspect that I do not actually know what euclidean means

Gonna write a new version of HPL's At the Mountains of Madness titled Hey, Daddy, I'm A Penguin.

Hello. I just found out that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”, and now I need you lot to know that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”. youtu.be/voqCQSDAcn8

Also NEWS! I am teaching an updated and improved, also I would say cyclopean and batrachian, perhaps cthonic, version of my MODERN COSMIC HORROR WRITING class for @carlbrandon.bsky.social ! May 16-17! This is a deep dive with text analysis, examples, a reading/resource list, and exercises!

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Jonathan the Tortoise, who did NOT die

weird and difficult to put together an academic bio when most of your achievements are not in academia. I feel like without them it looks like i was born yesterday and wandered in off the street to give a presentation, but including them is like. this award was for acting. does this have bearing.

A very special call: Over our 20 (!) years we’ve published stories from all the continents of the world, except Antarctica. We want to remedy that. We’re looking for stories between 2000–6000 words from writers who are in, have recently been to, or have plans to visit Antarctica in the near future.

really excellent thread, worth a full read

LOVED this story, so dreamy and eerie, and - I'm so happy to see the word 'heartfelt' here because I keep describing this story as heartfelt to others! What a narrator too, I want to give them a hug so badly. Honored to get to give them a voice 💕

where I blog from

🎉 Happy National Voice Over Day!! 🎊 To those just getting started, the folks working on their craft every day, and the VA's already on their way - let's celebrate!! 🎙 Cheers to you!! 😊 #voiceover #voiceacting #keepgoing

I’ve spent a lifetime studying this question and the answer is no.

people, left or right, who make fake but believable news headlines are my enemy. Like shit is fucking bad enough can you not add more misinformation dirt to the cloudy opaque stream of bullshit that is the internet

Additionally, we're looking for a Trinidadian woman narrator to narrate a story we've got on the conveyor belt. If you're interested, please see our narrator guidelines here!

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

I combined all of my comedy shows onto one feed and honestly I don’t know if it was a good idea or not, but now I’m stuck with it. If anyone is looking for: Two Flat Earthers Kidnap a Freemason Christmas Diner or The One Stars …they can all be found on our new consolidated feed called STITCHES.

Please help Savannah continue to support the family of Dr. Linda Davis, the beloved teacher who was killed during an ICE high speed chase. Here is the official GoFundMe page for her family ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/i... #savannahindivisible #savannahga #community #iceout #LindaDavis

On this day in 2018, Central's disinformation film about Area X, Annihilation, was released in theaters in the US. The film included several subliminal cues / hypnotic suggestions intended to blunt investigations by non governmental agencies, while testing psych tech developed by the Southern Reach

Justice for Dr. Linda Davis. ICE must be held accountable for the deadly chain of events and the cruel aftermath. Her memory lives on in every life she touched.

in case y’all didn’t know, law enforcement in chatham county are explicitly not allowed to do high speed chases. ICE decided they were above that. the man they were chasing, oscar vasquez lopez, is the one being charged with first degree homicide for this. www.wtoc.com/2026/02/16/s...

learning about christian philosophy as someone who was not raised christian is fucking wild. i thought i knew the basic deal with the concept of sin and it turns out i super super do not

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, but with strange aeons that which is not dead can eternal lie.

The Christmas Diner Finale just dropped!! The reception for this series has been unbelievable. Huge thanks to everyone who listened, to all the shows who were kind enough to share our pilot and to this awesome cast for bringing the story to life! Marathon the entire six episode series today!!🎄

Oh.

‘dandiacal’ is a very good word and a good way to describe beerbohm’s a defence of cosmetics. indeed both dandy and maniacal… and funny that we’re still satirizing the same things 100+ years later

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Fun fact that I will never not find hysterical: you can take a Segway tour through the cemetery where my grandfather is buried! www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionPr...

EXTREMELY relevant to my interests

The really scary part is actually when they asked me to prove, after almost seven years living in Massachusetts, that I know how to pronounce the place names

EXTREMELY KIND OF YOU TO SAY THANK YOU MR STUART

celebrated thanksgiving this year by going over to a friend’s house to participate in a reading of ‘hamlet as performed by the gemstones family from the righteous gemstones’ but the non-southerners in the cast had a bit of trouble hanging onto the accents
