Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

The Disney Tron ride *is* fun, but short and often has a long line Maybe watch this movie while waiting?

A decent amount of @rockmarooned.bsky.social's Tron: Ares review is spent wondering why the film world keeps trying to make Jared Leto happen www.avclub.com/tron-ares-re...

People have no idea how many classic novels were originally serialized (or how much of an impact Charles Dickens had on changing publishing).

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Today: Alien: Rogue Incursion re-begins! Saw this on Indie Day and wanted to give it a full stream. Stream in 30.

New this week from the MIT Press. Congratulations authors! 📚👇

My brain has jettisoned everything it once knew about Uglies out of self-defense. All I remember now is how fun this review was to write

Hey folks! Gonna be on @wgnradio.bsky.social shortly chatting about what to stream this week! Listen live here: wgnradio.com/on-air/

The party of States' Rights strikes again

Working away on this. Now it's time to make the other part of the print. #Castlevania

If you just watched Last Week Tonight's segment on how presidential libraries are propaganda and thought "but what if this was an action-adventure comedy for kids?" boy have I got the book for you.

Long live Wizard Frog! 🐸🪄 We should at least be having fun during the downfall of democracy

Sometimes I read ridiculous, absurd novels to completely disconnect from reality. I was reminded by fb about this one. I need to revisit this series because it's bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Very same

Just a spectacular example of Angry Dan in action.

Finished watching House of Frankenstein 1997, now with the full broadcast version and the original commercials. Yep, still Classic NBC GOLD right here, kids. Think Darkstalkers as a 90s LA cop show and there you go. The commercials/promos added more to the experience. Give it a ride.

'The Execution of Thjazi Fang' First image of the new campaign, guess it had to be the event that starts it all. Could have been so many other scenes but I'm so busy these days I kinda wanted an 'easy' one. :D #criticalrolefanart #criticalrolespoilers

Pretty dang cool. Wish they had done Oktoberfest this hard when I lived there

If you had told me that Eggers' Nosferatu was actually Bloodborne: The Movie, I would have watched it much earlier

Reality is making fiction harder and harder to write. Anyway, check out my latest "true crime" book (apparently?!) "Prison of Bones" www.amazon.com/KNUCKLEBONES...

Stay the course

Back at my bullshit with Borderlands 4 twitch.tv/rod_johnston

Still looking for work! Reposts are appreciated (Also my website is temporarily down)

Anyone who posts a book selfie or pet pic with Good Old-Fashioned Korean Spirit gets a drawing of an antifascist barnyard animal. Why? I dunno, I did something similar for Banned Book Club and filks were into it. First up is @historycomics.bsky.social with a BAAnned Book Sheep for #BannedBooksWeek

Good morning, let's work on a #Godzilla commission on stream today! Come join me at www.twitch.tv/clockfoxxed #comics #LiveOnTwitch

We're three entries in to the DCU, and if James Gunn wants to toss discussions of Nazis, war in the Middle East, and MRAs into his work... Well, he needs to start actually saying something about them: comicbookclublive.com/2025/10/03/j...

Je. Sus. Christ. Legacy media is a lost cause. Torch it and start over.

I hope I don't get on y'all's nerves, but since Ghost doesn't have the same social-connection features as Substack, I'm going to be plugging my newsletter on here more. If you could subscribe--free or paid--I'd really appreciate it.

Did you guys know I almost ruined The Conjuring movies from the start? TLDR we were on set in the basement during a crowded scene change. I spun around a little too quickly and very nearly elbowed Vera Farmiga in the nose (She's very wee. I'm a tall awkward gangle creature) Anyway enjoy!

I had to sit and listen to one of those local ICE recruitment ads on local TV recently, the one where they offer $50k bonuses to cops to come round up "illegals" in "sanctuary cities," and I wanted to smash the TV right there in the doctor's office.

The most recent bits I heard were: pro-Trump orchard owner Candice Lyall suffering financial harm due to tariffs and ICE rounding up the undocumented laborers she "employed" but blaming "immigrants" And someone whose knowledge of ai amounted to "Googling it" to tout an ai-driven job market... Bye!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post. I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing. Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner. karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Something Gothic this way comes… Submissions are OPEN for The Havisham Steps: Modern Gothic Poetry. We want poems of neon dread, fractured love, haunted minds. Closing date: October 31st #PoetrySubmissions #SubmissionWindow #TheHavishamSteps #ModernGothicPoetry

Dear writers: Write that story. Edit mercilessly. Send that email. Ignore the haters. Stay humble, but be confident. Get paid. Read a lot. Write despite your insecurities. Support others. Accept helpful criticism. Celebrate everything. Don't panic. Never quit. You got this.

1) how many major gaming websites still exist? 2) how many games journalists wrote articles about smaller indie games that no one actually clicked on? 3) why aren't more people tuning into @ezekielthethird.bsky.social on Indie Saturdays, since he just played Consume Me and has played UFO 50?

My review of Hulu's Chad Powers, starring Glen Powell as a disgraced college QB who disguises himself so he can start over again in college:

"That's 400lbs of Grappler in the front seat of a 2016 Scion" is an actual bit of commentary from the car-jitsu championship

I find making #pokemon cards in other languages hard because I'm like...did I spell this right? #PokemonTCG

Who's your favorite Jedi? (Wrong answers only.)

We made you cry, now it's your turn. #JurassicWorld #ChaosTheory

Some #snes carts I've made. #dragonquest #zelda #streetfighter #chronotrigger

🚨 Reminder: we're looking for volunteer Flash & Fiction readers! Apply before October 1 to join our team. buff.ly/8E8JUon

Anyway, "Anne Shirley" is genuinely one of the best anime series this year, an all-time classic. Funny, heartfelt, kind, whimsical, at times crushingly sad but ultimately hopeful. All the best elements of classic storytelling in a new package

You can still cancel, btw

Hi! Did you know that you aren’t pronouncing axolotl correctly? Suppression of indigenous languages by the Spanish is one of the Four Wounds of Colonization. This is a small subversion of colonial power you can use! Axolotl is a Nahuatl word, and it sounds like this:
