Popping onto bluesky for some shameless self-promotion: my latest article “To Fathom Hell or Soar Angelic” is now available in Theory & Event!! Abstract is below and I’d be delighted to share the PDF with those interested if you don’t have access!

The world is on fire, but at least we have the remaster of Oblivion and it looks fucking spectacular. I’ll be in Cyrodiil for the next few days if you need me.

The server at the Korean chipotle asked how spicy I wanted everything and rose to the challenge when I said as spicy as legally possible

One reason the Trump administration is targeting pro-Palestinian protestors with revocation of temporary status and deportation is because they understand that their gutless opposition will avoid sticking up for these people at all costs

Slightly nettled by United inexplicably canceling my beautiful direct WPSA flight and now I have to get up two hours earlier and connect through O’Hare like an idiot.

But very excited to see all my theory homies next week! If you wanna hang out at some point, slide into the DMs

On day one of the holiday drive back to Michigan and saw not one, not two, but five people throw banana peels out of their windows on the highway. Mario Kart bullshit

Look, I'm as surprised as the rest of y'all--but, to be fair, "universal healthcare" does, in fact, mean for *everyone,* including manosphere mind-poisoned gymbros. And class solidarity does, in fact, mean solidarity with people who might have bad/incomplete ideologies.

The saddest part of traveling home the day after Thanksgiving is no leftovers. Instead I’m just stranded in the airport eating a sad breakfast sandwich like an idiot, waiting for a plane that may or may not ever arrive from Milwaukee.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is less than 5 dollars on steam. If you haven't played the greatest trilogy ever created, now is the time! #MassEffect

Turns out the #Lions can probably win a Thanksgiving game when it’s not a waxing gibbous moon.

Nothing makes me happier to have pre-check than flying right before Thanksgiving. Getting through TSA in Philly in 5 minutes instead of 45. Just a scintillating taste of what it feels like to be landed gentry.
