Koontz: golly, what did happen to JK Rowling?
Barker: well, ol JK just doesn't come around much anymore
Barker: now she lives alone in her Scottish castle
Barker: high up on miserable mountain

me: making mushroom risotto

my brain: singing "mushroom risotto" to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman"

My top five podcasts according to Poclet Casts: Midnight Burger, Party of One, My Brother My Brother and Me, Hwat?! Weekly, Spycast

My top podcasts of the year! I replayed all of Midnight Burger before the new season. I have to assume Pocket Casts filters daily podcasts out of these lists, otherwise Pride Daily would be on there. lists.pocketcasts.com/8348e111-6e5... #PocketCasts #playback2025

You tuned in to 137 podcasts and 2171 episodes including Interstitial Investigations, Hemophobia and Better Offline

So I listened to 137 different podcasts and 2,171 episodes in 2025 (so far) pca.st #PocketCasts #playback2025

Caught in the Remix by Rat Wave Game House A tarot powered night club escape, set to music.

"Kayla do you have any horror games?"
"That depends, do you like clubbing?"
"No I don't like clubbing"
"Great, I got some horror just for you"

We completed our first run of Eat The Reich, aka the convoluted story of how a racy little Italian speedster got from a fancy garage, to halfway up the Eiffel Tower, to lodged in the ceiling of the gondola of Hitler's tasteless zeppelin all in one night

Finally got my Wrapped for Creators by logging in on the big computer. It really feels like a phone task, but clearly I need to recalibrate and recategorise this as one of those Big Monitor jobs

Powered by the Apocalypse (ish) but you only get to use each of your Moves ONCE, as the threads of fate tighten and you run out of options. Sounds intriguing, and look at that art!

You should be allowed to start your holiday whenever you run out of work. It feels wrong to start new tasks at this point

I suppose being uncategorisable is a typically Foggy Outline thing

Y'all we are 33 backers and $1600 away from our goal. Funding our show about ghostbusting queers with religious trauma with 666 backers is SO DOABLE.

Please help us get there. For satan. For the gays. For punk rock. 👻🎸

I had no idea you were on bloosk! Thanks for finding the series, really happy to hear you're enjoying it!

Really enjoying this series of The Silt Verses RPG, featuring two actors from the show and a custom scenario! Be sure to check it out 👁️

for what it's worth, up until now, tumblr has been SLAUGHTERING every other social media platform. there's a respectable showing from bluesky but goddamn, the few people left on tumblr want original art and are willing to put their money where their mouth is

It's Talkback Tuesday! Also our final episode of 2025. Plenty of time to catch up on our Silt Verses RPG season, or our Apocalypse World 2e season, or any of the Monster of the Week seasons you've missed, before we come back in the new year

AVOID THE MOVIE, DO THIS INSTEAD

One hand up might be all it takes when everyone involved already wants it to be a yes 😅

Next assignment (It Feeds Backstage)

We're singing the praises of The Silt Verses RPG (and Carved from Brindlewood generally) and wondering who we have to sacrifice to tell more stories with these characters (please tell me if you want that to happen!) pca.st/episode/dd23...

Evergreen holiday advice!
