When you really want to get into a manga because reasons, but the art is SO bad its like being stabbed in the eyes repeatedly. I swear this artist does not know the anatomical differences between teenagers, eight year-olds, and toddlers -- and somehow they expect me to find it cute. It's not.

If you think your handwriting is bad, at least no one's mistaken it for a map of Italy yet.

All I noticed was the extremely tight hot pants abruptly crossing my screen. Was there supposed to be something else? *confused*

I absolutely positively had nothing to do with that act of arson over there.

My glass nib quill is missing and I am SUFFERING.

My Wordpress post has been updated. And yes, I would be interested in a podcast episode with your thoughts on AoS' content!

Thank you! All of my Milo/Age of Scorpius essays on my site have Creative Commons licenses on them, so if you wish to reference or use them for your podcasts, go right ahead.

May I cite this skeet in screenshots on my blog post?

Someone from Brazil I know tried to order and the shipping charge was $85, which is way more expensive than it should be.

So, it came from Colorado ... who's doing the packing if Milo is still allegedly in Finland and his family is in Kansas? Thanks for answering!

Just When I Thought I Was Out, Milo Pulls Me Back In I’d ask what the fresh hell is all this but that’s an exercise in futility #milowinter #ageofscorpius Current website screenshot Someone brought this up to me, and I just wanted to address it quick…

If you get a physical copy, could you take a photo of where the package was mailed from? Because I have questions, not the least of which is the shipping charge. If you're wondering what I mean, here you go (no paywall). durocsdeskdrawer.ink/2026/01/24/j...

*takes notes* There is no such thing as too much butter, and never enough roast chicken for Napoleon Bonaparte.

Unpopular opinion: America has *never* not been a fascist nation. Whether or not you felt it depended upon your gender, skin color, sexuality, religion, class, and national origin. To pretend otherwise is ahistorical.

Can America still do better? Better to ask: who benefits if not?

Washington: a centralizing nationalist, not a civil-liberties maximalist, who was willing to deploy armed force against civilians (Whiskey Rebellion, 1794) to enforce federal law. And personally invested in property order—including enslaved human property—and deeply hostile to popular disorder.

Louis-Alexandre Berthier was a wizard. This is the only historically correct answer. Fight me.

Neurotypical: "Oh my god, he's so hot."

Autistic: "I really like his bone structure. It’s so symmetrical. I wonder what his skull looks like under x-ray?”

THOMAS-ALEXANDRE DUMAS WAS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

I will not hear any arguments otherwise.

Readers Don’t Understand Metaphors Anymore … OR, Maybe You Just SUCK at Your Job

The Social Contract Between Author and Reader and the Sin of Literary Essentialism #writing #books #literacy Yes, yes it can always get more fucked up I've said it before -- I don't like commenting on other authors'…

Maybe it's an autistic thing, but I don't notice themes, morals, or characterization first. Instead, I notice sentence structure. Does the sentence feel spiky, interesting, asymmetrical, the word choices deliberate? If it's not, my eyes just slide right off, my brain reads the sentence as "boring."

A closeup of the previously described sandwich. You can see a little of each of the aforementioned ingredients.

Sandwich tonight: Peanut butter and strawberry jam and apricot preserves and blueberries and honey and dismembered Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. I don't want to say I'm currently experiencing a sugar rush, but my walls are transparent and I can see through time.

I am now off work for the next three days. Doctor’s orders.

Yes, I work nights and weekends. It’s the only rational schedule.

I also write between 0130 and 0400 while noshing on valerian root, Zzzquil, melatonin, and ashwaganda.

I do not recommend that writing routine.
