Fuck this week. It's been a numb gray slog. I accomplished almost nothing, and if I had, I'd feel like accomplishing things is meaningless.

I did start reading a good new #comic though. #TheDepartmentofTruth. Seek it out. I read it on #globalcomix, a platform I hope lasts. Tell your friends.

When you get ready to publish a short story set "nowish" that you wrote a few years ago and discover you need to update the tech, the politics, and how the characters spend their days for it to read that way.

I started watching #Starfleetacademy 'cause Holly Hunter. I'm fifteen minutes in. No way to judge a show. But I'm not super comfortable with the "It's okay to be fascist if you feel bad about it later" core of the story. That said, interesting to open with acknowledging "Starfleet is fascist".

They look pretty great!

Subtle Punk This is Subtle Punk: Squat of Corporation-free Fiction. An indie-writer/artist brings you DIY audio fiction with time-lapse illustration. Launching with an interwoven batshit crazy Superhero universe...

Ok...I am avoiding FB.

If anyone cares, I posted the 2nd part of my short story "Wounded Rabbit" on the Subtle Punk YouTube channel about 2 weeks ago. Part 3 awaits me attaching music and then it'll be up.

I'll put words on my Substack soon.

I've discovered that most clickbait lists of sci-fi flops are also lists of my favorite sci-fi movies.

Hear me out, kids. In light of the success of K-pop Demon Hunters

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.... the Broadway Musical

Seriously. This should happen.

I'm so very old.

I'm ever so close to releasing a 3 part #audiobook short story thing on YouTube. Brace yourselves.

Oh, social media. I have not missed you.

So, stuff about #indiewriting. It would be cruel to inflict some projects on an agent.

"So, 2 books telling the same story, from different perspectives?

"Not exactly. More two concurrent, interwoven stories"

"With short stories too? Doing what now?"

Women screenwriters/filmmakers.directors! Make this movie! Let's do this!

Perfume is a chemical weapon.

That's a lifelong process. I don't think there's a form of creative work that isn't really about the artist, no matter who it is, figuring out how to do it every time they work.

I don't really understand #discord

I want a #turntable that can flip a record. Or, I'd like one to exist. I want several models to exist. Like its a pretty common thing. They'd probably cost more than I want to spend though.

What would the coverage look like? US government proves itself corrupt to the core for third time today?

If we can learn anything from flat earthers, it might be that you'll never convince people of anything they want to believe in no matter how much science you throw at them.

Why not go independent? Republicans are fascists but Democrats are spineless. We need better.

Reading a musician's substack. Super personal stuff I felt was none of my business. Is art supposed to be the commodification of one's self? Intimate, vulnerable thoughts by subscription? It makes a real experience feel staged. Real pain, melodrama. Is that what anyone wants?

Wrong turn, I think.

Wow #Marvel. Just shoot your own foot right off. You just ruined the charm of the best movie you've done in years AND missed the point of your own ending. Even in the movie, no one wants the #NewAvengers.

Just change it back.

eight leatherbound books all titled "FERNS" volumes 1 through 8

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

Without due process, there's no opportunity to verify if someone is even a citizen or not.

As it turns out, I haven't accomplished that much.

ALL FLEETWOOD MAC SONGS THAT DO NOT FEATURE A STEVIE NICKS LEAD VOCAL ARE NOW TARIFFED AT 250%

Can we please stop voting for people my dog will outlive?

Ya know, I completely forgot about this film. Now I need to track it down. Thanks.

Capitalism is a force of creative stagnation. Old ideas endlessly rehashed. You don't need to participate. Put your work into the world in your own way.
