Coming this November!

Cerulean Sky is a story about absolution set in an America thatโ€™s been ravaged by a disease that turns people incorporeal.

Itโ€™s my love letter to The Stand!

My cat is having some health issues lately but sheโ€™s still willing to help me write (provided that I am writing about cats [which I am])

The real best use for a Time Machine is to go back and stop whoever owned your house before you from doing that DIY thing thatโ€™s gonna cause you giant headaches in thirty years

A good rule of thumb is just to read anything Alex writes

Seeing a lot more AI-generated or narrated ads on YouTube, and i just gotta say, what a great way to make sure i have the most negative possible association with your product!

You ever donate to an organization one time, and then they spend way more than the original donation on mailers trying to get you to donate again?

3 fantasy leagues: One at work where you can side text w your colleagues about your bossโ€™s awful trade proposals, one with your high school friends with a group chat where no one ever talks about their personal lives, one 14 team dynasty league thatโ€™s so deep you end up streaming Tyler Allgeier

Gray cat on red floor mat, sitting beside a beige string laid out in a heart shape.

I promise you, the only way I manipulated anything in this picture was lifting my hand to get my cat to look up. She placed the string in the heart shape and she placed herself beside it. I can only assume sheโ€™s saying she loves me.

Turning Point USA is a political organization, not a religious one, and the fact that Christians canโ€™t recognize that is why weโ€™re in this situation to begin with.

oh no i'll be at a cognitive disadvantage*, which is preferable to wearing the stupid things and being at a social disadvantage.

*(i don't expect i'll be at a cognitive disadvantage either, considering the mental atrophy people who rely on chatGPT suffer)

But seriously, this is the most challenging story Iโ€™ve written.

TY to @mathildazeller.bsky.social for her thoughtful feedback

it can't be a good thing that so many of us have seen actual videos of people dying. not just the most recent one, but that too. before i left twitter, several accounts got boosted that were just videos of people getting killed. without warning, pasted onto my feed. how can we not get desensitized?

As a culture, it is infinitely better to have a few people making great art than to have everybody making terrible art. The โ€œdemocratization of artโ€ as they like to present it lowers the ceiling for what we as a people can accomplish

Still trying to adjust my expectations. When I was a kid, the promise of future tech made life look so cool, and now all I see is "Tech startup raises $14B to make a robot that cuts your hands off and pets your dog with them."

my favorite music group lately released an album last week that kinda sucks. it happens, and i still love them, but it's also a good reminder for myself. i've written some cool things in the past. i've got some good stuff ahead of me. i've been slumping lately, but i've still got it in me somewhere.

i like that there are a few sports people who have come over to Bluesky. I prefer when my sports updates don't get interrupted by Nazi propaganda and engagement slop.
