Cozy urban fantasy novels, agnostic holiness, Pelagian reconstruction, and more big, stupid words. Can't sit right in chairs. (He/him)

Not going to name authors or titles, but it is wild to me how bad some mainstream books from ten years ago actually were. Across the market, the last decade has seen the bar of quality content moved upward by a lot.

Please do not ignore me, my account is restricted. My family and I have not eaten food for 4 days. Can I find someone to donate to my family so that we can buy flour? Please help my family.

This is a bad precedent to set. See, someone like me might come along, run for president, bulldoze the whole thing, use the rubble as seawall reinforcement, and stick a double-wide trailer on that lawn.

Went to KFC tonight for some nuggets, but when I saw that the sauces for them were called things like "Comeback" and "Sticky Chicky" with ZERO explanation, I decided I wasn't that hungry.

I feel like the broad uncritical support of KPop Demon Hunters is a promising sign that we've finally moved away from the Satanic Panic.

I guess seventeen years later, it's a no, and honestly, I'm glad. I can't imagine going back to the Christian market now.

Therapist: Mary, Mother of Wasps is not real, she can't hurt you.

Mary, Mother of Wasps:

Photo of an outdoor statue of the Christian Mary behind plexiglass. Paper wasps have built a nest inside and the statue is engulfed in their honeycomb-like structure, while wasps crawl around inside.

GHOST PARISH is now at 88,000+ words.

Cleaned up a few messy chapters and brought the storyline back around with a part I've been anxious to get to. Sorry for being so vague, it'd be a spoilery part.

Waiting for the next inevitable dodge in the Epstein case, where Trump says, "Fine. Release and investigate the names on the list, but let's be fair about this and release and investigate the names that AREN'T on the list too! It'sonly fair!"

Part of why I hate AI slop websites is because they’re drowning out the true beauty of the internet: single topic webpages from 2003 created by people with hyperfixations.

What Michael Tait did was absolutely wrong, but it's weird how many 50+ white people on Facebook suddenly "always knew there was something different and wrong" about him.

As a non-Catholic who venerates saints, I'm going to start praying to John MacArthur. I know he'd hate that. Moreover, I'll be praying in tongues.

Maybe tinnitus is just our ears trying to fill the silence that now exists in the place where crickets once chirped.

Just a thought on my mind:

Living indigenously.
Living in harmony with the Earth.

Evangelicals will complain about the first as pedantic and as using big important sounding words to get their point across, but only after spending thirty years labeling the second, simpler phrase as "new age."

Instead of naming housing developments after the wildlife it displaces (Pheasant Run, Willow Creek), what if we named new growth, native forests after what we got rid of?

I'd love to stroll through Bulldozed Mansions Forest or Torched Timeshare Glen.

Thanks. I have a decent number of beta readers. I'm just looking for a priest to make sure certain details are right.

Thanks. I've got betas, but my MC is a priest, so I'm trying to find a priest with a love for fantasy to check my details, especially around canon law.

People in my social media gardening groups discovering that Peppers and Tomatoes are both nightshades: "That's a weird tomato! Did it hybridize with a jalapeno?"

Gardeners of 20 years: "That's not how any of this works!"

Do I have any followers who are or who know progressive-leaning Catholic priests who love urban fantasy? I'm looking for a beta reader with a small stipend. Extra points if you're they're a canonist.

A friend just posted that she's taking her kids to Heresy Park and I got really excited, but then she said she meant to type Hershey Park and I don't think the world will ever be a happy place again.
