Just found out that apparently the awesome #horror anthology I’m in — Hardcore Horror — on Earth Island Books has broken into the top 100 horror anthologies on Amazon and, even better (and more niche), we’re at number 7 in “Cosmic and Eldrich Horror” amzn.eu/d/f5chJS2

259. WHY IS THERE SOMETHING RATHER THAN NOTHING? - My Social Media Avoidance Project — Philosophy UNLEASHED “Why is there something rather than nothing?” Because the desire to make something can make us redefine the original “nothing” and see new potential in it we were previously blind to. Social Media Av...

This week’s #Philosophy Unleashed looks at #creativity, and why there is something rather than nothing: www.philosophyunleashed.com/theblog/259-...

258. MAKING A COMPLAINT - What Complaining Tells Us About Those We Complain To — Philosophy UNLEASHED Complaints are important in any honest endeavour.

257. WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS YOU WHO THEY ARE - Believe Them — Philosophy UNLEASHED This week all I have for you is a poem I wrote about Nigel Farage

I hope the people shocked about what Nigel Farage said at school haven’t been listening to what he’s been saying openly and repeatedly for his entire political career…

Fuck Labour and any of my wrong-headed “tone of our oppression” arguments I made in the past that might have enabled them. This tone is dark as any right-wing alternative. This is disgusting.

There’s too much of everything now isn’t there?
