So excited to have this story out in the world!!

And the extra cool thing is I have two stories out in the world already that are connected to the novella in @bourbonpenn.bsky.social and F(r)iction

Links to the stories and how to pre-order the novella are in my bio and here: linktr.ee/crsutton 👻🎥 👀🪽

I’m not in the desert anymore, so that’s a lie, but the rest of the video is totally true.

I have a novella coming out in February called Krackle’s Last Movie, which is being published by Split/Lip Press! @splitlippress.com

Missed this. There is only one compliment left to give her work - she’s 87. She has maybe the greatest formal mastery in modern theatre, but she retains the playful daring of an 18 year old. It’s what every single one of us wants. And Christ what a lovely person.

My problems with Disney at a corporate level are *many*, but this? This I will applaud. Sic 'em. Let the ballista of Disney lawyers absolutely shred the paper shields of GenAI companies.

Not a novel but long short story in which I ripped off The X Files, Sphere AND Event Horizon all in one swoop because I was obsessed with them at the time. It won me my first writing award in middle school 😂

Umm. I can’t believe my favorite and the most honest story I’ve ever written gets to be on this podcast. And I maybe started to tear up listening to the introduction. 🥹

Helpful thread of NEA resources for all of us who have had grant funding revoked.

Anyone who says there is no point to protesting in big and small ways is not paying attention or is performative in bad faith. This shit works. It's not perfect and there's still going to be plenty of collateral damage but it works and every victory weakens them on the road to the midterms.

Im spending 20-ish days in Chattanooga on an artists residency. What are your reqs, friends?

I think it was here on bluesky where I learned that the "decline" in birthrates is mostly (by a LARGE margin) due to teenagers not having as many kids.
