The title "Binding Chaos" suggests that Heather Marsh has some ideas on what to do about it. I recommend promoting that content instead.

Writing is wild because you can write your way into understanding what Jung meant by that but you can't put that in your work because that would be obnoxious.

Bring back omniscient third person. You're a god, act like it.

in my society goats would not be associated with the devil, but instead considered angels, for providing cheese that tastes like that

bout to lose that young white male demographic they were so proud of winning over.

Welp I guess I can either keeping punishing myself for not being able to write short stories, or get on with the novel that feels—rightly or wrongly—writeable. #writing #wrongwriting #badwriting

see me in my orifice

this is so brave

Are there short story writers who are maximalists?

Instead of "smart cities" and "network states," consider analog villages and 90s towns.

It matters what you envision the future to be. Someone besides Star Trek needs to bring something besides surveillance, torture, and bigotry to the collective imagination. Be more interesting.

Yellowjackets girlies wanting to stay in the woods for non-sensical reasons got me imagining a much better show where they're split between living the socialist, anti-consumer ideals they talked about on social media vs going back to social media. #yellowjackets

What I want #grimdark to be: Unfathomable cosmic horrors ⛧ fleshless monsters 𓃵 decrepit castles covered in grime and enchanted blood ⸸ realms of the insane undead ⛧ a haruspex or two

What grimdark seems to actually be: Someone does something disgusting with a sword at least twice

I've been a much happier reader since I stopped reading fiction published after 1980.

I’m heading back into the Budget Committee to expose Republicans as they betray poor and working American families.

They’re stealing your benefits to pay for their Trump Tax Scam 2.0 — a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to the ultra-rich.

We’re fighting to stop them.

Agreed. What's the plan?

Red, White, and Blueland? Alright, let's create a lore for this new lawless utopia. Time for collective consciousness. Let's manifest a genderless wonderland where everyone has their own puppygirl polycule and we resurrect silphium with blood sacrifices and orgiastic rituals. #50501 #EndOligarchy
