Yeah, that Bjork vid hit me at a very particular point in my life. (As far as my favorites, I think the Romanek one is my favorite. Sucker for good light work.

Nothing like waking up to pee, coming back to bed, sitting for ten dang seconds because you're getting old and your hip hurts, and St. Winkus Aloysius of Buttzville takes up an entire quadrant of a king-sized bed. The best... dog. 😬

I spent several hours today doing book layout so it looks right to me. I don't think I'm gonna let someone else ruin it. I think I decided today I'm gonna self-pub this one, too. Maybe with a little more fanfare than the last. confessions was a trial run to see the interface. This one's for reals.

Trump can say he'll distance himself from Project 2025 as much as he wants, but in his last term he appointed every faithful FedSoc judge he could get his hands on, and that's basically the entire game.

My favorite part about America is that I got parts for a 20-year old ATV this morning by just walking in and asking if they had them, but we spent an afternoon on Wednesday driving all over the county looking for COVID tests.

As true now as it was in 2016. Truer, indeed. This trans bitch is barely holding onto reality right now. For the love of fucking god, don't pull the self-righteous vapor argument about "electability." I don't like him either, but an ass-pull about-face candidate six months out will fucking doom us.

Under today’s immunity decision, Biden could order AG Garland to immediately prosecute Thomas and Alito for corruption and insurrection. (Official act). If Garland refuses, Biden can fire him and replace him with someone who will. (Official act) I would suggest Elie Mystal.

Right in their faces, everywhere they go, like a firehose hooked to a sewer main. So yeah, those "not terminally online" ARE gonna care, because it's another news cycle of the same reinforcing bullshit. Stop saying it "doesn't matter." It does. All of it does.

All that vile shit that those fuckers believe? It goes out via offline channels, too. Rivers of TV, radio, newspaper, church, and McDonald's breakfast meetups. That shitgibbon didn't get elected the 1st time by online crazies. He got elected by people who have had every other media spewed at them.

"People who aren't terminally online" are Trump's bread and butter. Just so we're clear. That's not the own you think it is. Those people pride themselves on their extremely narrow media consumption and absolute abhorrence of the entire world at large, not just the part of it that's online.

The corollary: no one "knows" where their ideas come from. It's a unique combo of personality and things you have read. Your brain just slaps it together. The only thing that separates writers and non-writers (or "aspiring" writers) is that, get this, writers *write things down*.

Anyone can write. Anyone. That thing you're thinking right now? Write it down. You're writing. Keep doing that and one day you'll have a poem, story, novel, screenplay. Format later. Just getting it out of your head is the biggest part. You have ideas. Just write them down. This is writing.

It’s a goddamn shame that short speculative fiction is at its creative peak now, when its markets are in economic shambles. I wish 1920s-80s levels of SFF money were available now to finance beautiful and gay and provocative genre fic, instead of during the libertarian-punches-his-way-to-Mars era.

Dear folks new to Bluesky: Please do give some consideration to how your first communications with others here will come across. Tromping into a thread in an openly antagonistic manner is not the way to go on a site with an ethos of "Don't Engage, Just Block" to people being jerks. Just FYI. Thanks.

Three pieces in a row in my new book use algorithmic code: a C++ program, an Enigma code (yes I'm that kind of geek), and a sonnet. If you think any of these are out of place or misinterpreted as poetry GTFO. They are functionally identical.
