Deleted my Substack earlier in the year out of concern for the choices being made on that platform. Moved everything over to Patreon which has been fine. Still no idea how to effectively promote it! Like all writers, wouldn’t mind more readers.

As Stoppard wrote, and as I contemplate often: “I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead.”

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

Busta Rhymes currently dancing in the middle of 34th street with Ninja Turtles. America!!!!
The Thanksgiving parade is the highest form of American art. Driven by capitalism but entirely earnest, bizarre in ways you can never expect, absolutely packed with Broadway stars freezing their asses off. There is really nothing we do better than
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has always been a surreal journey through its own twisted reality.

This Machine Keeps the Ghost is for those struggling with lonely online spaces, being former church kids, and anxiety about our digital future. It is available on the big bad buy everything site but you can make me feel crippling gratitude by ordering from an indie bookstore!

Just in time for the renewal announcement, I wrote about Alien: Earth’s interestingly imperfect first season, of fresh biological horrors and careless creators. It has also exposed a need for a better understanding of how art reaches us.

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
