Hey cat lovers! Just wanted to remind you that my story "The Mourners" is going to be published on the online magazine Twenty-Two Twenty-Eight on January 30th. It's a work of magical realism that quietly explores themes of grief and ritual.

And it's about cats!

I normally only post to promote my writing but I watched this and I was floored by how insightful this is. I'll admit, 8 years ago I was one of the people saying "aw, come on, it wasn't THAT bad, let's not ruin this guy over it."

I strongly recommend watching.

Merry Christmas!

It's very important to be conscious of your mental health this time of year.

My short story "Until I'm Well" on FooFaRaw Press Magazine. It's about somebody having a very bad mental health day.

Hey Fans!!!

Where you spend your money on porn matters. Given that ManyVids is trying to "save sex workers" by forcing an unwanted "exit plan" upon us, it would mean a lot to all of us if you purchased our content from other clip sites/fan sites/websites!!!

Hi Ms Vore! I honestly have no idea how this type of thing works so I guess this is how I'll shoot my shot:
I'm a writer, of both vanilla fiction and smut. One of my smutty ones is going to be published in a collection of erotic humor called Eggplant Emoji.

Question President Trump! If Jeffrey Epstein's mother had taken Tylenol when she was pregnant, would you still be on his client list?

We don’t want to hear about the Bermuda Triangle. We don’t want to read the classified documents about Amelia Earhart. We don’t give a damn about who stopped the UN escalator. We know acetaminophen doesn’t cause autism. We also know that Tmurp needs to #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
