This life is madness and I'm doing my best to navigate thru it with the best intentions. Samurai film lover, learning to read, and cats.
This is what I'll be listening to on repeat today. Happy Halloween everyone. 🎃

My local bookshop just got a huge collection of Longarm novels! I picked up a few for research into smutty westerns.

Had two peers come up to me after class and ask what I am currently writing, and if they can read it when it is done.

Felt really good, ngl.

It's a novella and it's only half done.

In the same vein, if they cannot be bothered to write it why should I bother to read it?

AI has no place in art.
If the author doesn't care if it's heart gets blended or not i can't pretend to care what it's singing about

Some days I listen to White Cedar by @themountaingoats.bsky.social, and I cannot get over how it makes me feel inspired and alive.

Can I ask what the song means?

"I'll be reborn someday someday, if I wait long enough..." SNARE! SNARE!

And it feels like it's happening in slow motion.
He’s here to turn our friends into enemies and our enemies into our masters. He’s here to divide us and send us to the poorhouse. He’s a pilot crashing the plane on purpose while half the passengers cheer because they believe he’ll pull up at the last minute and put them all in first class.

Do you think they would have the gall to change their name to the Red Hot Clam Cakes?
The red hot chili peppers should change it up and start writing all their songs about rhode island

Fucking right it does. We need to focus on each other and care for the people next door to us.

There is good in this world.
Cringe I know. I feel an obligation to post cringe. The world desperately needs more of it

I'm just a regular dude who loves alt rock.

Is it too much to ask for @eve6 to cover "Up The Wolves" by @themountaingoats.bsky.social

Remember you are not powerless. We all have our part to play in the resistance. Call your representatives and ask them if they like alternative rock

I'm hoping to set a new record for 2025 for myself in terms of reading. Shooting for 36 books. Horror, fantasy, and nonfiction.

Finish my novella.
Write my short story and submit it.
Work and write my big idea.

I hope 2025 is good to you all.

Michael Shea is an incredible author of weird fiction. Not enough people are talking about his work.

Just finished his short story Salome.

I had an idea for a @themountaingoats.bsky.social album. They pick their favorite fictional character and can't use the obvious descriptors.

Ex: batman. No bats. Dark knight etc.
Ex: hannibal lector. No Chianti, no fava beans. Etc
Ex: john kimble. No One armed man. No Innocent. No Doctor. Etc.

My goal is to read more and write more in 2024.

24 books in a year.

And a first draft of my Horror novel.

So far we got 3 books and 4000 words.

Shading is hard but drawing is fun to quiet the idiotic parts of my brain.
