A reminder that my debut werewolf novel "AWOO: The Association of Werewolves and Oppressed Otherlings" may be behind the paywall, but Chapter 1 will always be free so you can get a taste of the mad weirdness of the thing. Check it out here: open.substack.com/pub/writesin...

Rhett and Link are very weird people. I dig their vibe.

Maybe learning 6 martial arts at once is a bit much. And yet, I persist.

I honestly have no idea what is happening in American politics right now. And I think that’s by design. Look up “nonlinear warfare” by Adam Curtis. There’s some of that about, methinks.

I am mad excited about this. The book is incredible.

A Star Trek question for you, regarding "Parallels," the 7th season episode where Worf pings around different quantum realities.

A Star Trek question for you. In the 7th season episode, Parallels, Worf is pinging around different realities due to a quantum fissure. Essentially, he’s bouncing into different versions of himse...

Uh hey, Brits? What is happening with Starmer’s Labour Party and why does it seem to be governing like worse Tories right now?

How is your Sunday going? We’ve got beautiful weather, so I hopped on the Vespa to ride to aikido, had a great practice, learned a lot, rewarded myself with a plunge into the hot tub to relax my sore muscles, and now I’m just chilling. Might take the Vespa for a ride again a little bit later.

I’m playing my long-term game of Masks of Nyarlathotep (an epic Call of Cthulhu campaign) and my character (for…reasons) is slowly turning into a ghoul. I have just been granted the following rations to assist with my…particular cravings.

I think I like Pluribus on Apple TV, but good GOD is there a lot of product placement.

Hatred of Netanyahu and criticism of the Gaza genocide is not anti-Semitic. Calling for the destruction of Israel, and targeting Jews for our perceived (not actual) support of the genocide in Gaza, IS antisemitic. A message from your friendly neighborhood Jew who hates Netanyahu and genocide.
Right wing fascists would have us believe that hatred of Netanyahu and his government is antisemitic. It isn't, any more than hatred of Trump and his catch-farts is hatred of all Americans. Evil should be called out wherever it appears.

So this channel is frustrating. Don't watch this video. It's got a clickbait title, and it's a fictional story about a woman who can't process emotions. There are no facts about consciousness, and the video uses skeevy psychological manipulation to keep people watching.

My other most woke opinion is that it's actually GOOD to change your mind when given new information that disproves something you previously believed. I know, shocking.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

My most woke opinion is that the working class must (and will) unite, organize, and overthrow global capitalism and replace it with a cooperative and just society of radical worker democracy. Join us! www.iww.org.

It is a little weird that I can watch people get literally melted to death by eldritch horrors, but if you kill a dog or a cat or another cute critter, that always hits me like a ton of bricks. I'm the guy who checks "did the dog die" before I watch something.

Writing prompt:

"There's no business like crow business."

Write something and DM me with it. If I like it enough, I might publish it on Write Sinister. No more than 1,000 words, please. No deadline. Nothing formal. Just fun.

When I lived in Portland around Chanukah time, I would sing….

I had a Portland dreidel
I made it out of rain
And when it’s dry and ready
It’ll be June.

I second @mikeflanaganfilm.com although he gets a bit of a smack for killing a dog in a horrifically sad way in Midnight Mass, which made me not finish that show. Still, Usher and Hill House are fucking brilliant.

And another vote for Harlan Guthrie - very well deserved.
Jonny Sims - master of making everyday things like a vase terrifying. @jonnysims.bsky.social

Graham Green - The End of the Party had stayed with me since HS

Harlan who weaves horror, guilt, regret, growth in @malevolent.ca

@mikeflanaganfilm.com Midnight Mass = perfection

Just had a curious look through the list of accounts blocking me. I have a feeling I know why some of these guys blocked me, but not all. I might have shot myself in the foot by going on multiple starter pack follow jags, thus making myself look like a follow farmer (I swear I'm not).
