For Haleigh Masterton, the moment her stomach lining tore registered only as a dull ache. Nor did it slow her down any. It was simply another one of the many aches that came with the job and so it did...

Some words for October. I'd include a line from the story to try to generate interest but it'd just be the first sentence and you can read that in the blurb.

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

Two things can be true:
1) destigmatizing psychedelics is fantastic and something society needs to do
2) all of these people should be thrown into the Mangler from the 1995 Tobe Hooper film adaptation of Stephen King's THE MANGLER

My YouTube channel has just passed 100 subscribers! Even though I haven’t been uploading new videos very often, thank you so much for your support! I’m thinking about how I can create content on YouTube that conveys my music more deeply. So please take it easy and wait for it!:)

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen
