INTRODUCTION THREAD
I’m Alejandro. I write literary fiction, explore postmodern ideas in my essays, and reflect on historical, cultural, and artistic milestones. If you enjoy themes of duality, skepticism, and faith with a gothic sensibility, go ahead and stick around.

Feeling defeated by David Lynch’s passing. Awfully Lynchian for him and LA to depart together. He will be missed.

Finished reading LM’s three-page declaration. I will be sharing my thoughts soon on my substack. Preface: I understand him. I empathize with him. I don’t disagree with his actions.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

Comic books have played such a big part in my life. Absolutely adore them. Hope to one day make a few of my own.

I like how on Bluesky everyone feels like a real person. Don’t know how else to say this but it’s a throwback for sure.

Ah, Monday. Why stress? It’s not the end of the world, just the start. The week has to begin somewhere, so why not here? Monday’s the opening credits, setting the stage. Kick back and enjoy the show.

I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but to all those who feel unwanted or unwelcome or unrecognized just know you’d have a hearty plate at my table and a warm meal to leave with. You are appreciated.

It would be cool to reclaim punk subcultures here, embracing core values like individualism, DIY lifestyles, community and solidarity, and an anti-authoritarian mindset. Offshoots like goth and industrial are part of punk’s legacy, let’s not forget that. We need more of this, less fades.

Question: As a writer, what do you think are the most worthwhile things to write about?
Personally, I’d say Love, Death, Life, and the sheer complexity of human nature.
