Sea wracked. Sea spawned. I come here to read. And write. Folk horror, dark academia, and science fiction.

The whole sky just exploded in green here in Reykjavík. It was so bright, I didn't even need my flashlight to walk out to my neighborhood beach. It's rare when we get these whole sky engulfing shows.
This season has been something else.

With every old west movie, I'm starting to believe that the old west was actually a pretty terrible time and place to live. You go to town & gunslingers bully & demean you, you're lucky if you don't get shot, and medical treatment is a booze wash & amputation!

Mixing dark academia, Indigenous folk horror & ecological terror, All My Fears Have Faces asks what happens when unresolved trauma rises from the earth?
A professor vanishes in Devil’s Valley, site of petroglyphs and an old crime. A search begins blurring the line between the living & the dead.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.
This Friday, where will you be?

Neoliberals sucking up to "genius" of Wall Street (from Clinton until Great Financial Crisis) + Silicon Valley (Obama through this moment) is to blame for SO MUCH of this mess.
And neolib agreement with right wing attacks on government, unions, & environmentalists is even worse!

WSJ editorial board: "But as with the war, Mr. Zelensky didn’t start this Oval Office exchange. Was he supposed to tolerate an extended public denigration of the Ukrainian people, who have been fighting a war for survival for three years?"
Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance.
Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin
WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

NYT Pitch: Just as Ukraine irresponsibly goaded Russia into invading it by being worried about invasion, Democrats are to blame for Trump becoming Putin’s ally, due to the inexcusable act of accusing him of already being one.
