The Real Horror of Black Mirror’s “Common People” Is Disability Under Capitalism
What looks like a critique of predatory tech is, for disabled people, a chilling reflection of real life.

Nothing feels more dystopian than being absolutely battered by the news and then hearing Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night on the radio.

Listening to #Folktronica (thanks Apple Music for identifying this), while reading about #FolkHorror. I've got a type, and it tastes like butter and lives deliciously.

The Christmas earworm season is over, so now it's back to having Somebody That I Used to Know stuck in my head every morning.

Also being back in grad school at 40 is wild. It's a humiliating exercise in self-reflection. I'm a far less arrogant student than I was 20 years ago. I'd say, I'm an insecure student now. But wow, I kind of miss the luxury of not being forced to witness how bizarre I am. 😬

First class of grad school is a genre writing workshop. We discussed convention and genre. I still can't articulate the difference between genre and literary. I tried to throw out some ideas. They were wrong. Can't I just say literary is like love, you know it when you experience it? No? No.

Jimmy's story (Solo's) in Shift by #HughHowey, would make a killer #videogame. Imaging scavenging #Silo 17 with your black cat companion, Shadow. I can see the opening cinematic being the story leading up to Year 7. Then the tutorial is venturing out and collecting Shadow.

I painted this cow for my sister in law for Christmas. She doesn't use this platform, so I can actually post it here. He's grumpy. I like him.

I have written some horror short stories, but I tend to not be great at writing in one specific genre. I tend to write in liminal spaces, blurring the lines between a few genres. But I understand the value of staying in a genre's boundaries, and I want to get better at that.

My first course in my MA program is a genre writing workshop. One, I'm excited about attending class in-person. Two, I'm really looking forward to having a deep focus on horror, a genre I've always wanted to write in.

Finished Wool by Hugh Howey. Started Shift, and I absolutely love it. I'm a sucker for a good prequel.

I graduated with my BA 20 years ago. Went to a grad event tonight and instantly felt an internal sense of belonging.

The amount of times I wake up with the song, "God Bless the USA" as an earworm, is very disheartening.

Finished "Stay in the Light," the follow-up to "The Watcher" by A.M. Shine. First half was brutally slow, and I despise the character Sean, but once it gets going, it's just as creepy. I ultimately enjoyed it despite the shortcomings. The third book is set up to be incredible.
