Hello. I write things like poetry and horror stories. My novella Haunted Ones is out and about in the world. I've also directed a bunch of short films... Like over 100. I also perform sideshow as Kino B. Demented, specializing in escape arts and other dangery things. Horses are also constant.

That’s an obscene amount of energy. Meta should foot the bill.
Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.
Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.
Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

I feel like my entire morning is spent arguing with my dog. She wants to play. I want to go back to sleep.

when we did the most *conservative* accounting of this (using advertising data, because of course they're also not transparent about it), the NYT alone had taken in $20 million from oil and gas companies in just THREE years. it's absolutely wild drilled.media/news/drilled...

For a while now, I've been really annoyed by my usage of the internet. It used to be a place that inspired me to create some of my best work.
Now it absolutely prevents me from doing anything.
So I'm cleaning everything up and changing things in pursuit of joy and inspiration.
Because this sucks.

I am saying once again that the Conservative attack on the Arts is because they are incredibly envious of artists who they perceive as a group that has “too much” cultural power, a type of influence Conservatives crave but will never have because they’re anti-intellectuals with no imagination.

In total last minute crunch mode to get all the moving parts in order for the 48 Hour Film Project this weekend.
I love making movies, but I start feeling the pressure and anxiety in the few days beforehand, which makes me want to just cuddle my dog.
Once we get on set, I'll be fine.

Having responsibilities the morning after a show is very hard for me.
Like... I have to go give my horse medication. Which is fine, but the act of getting out of bed and then driving to the barn to do so is very unappealing.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
