Apparently Ghislaine’s horse was named Bubba and I can’t believe more hay isn’t being made of this.

If you’ll excuse the expression.

Working on heat staining for my flamers (as I mentioned during the latest episode of Pixel Lit). Next I’ll learn how to take a picture worth a damn. 🔥

I was listening to Pixel Lit one time a few years ago, and Phil said something like, "there's a level of self-centeredness you need in order for social anxiety to get really bad," and it legitimately changed my brain chemistry. It was like, "Oh. I'm not the center of the social dynamics. Oh!"

Has anyone noticed how quiet this second Wicked movie’s rollout has been? No nonsensical product tie-ins or exhausting, over-the-top trailers. So dignified. So poised.

If working with a bunch of kids in their early twenties ever gets you down, just turn up The Eurythmics and get down while shouting “AH YEAH YOU LITTLE SHITS—I WAS ALIVE FOR THIS”.

It didn’t work out for me, but your results might be different.

White people will tell you that hip-hop is “just noise” and then feel an emotional stirring when they hear a bagpipe.

Just got done with ALL THE STARS DIE by John F.D. Taff and I highly recommend it. Cosmic horror novellas by a truly skilled author. A page turner, to boot. Damn. @badhandbooks.bsky.social

Y’know, there was a split second there that I was saying “Folks, she’s a new widow—we all mourn differently. There’s no wrong way to mourn.”

And I was wrong.

Honestly, every time evangelicals describe the rapture and how folks like me are going to be left behind, I can’t help but think: “That sounds really nice.”

I’m reading the first Ravenloft module for AD&D and I think the funniest aspect of it is there’s always a chance Strahd will just show up, start a fight, and then run away.

He’s basically Jason in the Friday the 13th NES game.

Went to the grocery store and some good ‘ole boy looks at me with a big grin. “Got something for ya,” he said before handing me this. “Chinese currency,” he said, then explained he got a boxful on TEMU for half the price of Amazon—he was very proud of that detail. There’s a lot to unpack here.

When you drop by the clinic to have your sore throat looked over and they start hooking you up to an IV. Delightful.
