There is not much here... yet.
There will be a website... at some point.
But if you like fantasy (and sci-fi), adventures in the bronze age, political shenanigans, and immortal twinks, maybe you want to stick around.

Well this 2,600-year-old clay letter was a journey.
It comes from the archive of a goldsmith named Nabû-zeru-iddin in the heart of ancient Assyria. We’ve got someone left on read, a lawsuit, a mean step-mom, and people who get drunk and steal silver.

There are always going to be people who, sincere or otherwise, want all art to conform to their controlling bland "manager policing their workers' bodily autonomy" perspective.
And it's important to shut those people out in the cold and create art of wild indulgence and freako obsessions 🤘

You GOTTA stop being so desperately afraid of the audience. Look at me. Look in my eyeballs. Stop being so desperate for approval. Stop writing for the whiny babies in your audience and start writing for the freaks who like cool fucked up shit

I was well over 30 when I wrote and published my first novel, and fully agree with you!
When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

People are laughing at the aioli-scented book, but smell is one of the things that e-books can never give you: a core sense that evokes strong memories and emotions, a hunger for skinny fries and dipping sauce, a deep desire to visit your favourite eatery, and even a covid test

In Babylon: Mesopotamia and the Birth of Civilization by Paul Kriwaczek, he notes that the potter’s wheel predated the wheel being used for transportation. The need for vessels was more urgent than the need for a new form of locomotion. It made me think of LeGuin’s Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction:

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Unfortunately incorrect: this had nothing to do with parking and everything to do with a type of building creep.
When buildings were torn down and rebuilt, new builds often encroached and built over existing road infrastructure, narrowing the street's width. Sennacherib set up steles to stop that.
