Here’s some of the stuff I do/have done:
I’m currently working on a sci-fi novel, the first in a series.
I also write short horror stories that will eventually go into a collection. One is currently waiting on a response from The NoSleep Podcast. I will submit more to them as well as other podcasts

@robpearson86.bsky.social just watching the most recent PSA podcast and you mentioned you would play a 30 minute game if you could. You should 100% play Arrog. It’s a very neat gentle puzzler about guiding a soul into the afterlife AND you get a nice and easy platinum out of it.

What’s the point of being as skinny as I am if I don’t get spiky hair, a buster sword, and a mysterious backstory?

There’s probably a psychological reason why I like to come home from an 8 hour work day to get folded in half by a video game boss with two health bars, lightning attacks, and super long combos.

“Separate the art from the artist” yeah but sometimes the art is shitty and problematic too.
Yes this is about Harry Potter.

I wish asking “are we actually friends or are you just tolerating me and I’m too stupid to tell” was normal.

Some incel is gonna call me a simp for this, but nothing makes me lose my faith in humanity the way the comments on a woman’s Instagram reel do.

#riseoftheronin is insanely generous with its trophy list. I’ve averaged 2 trophies a day so far and have about 30 hours clocked in if my PS5 stats are to be believed.

A writer should know better than to use AI art.
A magical cat is swept into a hidden world of secret agents, underground cities, and strange allies, only to realize she must reclaim her power or watch her ruthless mentor destroy everything she loves.

I finally figured out who Trump reminded me of when that bishop was giving her speech.
Henry F Potter from It’s A Wonderful Life.
His expression was identical to Potter’s when George Bailey was giving his speech to Potter.

I don’t know any immigrants and neither do you.

Writing about oneself to some degree is unavoidable but creating an MC as a direct self insert is hack behavior.
#pretendpanel, today I wanna know: are you sneaking people in your life into your stories, or are your characters like aspects of yourself?
January 20th: Are you more of a writer who writes themselves onto the page, or other people in their life?

We love Dunkin.
This is Dunkin. He will not take a bath without his bear ear headband. Partly because it keeps his face dry, and partly because it helps him feel brave. 12/10

I feel weirdly okay today. Motivated. Maybe it’s because it’s my first “real” (or “real-ish”) day at work, even though it’s bound to be nuts(I work for a heating company and it’s in the negatives right now). Maybe I’m in a state of denial. Maybe once the inauguration’s over, it’ll set in.

I’m thankful to have landed a full time job, but tomorrow is definitely going to be a rough ride when I have to work while knowing he’s re-entering the Oval Office.

I hope there’s a comic or piece of animation based off the song “Juke Box Hero” because if not, that’s a serious missed opportunity.
