Having a panic attack over your 5th Grader's School project because you can't get over your own stupid childhood trauma is dumb and embarrassing and I hate myself even more than usual. How lame is it to have PTSD over something as stupid as academic pressure? The answer is very. It's very lame.

Trying to maintain my sanity in spite of:
1) Transphobic propaganda reaching an all-time high
2) Money being a constant worry
3) The orange buffalo grundle in charge pulling us deeper and deeper into a fascist nightmare every waking moment

It's an immutable scientific truth that Weiner is the funniest word for penis in any language and I will die on that hill.

Just got another pitch accepted by The Hard Times, and Black Hare Press accepted one of my short stories for their Patreon. As far as writing is concerned, the year is off to a good start!

Yeah it's really gone downhill since Netflix started producing it.
This episode of Black Mirror we are living in sucks.

Figured at 44 it was time for tattoo #2 (Got my first—the Bat symbol—at 40) and of course being the dork I am it had to be Star Wars...

Any time I see some chud crying "REY IS NOT A SKYWALKER!" I bring up the fact that technically Anakin isn't either and watch gleefully as their smooth brains implode.

When did the pronunciation of Biopic become a hotly contested debate?

"In the '80s there was a movie released about how bad capitalism was expressed through an a dead cop being resurrected as a robot and forced to continue working"
"Oh wow, how did that turn out?"
"We turned it into a kids cartoon and sold action figures and video games based on it."

Getting ready to ring in the new year with bronchitis/pneumonia/whatever the hell is ravaging my respiratory system right now and making me cough so hard I keep almost passing out. Fun times.

It's always been a dream of mine as a writer to get something published by The Hard Times and now that dream has finally come true.

At first, I thought the whole "President Musk" thing was silly, but the more I think about it, the more I realize Trump is just that egotistical that if people keep calling Elon the "real" president, he'll turn against him. So yeah, President Musk and Vice President Trump, what a team!

I may have written an article about how much better Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker was than Heath Ledger's and I may also be sharing it below...

Ask most people who their favorite Joker is and there's a good chance they'll answer Heath Ledger. The Dark Knight (2008) was one of the first times a comic bo

I just wrote this little piece about why Tim Drake is the best Robin. Give it a read. capedcrusades.com/holy-boy-won...

If you read the article title, don't worry — I won't keep you guessing. The answer is yes, Tim Drake is the best Robin. Despite this highly subjective but suppo

Look, I heard The Substance was good but nobody told me it was "Out-Cronenberg Cronenberg, full Peter Jackson 3rd act good" A+ body horror, highly recommend but be warned, not for the faint of heart

Every time I see someone call these "Skeets" I think of Booster Gold's cute lil' robot sidekick...well I think of something else too but lets keep it PG, shall we?

Skeleton Crew rocked! The '80s Spielberg aesthetic works in the show's favor and the kids are awesome so far. If these first two episodes are any indication this might end up rivaling Andor.

Can we stop obsessing over canon? I keep seeing people arguing over whether Wicked is "canon" to The Wizard of Oz and whether it is or not couldn't matter less. Which version of a fictional story "counts" is one of the most boring arguments a geek can have. See also: Star Wars, Marvel, DC, etc.

I was just told that my Dad wishes my AMAB child "acted like (dead name) instead of Lavender" and that's why he doesn't reach out. The funniest part? My dad never did anything with her even when she still presented as male.

Fuzzy little monsters that eat their enemies and then use their skulls* for drums are the definition of badass but tell me again how the "cuddly teddy bears" ruined the franchise.

*Yes I know it was probably just the helmets but, you know, poetic license and all that
