I typically don’t like to engage in these nostalgia memes because they’re usually thinly veiled insults at current generations, but I gotta say this one was pretty accurate. I remember doing this exact drill in 1985. I’m very happy to see times have changed.

1986: Tornado happening. Go in hall and put a book on your head. Also we are having pizza for lunch.

The world is a little more fascist each day. Best to take 30sec and just watch some snow fall in slo-mo. Take a breath. Watch the snow. Then go give them hell.

Don’t need a year end wrap up. My favorite list on #Tidal pretty much sums it up.

Screenshot from Tidal showing a list of favorite artists. Starts at the top with Misfits, Giovannie & the Hired Guns, HARDY, Shaboozey, Post Malone, Dead Kennedys, The Cadillac Three, Bilmuri, Koe Wetzel, and The Reverend Horton Heat.

Just finished “Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees” by @patrickhorvath.bsky.social and @idwpublishing.bsky.social Absolutely loved it and can’t recommend it high enough. The art and story are intertwined in a way you get lost in. The world around Sam isn’t explained and doesn’t need to be. 5⭐️

Cover of graphic novel. Green leaves surround the overhead view of a bear walking, holding a shovel, dragging a white bags with blood seeping out and trailing behind. Title is at the top with the author at the bottom, both in light yellow color.

Introduce yourself with four albums.

Album cover for the band Misfits named Famous Monsters. Painted versions of the four band members in costume and makeup to look scary in a cemetery.

Album cover for the band Social Distortion self named album. Blue ink drawn figures in noir style with paper tears through the middle.

Album cover for the band Alice in Chains named Dirt. Image of a desolate and empty desert with a woman laying down, feet to the forefront, seemingly buried halfway in the dirt.

Album cover for the band Giovannie and The Hired Guns named Tejano Punk Boys.
Cartoonish image of the White House with various characters in front of it, graffiti on the walls, and a Mexican flag below the US flag on top.

I’d like to remind everyone that this episode exists and should be viewed. I don’t care if you don’t watch the whole show (thought it is very good), but I do think this one episode should be mandatory viewing. It’s beautiful in every possible iteration of the word. #TheLastOfUs #Season1Episode3

Warning: Vent/Rant I am still furious things I enjoy are associated with the literal worst people. Hunting, big trucks, shooting, country music, even wearing camo. It may not seem important, but these were genuinely enjoyable to me and now I’m confused for racists, MAGA, blue-line for participating.

Writerly friends: Want to do a small self-publish physical copy of one of my novellas. I know that Am*z*n has services for such things but at near Faustian costs. What are some other options out there that you like that would be good for a small run? Or should I just sign the underworld contract?

I have personally witnessed Beau model everything in this list. He’s the real deal. Also, he’s just an awesome guy who you should know regardless. And like other great Canadians, he’s looking out for you.

Me: it’s Labor Day weekend! Time to tackle all those projects and tasks you’ve been meaning to do for a while because now you have time! Also Me:

Since I wasn’t on this platform during my announcement last week, here is a quick recap: Looks like for my next story we’re heading to North Carolina deep into the Appalachians and finding out what has always been there. “Older Than Bone” is coming in ‘24. #HorrorWriter #OldAppalachia #NoYouDidnt
