I like more and more things the older I get! Different genres of music, movies, books. Different tropes, styles, tones. One day, I will complete my transformation into an art raccoon, taking all things into my tiny greedy hands with untempered joy

I was just reading up on scene separators. An asterisk/bullet point is a dinkus, a floral one is a fleuron, and any other fancy one is a dingbat (1920s slang for a whatchamacallit). The Langdon Home for Malevolent Livestock collection will use tiny animals that change base on who's in the story!

In an ongoing effort to share the specific joys of late 90s/early 2000s horror with my partner, we watched Disturbing Behavior today. I'll be singing Flagpole Sitta for the next two to three weeks if you need me

I was so excited when I saw that Stephen Root was in Widow's Bay, and let me tell, I wasn't excited enough. What a treasure

"But to truly have the freedom to make the art we want, we also have to free our minds! We have to detach from any boring, false beliefs in a fair meritocratic hierarchy." HECK YES

Dreamt Superman was on his way to save someone who knew Clark Kent, so he called ahead first to say, "Okay so I've changed my face, but not, like, a lot. So maybe just pretend you don't recognize me."

Dostoevsky: Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth. Me, a very sad dingdong: You guys are getting a large intelligence?

The Electrical Infant! Heaven's Last Best Gift to Man; The Art of All Arts; The Science of all Science; The New Motive Power! Built by John Murray Spear in the 1850s at the behest of Benjamin Franklin's ghost (among others) to usher in a new spiritual age. I say we rebuild it. What could go wrong?

Can I tell you something? I have this little thought, this small shining belief tucked away deep in secret chamber of my heart: That someone knew exactly what they were doing when they chose "Unstoppable" by The Calling as the song Lex was listening to before he hit Clark with his car in Smallville

I guess I randomly remembered the existence of C.H.U.D. in my sleep last night, and every time I woke up, I'd been doggedly trying to come up with alternatives to Cannibalistic. The only one I remember today is "comfy". Comfy Humanoid Underground Dwellers

UPDATED #WRITING FEEDS list incoming! If you're an #author new to Bluesky, feeds sort of replicate the experience of following hashtags. I'll comment in the writing related feeds I'm aware of, but new ones are being created all the time so this is not comprehensive. Just a place to start!
