duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I have a lot of patience with directors, but if you put an entire Counting Crows song in your movie and expect people to sit through it, well, you’re just crazy. 020

duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I am a fan of a creative team getting to play, so little of that in the world. 010
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Man, the Nutter Butter IG is pretty surreal. 111
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 18/09/2026When asked to be a guest of honor in the town parade, my first reaction was “not a chance,” but then I thought, “this would be a great opportunity for my students to throw rotten tomatoes at me,” and agreed to join. 030
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Torn here because I want you to sell it but I’m also curious to see you make it yourself. 010
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 09/09/2026You know, I had this same thing happen when I was in my 30s and it’s like, “Why did I wait so long?” 011

duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I think it’s time to write about the end of it and maybe that will undo it? 020
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I got water on Brian by accident once. Six books popped out of him. I made sure never to feed him after midnight after that. 110
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 03/09/2026For years, I would say, “this band rips off Joy Division,” whenever a Joy Division song came on just to watch people short circuit. It worked every time. 020
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 01/09/2026AI bots love my work. They write me fan mail every week. It’s very flattering and delightfully vague. In particular they like my short story collection. 010

Reposted by duncan b. barlowDorothy, a publishing project @dorothyproject.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Friends, book reviews are drying up. We all know this. But it's worth repeating. Advance reviews we used to (gratefully!) count on are no longer a given; we're not getting them. Newspapers where intrepid reviewers used to talk about our books . . . well, you know. PLEASE, if you read our books . . . 319278

duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Pinocchio Unstrung is every bit as bad as I had expected, but also occasionally quite funny. 000
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Look, I’ve watched the episodes of Ted Lasso. It’s not worse, people just hate women. 001
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 18/08/2026And the first faculty meeting of the year arrives like a thief in the night. 000
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I’m watching The Dark right now and I’m enjoying it. It’s interesting to me how often I consume writing and music from the UK. 010
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 06/08/2026This is a truth. I have room in my heart for Blood Meridian and The Gilmore Girls. But if I could get a Gilmore Girls Blood Meridian book, I’d mighty happy. 110
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I don’t know who needs to hear this, but sometimes it’s just an empty room and not a liminal space. 010
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 01/08/2026For this Saturday my goal is finish editing an Astrophil Press book and clean the house. Both objectives make bring me unbelievable peace of mind. 040

duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Really phoning in the headlines these days. 010
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 30/07/2026If I had the money, would I buy a hot rod from the 1920s and drive it around dressed as a Universal monster in October? Maybe. 000
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Whenever I say goodbye to a house or a car, I feel this. These are our safe spaces, the respites from the violence of the world. 110
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Did you see Evison just released an interview with him? Double good day for fans. 110

duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Three days of 120+ heat index in South Dakota, yet some fool will find the one time it happened in 1936 (read Dust Bowl) to refute claims about corn sweat and climate change. 010
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Everything Taylor Sheridan creates is hot garbage. His popularity is a symptom of everything wrong with this nation. 120

duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Evil Dead Burn was messy but very fun. More enjoyable than Rise but not as coherent as Evil Dead (2013). It’s been a good summer for horror. 010
duncan b. barlow @duncanbbarlow.bsky.social · 09/07/2026RTJ4 is such a fantastic LP. I keep coming back to it and it feels fresh every time. 010
