Nathan Tompkins @gorillapoet.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I submitted a story to Planet Scumm 383 days ago. No response, and they’re open for subs. Should I chalk it up as a loss, at this point? 000

Nathan Tompkins @gorillapoet.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Have you ever seen the movie "Collossus: The Forbin Project". It hits alot harder these days, than when I first saw it as a kid. Holy shit it's frightening. 000
Nathan Tompkins @gorillapoet.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Literary rejections are rough when you're already depressed. But, sometimes, that's just how it works. So, now to get my revenge by sending them another submission. 000
Nathan Tompkins @gorillapoet.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I got into his music late, only after his death. Some one dear to me is a big fan, and they were talking about it and sharing songs with me.

Nathan Tompkins @gorillapoet.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Last weekend, I got to read/perform my work at a music festival. The stage was small, and some things left to be desired (like no merch table for writers, and so on), but I had a hell of a lot of fun.::.and got a weekend pass with camping for payment. Fuck yeah! 010

Nathan Tompkins @gorillapoet.bsky.social · 25/06/2026This morning, I was taking a shower, moving on auto pilot, as my brain was still snoring in bed. As I was rinsing away the shampoo, and soap, the overhead light flickered in the corners of my vision. I thought it was something electrical. It wasn't. A bat was flying in my bathroom. As I showered. 010
