If yinz can spare positive energy my way for October, I'm going to need it. My book draft is due at the end of the month. It will get done, but it's going to take a lot.

Is it weird to only play games made by one company? Asking for a friend. Who is me.

If I still had my blog, I'd have a lot to say about #blizzcon2026. It's always nice to see WoW friends IRL, and I'm excited for the new games (other than SC Helldivers). But Blizzard has to do better with organization for the con itself. A thread.

I just cannot with the faux outrage/resistance from privileged academics outside of the US as they attempt to be tough against the fascist regime in office. Who is the audience? Literally fuck off and find something else better to post about.

It surprises me NOT AT ALL that there is a cocaine ring made up of rich white frat guys at University Park. There isn't anything more Penn State than that.

I think about this much too frequently. One of my friends growing up had a gay uncle who died in the 90s. I assume he died from AIDS given how quickly he disappeared, but maybe I'm wrong. I wish I could thank him for making me as a child see I wasn't just a freak for feeling how I did then.

I stare out of our kitchen window every morning at a giant old oak tree in the park behind our house. The amount of wildlife it houses is amazing. I hope it outlives me because I will be crushed if I live to see it fall or cut down.

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

I don't know why, but all of the Big Boy 4014 videos keep making me tear up. Maybe it's the symbolism of what was then a bright future that has become a rancid boil of a present. Maybe steam is as close as most of us ever get to magic. Maybe I'm just old.

Susan Collins will be reelected to be a senator until she's 9 million years old. Platner sucks if the SA charges are true. It doesn't change the fact that the US left is allergic to winning. The enshitification continues. Here comes the centrists telling us to campaign with shitty neocons again.

I would like us to consider if we can just end the era of the smashburger. It is objectively less good than a traditional burger that may be cooked to order and has flavor other than burnt grill bits. Thank you for your time and consideration. #burgers #burgersky #smashburgers

Folks, can we stop sharing AI-generated images and/or using them for book covers? If we're going to wring our hands about AI-generated writing, we need to respect our artist friends, too.

100% everything Kat writes here. I was really disappointed with Stoker Awards this year, too. SGJ deserved that nomination and award. Some other nominees on that list were not as good as many independent publisher/self published books I read this year. Period.

Oklahoma: 3.9 million people. NYC, 8.8 million people within the 5 boroughs. 23 million if you include all the people in the exurbs. Twice as many people in NYC as in OK. NYC's violent crime rate per 100k people: 418. Oklahoma's rate per 100k people: 428. Oklahoma's crime rate is higher.

To be clear: the lower court said the map intentionally discriminates against black people in violation of the *constitution* (not just the VRA) and the MAGA Majority of SCOTUS is saying "that's ok now."

I guess I'm a bit late to the conversation, but I'm disappointed in the Stoker Awards finalists this year. I feel like we see some of the same names over and over again for these awards. Some are deserving (Stephen Graham Jones!), and others are... not.

Calling for a cease-fire in the evening does not somehow erase calling for the genocide of an entire civilization the same day.
This is erratic and reckless leadership. In fact it isn't leadership at all. It has never been leadership.
It has always been authoritarianism, white supremacy, and greed.
And to think this even remotely represents Christianity is just beyond comprehension.
It still must be opposed. It still must end.
Our country deserves better. Our men and women in uniform deserve better. Our kids deserve better. Our world deserves better.
