"And that part?"
"South America. Oh, the little... that's the Amazon Rainforest, in Brazil."
"It's so green, like the Moon Garden! We're going there too?"
"We are, sweetheart. There's a cafe in Rio de Janeiro I'd like to see again."

It looks so small from up here, like a perfect little gem. Nothing like when it was burning on the midnight broadcast.

I know the fires were never visible from space, but I swear I remember it all turning red. Smoke filled my lungs entire light-years away. I wondered if I'd ever see it again.

And now it's so green.

Reading #piranesi reminded me of some Newgrounds animation series I watched when I was younger, but I couldn't place it... But I finally found it! The 'Castle' series by Oscar Johansson

Too many people saying "the enemy of my enemy is my-!" as if it's impossible to separately hate both Ford and Trump at the same time

I want to start posting more of my short stories into the world. Here's the first of many: This one, from 2020, explores the bitter fate of many young boys during the Second World War. houseoffiends.medium.com/to-the-stars...

Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

Arcane S2 is great for people with ADHD because it's basically 'Is someone with blue hair on screen? Oh shit something's gonna happen'
