It feels weird to say "Buy my book" given everything, but I stand by the dedication on this collection's first page: "To the women of Saint Paul, who deserve endless praise." The resistance here is strong, and I'm so proud of my community working every hour of every day to protect our neighbors.

This is a really interesting article on Vox Day in SwissInfo. In it, you can find a quote or two from this Kommunikationswissenschaftler. www.swissinfo.ch/eng/informat...

US author Vox Day was behind the manosphere concept of “sigma males”. We meet him in a quiet village in canton Fribourg.

Book announcement + cover reveal! My first book, Nostalgic Futures: The Reactionary Fantasies of Speculative Fiction Fandoms, hits physical and digital shelves on July 14, 2026!

Retro sci-fi style book cover with the title "Nostalgic Futures: The Reactionary Fantasies of Speculative Fiction Fandoms" by Max Dosser. In the foreground, staring directly at the reader, is a green mantis-like alien. Behind the alien, on a red alien landscape, a person in a Buck Rogers-like outfit holds a ray gun and looks to the alien.

New article out today! “If It Ain’t Woke, Don’t Fix It” considers how (anti-)fans nostalgically appealed to imagined pasts of True Detective and Rick & Morty to justify attacking those they blamed for the original creators’ “replacement.” No paywall! doi.org/10.1080/1318...
