The Spear Cuts Through Water got quite a bit of recognition, but I want to be able to talk about it with random people on the street.

@mayadeane.bsky.social After having read the E-book years ago I've been looking for a physical copy of Wrath Goddess Sing. I finally found a copy. Fresh from the shelves of a Salvation Army. This book is easily one of the best books I've ever read and I'm so glad to now also own a physical copy.

reason 8 trillion Wrath Goddess Sing whipped & more people should read it

post reading "I've seen a lot of people bemoan the notion that fantasy authors and TTRPG devs can't conceptualize the divine as anything other than as societal constructs anthropomorphized.

... sorry to say-

Neither can you. None of us can. It's not the 16th century anymore."

Periodic reminder that Wrath Goddess Sing is freaking amazing and you need to read it. Or get the audiobook, which is doubly amazing thanks to the tremendously talented narrator @katrafiy.bsky.social.

Odyssey discourse notwithstanding, I sadly remain the only soul courageous enough to put trans Achilles into the world.* * except various ancient Greek painters, Frans Francken the Younger, Pietro Paolini, Nicolas Poussin, Angelica Kauffmann, Philibert Vigier, and sundry Girl With Sword enthusiasts

The masses appeared to me in a dream and demanded my take on Rocky Horror. Upon waking, I had three pressing questions which I refer to the Internet: 1. Are the masses trying to lure me into discourse? 2. Is this a trap? 3. Do corsets provide effective lower back support?

We just wrapped 5 days shooting my new short “Cyleen”. It stars myself, was co-written by @mayadeane.bsky.social (Wrath Goddess Sing), has a trans director and DP, and features a bunch of my actor friends from #TheChairCompany and classes around the city! Will have much more to share soon!

the people clamor for my wisdom on large language models. what do I think the discourse overlooks? Large language models are maps of how language is used. Setting aside the chatbot interfaces, it's useful to ask, "What are maps good for? What can't they do well? What choices do they take away?"

you can't make Blazing Saddles today because it has in fact been made and people would say "this is the script for Blazing Saddles, wtf." This is also my theory of reception. The Odyssey is right there; read it! You won't regret it! BUT: people have been remixing the Odyssey since it was written.

next Odyssey retelling needs Helen dosing everyone with happy-while-you-talk-trauma drugs from Egypt, then ensuing guided talk therapy. Honestly would have fit well into the Nolan movie--if Nolan had let Helen be weirder, her marriage a strange postapocalyptic partnership to stem the bleeding.

You all may not have heard since I talk about it so rarely, but I wrote a novel. It's very good. Of course I would say that, but if I hadn't written it, I would still be obliged by hater's code to admit that that that uppity-ass quirk chungus bitch actually wrote a great novel.

the multitudes demand my verdict on Nolan's Odyssey! Good: the ships, sets, weapons, & Agamemnon. And an Actual Take on Odysseus as an arch-violator of xenia who merited the Bronze Age Collapse. Bad: the armor, the lack of Helen drug trips, how woman and goddess was nerfed. 15 minutes too short.

Alexander the Great died on a cloudy day, so it's pretty cool that modern astronomy lets us reconstruct the stars above Babylon that day. As he lay dying in Nebuchadnezzar's palace, Alexander could not see this patch of western horizon for all his power. (But we can.)
