maybe it's super uncool to SAY you want to win, what do I know about being cool? but I know it's not uncool to say @thedeadlands.com has SO MANY hard-working, talented people helping bring it to your eyes each quarter and I'd love to see it happen for THEM. so pls consider if you still can 💀

extremely excited to be reading longer fiction for the deadlands. and I will say, most vaguely, that we have some very cool things and stuff coming along from, into, and throughout the deadlands. everything moves so slowly and so swiftly at the same time all the time...

that feeling when you discover a new musician that you LOVE that really SPEAKS TO SOMETHING INSIDE OF YOU and you go deep, deep into the internet to verify THIS IS A REAL PERSON, NOT A BUTTON SOMEONE PUSHED and the relief when you discover them and see them singing with their human vocal chords

my impressions of London after being here for 24 hours: everything smells like bacon... unrelatedly, we are staying in a little apartment just above a brunch restaurant.

some personal news... Beth and I have moved to Europe, as of 7am (local time) this morning. we'll be living in Spain for the next few years... your regularly scheduled Psychopomp stuff should be largely uninterrupted, as there's an amazing team in place. hello from London!

Happy Friday! May I present for your consideration: buy my book? The reasons you should do this are: it's my book, and it's very good, and it has a radish and her fox wife whom she adores and also a rock determined to live her best life even if maybe she wasn't meant to have a life to live.

single-handedly raising the search volume of the word Psychopomp (vermont is where I [and psychopomp] are based) lol 💪💪💪

a graph from 2004 to 2025 showing the growing interest of the word "psychopomp" -- graph is a slow increase until it gets to around 2022 then it goes sharply up.

below that, a chart showing "interest by subregion" with "Vermont" as the most interested state.

can I build the media company I want to build and sell books @ Psychopomp only and not ever have to deal with Amazon? do I need permission for this or, like... is everyone that loves us just on board with this? can I just do this??? i think I can just decide to do this...

it's so cool to watch someone experience for the first time a work of art you deeply love. even MORE COOL when they articulate in one shot what makes it so good/powerful/unique in a way you never thought about before. i love this channel and this vid was 10/10 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qjD...

I just learned that Michael Jackson allegedly would get up and set down tracks whenever the thought came to him because he was afraid if he didn't do it asap the muse/God/etc would give it to Prince instead and if this concept is true I have some work to do.

publishing is so great me: hey, how many books are we selling on preorders, so know how much of @premeemohamed.com's amazing, HIGHLY ANTICIPATED BOOK to have printed. distributor: idk... me: uh... how do we find this out?? d: it's a mystery, it is unknowable. :/ so I'm just guessing.

i have such a hard time typing "psychopomp" -- which is unfortunate because I have to type it about 87,000 times per day. i think it's because I'm left-handed, and that last "hopomp" -- esp the "pomp" is particularly tough, as the last few fingers on my stupider hand are particularly stupid. 🤷

sorry for the slowness on things related to @thedeadlands.com, @psychopomp.bsky.social patron stuff, fundraiser stuff, etc. my cat very rudely tried to die several times since the 23rd by stubbornly not eating FOOD, A THING HE LOVES 5 vet visits later and things are slighlty looking up... 🤞

sometimes i have the urge to post about starting a small press/being a small press because there's just NO FUCKING INFO out there about it but are there any people dying to hear this? lol mostly I think it'd feel like yelling into the void/complaining, and that's not really my vibe... thoughts?
