A reminder, since I’ve picked up a few followers via starter pack lately, that tiny frights ceased publication a couple of years ago. This is just my personal horror-themed account now.

So far my impression of AHS 13 is that there’s so much story that there’s no story. But I’ll keep watching.

A lot creative work is already being called porn. Book banners are calling books with queer people simply existing "porn" to get them pulled out of schools and libraries. We are in this together whether you like it or not. Solidarity is the only way to fight.

I’ve begun loading episodes of the defunct tiny frights podcast to the website, so you can grab them from there and not just RedCircle or Apple or Bandcamp. Only the first episode so far, but it’s a start. (Full disclosure: the first episode is one of my own poems.) tinyfrights.com/audio/tiny-f...

it's always odd when "you should expose yourself to more diverse ideas" always means a certain kind of conservatism instead of like, Indigenous art, new fusion foods, math paradoxes, or the Dvorak keyboard layout

Been in a writing slump this summer. I’ve written some things, but it’s like, “Ok, you’ve performed the ritual, but the gods didn’t show up.”

Currently reading: _Invaginies_, by Joe Koch. Reminds me of Lautremont, Rimbaud, Kenneth Patchen’s _Sleepers Awake_. But weirder.

Watched Ready or Not 2. Like the original, it was nonsensical fun. I doubt I’ll ever rewatch either, but I don’t consider my viewing time wasted.

Just read a popular and critically acclaimed book (not saying) where the prose was elegant, the narrative inventive, the characters interesting, but it didn’t draw me in. I never forgot I was reading writing.

That my poetry was too varied (“sometimes seriously crafted emotional verse, sometimes seriously smart-ass”) and I needed to decide what kind of poet I wanted to be. Which I took to mean my poems weren’t predictable and all alike, and I’ve tried to keep doing that.

The arrival of bookmail improves any day. The fact that this shipment came on my (delayed) birthday celebration makes it even better.

Five books:
1. The Etched City: a novel, by K. J. Bishop
2. Illuminations: Essays and Reflections by Walter Benjamin, edited by Hannah Arendt
3. In the Land of… Simplicity: a novel, by Mattie Lubchansky
4. Don’t Call Us Dead: poems, by Danez Smith
5. Invaginies, by Joe Koch

Doing a book purge, as I occasionally do, but stepping it up this time to prepare myself for eventual downsizing when this house becomes too much for us. I pulled over 100 books to jettison. Of course, I’m taking them to a bookstore for trade-in credit. And I just ordered 5 books on bookshop.org.

The best part of getting older is aging out of a demographic that gets killed in horror movies. I am now the age of the kooky local at the gas station who warns the band of college kids not to go to Camp Murderblood.

The tale of the ruler whose reflection turned to slime is beyond what even the Brothers Grimm conceived. This is Angela Carter or Italo Calvino territory, and it is wonderful.

This is a kind yet cogent and analytical rebuttal. Something isn't just weird fiction because it is surreal or has something weird in it. I kinda side eyed that original essay for its category errors.
