I just watched the final episodes of COBRA KAI. I wrote this in March 2022 after watching the first couple of seasons and I've updated it with an addendum now, following the end of the series. alanbaxter.com.au/the-karate-k...

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

If a reader dislikes your politics, then no amount of subtlety will prevent them from accusing your story of not being subtle enough. Not even if the politics of the story are about your right to live. Don’t go quieter to appease the callow.

Just deactivated my twitter account. 15 years of it, growing it up to over 50,000 followers... but it's not worth giving Musk the traffic given his fuckery. So, I'll be here from now on...

Tonight I will be drinking beer and playing D&D. I play a Shadar Kai monk who follows the way of shadows. He's pretty much an assassin. His name is Skothoval Murderhobo.

Me, in a store, talking to a pushy sales staff. "Great, thanks. I'll come back later." I will, in fact, never return.

Why do passports even need gender at all? It's absolutely irrelevant. Like so much else in society, a person's gender is no one else's business and absolutely unnecessary as any kind of identifying marker. Can't we move past this entirely? Their name and photo is right there.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

We don't need a new Bond movie - we need an actual Bond. The supervillains are right there, waiting to be met with a 00 licence...

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

The real reason libraries are so valuable is that if anyone talks to you there, you can legitimately just shush them. Right to their face. And scowl too. Brilliant.

One week until RECALL is out. Probably my most violent book - if you enjoy loads of fighting and gunplay and high-octane supernatural action, this'll scratch that itch. Think John Wick x The Frighteners and it's something close. And remember, memory can't be trusted.

Keep making art, my friends. Write, draw, paint, sing, play. And keep enjoying the art of others. Indulge in things that bring you joy. It's how you survive and it's what makes fighting so important. Fight as much as you can, but don't forsake joy.
