we are very much in the Imperial Boomerang stage of American decline so this checks out

Rest In Peace, David Lynch🌹

would really love to see more Democrats start talking like this. you're in a fight, act like a fighter.

Could not agree with this more. When my word count goal was super high and I had a day I knew I wouldn't have time to hit it, sometimes I didn't write at all. I don't even use a WC goal anymore, just "do something on the novel," and my work rate has never been higher.

There is nothing I miss about filmmaking more than when an actor does something unexpected with the script or the blocking, something you’d never think of in ten lifetimes but now you can’t imagine them not doing. You feel like you’re floating. All the best parts of art-making are like this.

Think twice before gifting someone an M dwarf this holiday season

We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experience is a narrowing of the imagination. David Lynch

Chicago: please join the extraordinary Borderless Magazine and me in Pilsen for their winter fundraiser so they can continue to fund critical journalism about and with immigrants. Our reactionary climate needs it now more than ever. With gratitude and solidarity. borderlessmag.org/2024/11/01/d...

Come listen to some good reading at Roscoe Books on Sunday!

Thank you to all my new followers! I'm a Chicago-area writer who writes surrealist hauntings. I'm currently in revisions on my first novel. Here are my published short stories if you feel like checking em out! www.evanderlang.com/work

the reason i post so infrequently is that i have no passing thoughts. i think when i am writing, and all the rest of the time, the inside of my brain is just sort of humming in repose. like the inside of a refrigerator

either JOHN WAYNE for The Pinch earlier this year, or my first-ever published story, BUSINESS, which is right here – https://www.thesatirist.com/stories/business.html

the brothers Karamazov is really just such a good book. those crazy brothers! they're always up to something crazy and fun 🙂

as a prolific teenage shoplifter (personal best was a Thanksgiving turkey tucked under my coat) i feel this acutely

at my friend's wedding last year he grabbed me by the shoulders, looked me in the eye, and said "you mean the world to me," and i will probably still be hearing it in my head when i am dying

i desire only limitless power and influence. i will attain it through short fiction
