BRIMSTONE SLIPSTREAM, a free-to-read novella-length introduction to the fantastical city of Yemareir and its illegal underground dragon-racing scene through the relatable medium of uh long-form magazine journalism, it's a good book though, I'm better at books than social media I PROMISE 💙📚

Near the top of Taipei 101 (the 11th tallest building in the world) sits its tuned mass damper, a 660-ton steel ball designed to help the building sway in typhoon-force winds without breaking in half. It is surrounded by a team of damper babies. So very cool.

Fun fact: In between shitposts, I write fantasy! BRIMSTONE SLIPSTREAM is THE FAST & THE FURIOUS with dragons, a story of a family who came up from nothing on the underground dragon-racing circuit and find themselves having to fight their city to survive.

“… people… have wrestled with how to bring their analytical skills to bear on a man and a movement that so defy analysis. Not in the sense that anything about him or it is unknowable, but in the sense that it is all instantly identifiable as precisely what it is.”

Hi all, I’m a fantasy writer in disguise as a civil servant. Right now I’m writing books about found families and the dragons they race for money. In light of the horrors of recent days, I will shout out to Optimus Prime, a fearless leader of ‘80s daytime TV who always did the right thing. #SFFChat

Every day there’s less room in my heart to forgive the people who voted for this. Political strategists need to understand what moves the hearts of swing voters. Fine. Not my job.

They say on the Internet no one knows you’re a dog, but apparently everyone knows if you’re a man in his forties; I went to one of those xkcd password generators and my four words were “member refused honor soft.” I am cremains.
