Destabilization of reality in the US is about to reach surreal heights. Protect your mind. Monitor stress levels. Do not doomscroll--it does not help. Be selective about when and how long you expose your brain to this. Do what you can when you can.

If you stopped at a deserted rest area to use the restroom and found it filled with turtles who all silently, balefully, turned their heads to look at you, how many turtles would it take to scare you off? That number is your Uncanny Rest-Area Restroom Turtle Number.

I just felt a tiny ant crawling on my hand and impulsively blew it onto the carpet instead of killing it, and now I’m sad as I imagine it wandering aimlessly through an endless forest of identical blue trees, slowly losing its mind.

This is indeed! First dog I had that I found on the streets and lived till she was 17. My first lesson about change that we cannot avoid, no matter how strongly we love someone. Death sucks but she lives on through my love for her.

The number one advice any & every writing professional can & will give you is this: DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK. You have spent years reading books, watching movies & TV, developing taste to know good from bad. NO ONE GETS TO READ YOUR WRITING UNTIL YOU LET THEM. Trust your taste & write fearlessly.

i no longer believe Death Stranding was a Hideo Kojima “prediction.” It was “protection.” Despite using social media interfaces with “likes,” the game is built as an anti-conflict algorithm where people are FORCED to support each other. He wanted to help. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

We need the horror genre. Horror pulls out the monsters in our minds and haunts us in our waking hours; is the perfect genre for the shadow work we'll be doing for the next few years.

People talk about wanting horror movies (like the original Alien) that just exist without explaining everything and without sequels delving into the Lore. What you want is The Empty Man. Go watch The Empty Man.

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film: 1) snow 2) bearded men concealing surprises 3) compulsory party games 4) introverts shunning group activities 5) digestive issues 6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms 7) knitwear

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

“The left needs to have voices that speak to young people!!” I know I should keep my mouth shut, but I’ve watched at least a dozen smart, passionate, popular left wing content creators get torn to shreds /by the left/ until they retreat either into obscurity or apolitical content.

Back on the horror movie recommendations of the day: Pontypool (2008). A small town shock jock and his team find themselves reporting on an outbreak spread by the spoken word. So clever and tense, with a dynamite script and stunning lead turn by Stephen McHattie, I think about it every day.

Literary translators being asked to edit machine-translated books, writers being asked to edit machine-written books. Efficiently-made, minimally-costing, artless product being put over art, an imprint of someone’s consciousness, made with passion, care & delight by human beings with livelihoods.
