Drove through a rez today. Beautiful, mostly untouched land with an ethereal sky. But it felt angry. Not the people, though I know they do. The land. It felt frustrated, confined. Like it knew it should be bigger than it is.

Day 7 (missed yesterday my bad work was long): Desperate Measures, Marianas Trench I've been on my Marianas Trench shit lately. Maybe it's nostalgia (maybe it's Maybelline) open.spotify.com/track/0CDUAU...

Day 6: Kotov Syndrome, Rise Against I love Rise Against's entire discography. I grew up on Appeal To Reason: this is my favorite song there. open.spotify.com/track/0iCYiE...

Day 5: Malmo, Mook An awesome vibe and the verses have such a good flow. Love this song. open.spotify.com/track/5AQ7yG...

Today, I saw a student laying on the concrete outside the playground, face up. I approached and asked him "hey man what's up?" He responded, "Heck my stupid chungus life bro. This fuckin' sucks." It took everything i had to not burst out laughing.

Day 4: Thin Distance, Noisescream Noisecream goes so fucking hard. This song is a good example of it, but like in a dramatic way. It's a good writing or drawing song I can't lie open.spotify.com/track/0ZSrgc...

"These memories aren't mine." </*[WRENCH] / [ ]*/> WRENCH is the main character of STAINED GLASS VIAL, an experimental horror novel set in the mysterious city of HORLAV. A robot who has found he has memories that do not belong to him. #booksky #writers

Day 3: TYRANTS BETTER RUN, rj Lake, Lake Savage The I Am Your Beast soundtrack is underrated as is. I'd argue this is the flagship song of the album and it fucks open.spotify.com/track/6cZ1K7...

Hello #booksky! I'm Winter. I write horror. I'm currently working on an experimental horror novel called Stained Glass Vial, about a robot with memories that aren't his. I also post all my short stories FOR FREE on thehorlavarchive.com It would mean the world for people to read it.

Day 2: NASTYWERKKKK!, Femtanyl I love femtanyl's music for a lot of reasons and for the broad range it covers. Scratches an inch deep in those synapses. Anyways here's her newest song it's a banger: open.spotify.com/track/7kvQpt...

Horlav is the global leader in the pursuit of Alchemy. Their city crest represents just that. This is the Horlav City Crest as seen on the boot screen of a public VIU. #writersky #worldbuilding

I love sharing music so I'm gonna do a song of the day thing here. Day 1: Robot Stop, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard This song kicks fucking ass and the transition to Big Fig Wasp made me shit myself in awe open.spotify.com/track/0Dgy7v...

all-seeing idiot

Genuinely upsetting display of learned helplessness.

Re: recent events, I posted a short stream of consciousness essay thing to the Blackbox. Go check it out. thehorlavarchive.com/the-blank-ad...

"Youre not supposed to like them" oh that's that old school racism huh

Discovered King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard recently (through Ultrakill admittedly) and this kicks ASS anyone have any recommendations where to start for going further in their discography or do I just rawdog it

me: Crit's a bastard me writing Crit call someone a 'strange little creature' in rp: god i hope that's not too mean

A kindergartener walked up to me today. I know the guy, little dude who likes to say hi to me all the time (our schedules align kinda). He grabs my hand, little ravioli-sized fist over my index finger, and says "My Mom Doesn't Think You're Real!" Reader, it was the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Taught a group of children at the elementary school the word "sickle" when they were looking for "small scythe." Now, whenever they find a stick with a curve, they proclaim they are going SICKLE MODE
