Writer of stuff. Thirtysomething old fuck. Weird Baltimore person. Just realized I could do this. Bask in my computer illiteracy: https://books2read.com/ap/nEJQpv/Zofia-Warwick Lover of most things puppetry related, offbeat, and anti-establishment.

Excerpted from the paper: It's clear from the data that the urban Indian population is disparately experiencing homelessness, and addressing this will make a significant impact on a city’s overall unhoused population — but it requires a culturally-aware approach.

With the upcoming Indigenous People's Day on October 13 I want to link a paper for everyone's perusal: datasmart.hks.harvard.edu/addressing-n....

This is a breakdown of the risk of homelessness among native populations within urban areas and what organizations are active in providing aid.

(Kind of want to challenge the horror community to write similar x-rated/not x-rated material to poke a little fun at advertising driven censorship. Sure, Revlon's probably not looking to sponsor Leatherface, but Leatherface needs a place to exist.)

Getting everything out of my head in a flurry while it's still fresh and then realizing I've peppered my doc with just the wildest typos. (Out for our seems to be a favorite.)

You should listen to them. My readers now have twinkling streams of urine so clear they rival springs in the Dolomite Alps.

Maybe make it a bit punchier with action: A hot, arid wind blew as Moonstone's sole (or central if it's in the middle of the city and there are more of them) clock tower chimed five bells. The suns were setting, low on the horizon beyond the city limits. (Etc. etc. from here on.)

Curiosity Never Killed the Writer has been recently indispensable for me. Also, there are a lot of mags that post contests/submission openings on here. (The list is exhaustive. Try a search leading with 'submissions.')

Guys: for your consideration, a vampire story.

#graphichorror #nobloodnoviolenceplsvampires #ijustdid

Backdrop: city and moon.
His teeth bore down, sharp ripping and rending the supple flesh.
Eyes dark with primordial hunger. The red juices ran.
The creature's lips twitched, and curled, and coveted.
The fruit opened, spilling its seed.
Wet dribbled down the foul creature's chin, and it nibbled greedily.
He wrestled with his terrible jaw and tried muscling it whole into his maw.
It was a tomato, and he was a squirrel.

There was a vampire present too, but it was off somewhere else, doing something too graphic for the page.

Drafting to be sure, coupled with researching. It's fun to have those manic bursts of authorial mightiness.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

Shower thought of the day: why does aquatic mint toothpaste taste overwhelmingly of cucumber? Who's bringing the ocean life the land cucumber for them to get such a strong association with it?

It's never going to stop being deeply upsetting to see how effective and far-reaching even a student protest is in say, a country like Serbia and then to see business as usual here despite the death toll and the abhorrent human rights abuses. The willful ignorance of our countrymen is chilling.

One of these days making something based in an SFX creature workshop would be outstanding.

I'd certainly write one that was more successful with the old humanities education, one that has retired at a young age to a houseboat drifting off some lovely intertidal archipelago in a damp but not agonizingly humid part of the world.

A while back I probably made mention of a script I wrote in the span of about a week. Here is said script, raw and wriggling. About a slasher and the joys of painting.
