"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.

"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I can't believe Elon Musk called me a groomer and made me lose my job, all the while he'd begged Epstein to let him rape children.

I’m trying my hand at YouTube, at the moment it’s an extension of my blog, but who knows? It’s always been something I’ve considered attempting, but after my time in hospital, I’ve decided to go for it! #booktube

Weird how all these shitty people who make the world shitty every time they interact with the rest of us are all over the Epstein files.

A genuinely thought-provoking exploration of a complex body of work, and the ugly curdling of a fandom hero into a predator. Elizabeth Sandifer’s work never fails to impress.

I had the pleasure of talking to Fanbase Press about my work on Cwej Odyssey--a sci-fi roadtrip across the American Midwest complete with cryptids and characters who tap into our own mental health journey. It was a good chat, so check it out!

Okay Doctor Who fans, how long do we think the Wish World in Wish World lasted? Obviously May 23rd repeated itself over and over... but how much time cumulatively did everyone spend in it during that reality?
