My short story "Orchard of Faces" will be in this new Fascination anthology! And I'm also one of the authors offering a short story edit for the kickstarter, so might be worth checking out, ya know?
Launched today! Our new anthology Fascination, edited by @rhondaparrish.bsky.social is live on Kickstarter. Fungi, poppets, witches & other creatures that should be cozy, but absolutely aren't. Check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tyc...
About ten seconds into reviewing a reality show for the first time, my inbox is now a PR hell.

Anyway, I wrote a whole bunch about Love is Blind and its new season and you.

makes perfect sense that Marvel finally made a great TV show and then decided to forget about it

I did it. I ranked all the Stanley Kubrick movies. Now I can rest.

Happy official Puerto Rico Day according to me. Here’s a short story I wrote last year about the only Puerto Rican food truck in the Bay Area. Fun fact, the real truck this (fictional) story is based on has catered for Bad Bunny a couple times so there is that
Magical Pork
To save his business, a struggling food truck owner needs a real miracle to turn things around.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

me personally, I don't want to just refer to them as nazis and fascists. I want to get to the point where "maga" is itself a slur in reference to incomprehensible evil.

Better to have too many ideas than too little but they need to budget for more episodes. Oh & other than Steph escaping, we don't really need to see Vaults 31 & 32 anymore.
Feels like they tried to avoid taking too long to make season 2 like Severance, but inexperienced showrunners, too many ideas.

Fallout Season 2's finale was a big mess, but an ambitious mess. The highs are high and the lows are low with this series, but I just keep on loving the audacity.

Here's my review for @inbetweendrafts.bsky.social

I wrote a painfully long essay about Bridgerton’s best-worst season, specifically where it fumbles the ball on its class politics ⬇️
Why 'Bridgerton's best season might also be its most frustrating - InBetweenDrafts
'Bridgerton's best season so far is almost certainly its Season 4 Cinderella redux. But it reveals one of the show's most glaring flaws.

you know how every game of thrones episode ends with a hacky mobile game ad where you fight dragons and wars and stuff? they should do the same thing with bridgerton
