More #Schattenfroh notes shortly over at open.substack.com/pub/schatten.... This week, I’ve gotten sucked back into Hamlet for my final paper, and also this 1,000 plus lot of vintage ACE and DAW sci-fi MMPs… but more on that later.

So I’ve begun a Substack where I keep detailed reading notes on #Schattenfroh, a new novel from #DeepVellum claimed by some to be a masterpiece (I tend to agree so far). Read or spread it around, if you can. I’m working hard on this.

It’s definitely easier that way.

This kind of thing is why I sort of hate talking with people about writing.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Women also fall behind in proving they’re woefully incapable of running this world…

Beautiful. I’m jealous of the walk it took to take those.

If you ever say or even imply that a fellow human being isn’t really human (or AS human as, say, you), then fuck you. Fuck you forever. Fuck you, fuck your mother, fuck your life.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

I, too, agree and disagree here. I think I know what you were stabbing at.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Honestly, is there anything better than 1) stop-motion animation 2) distant future dystopian cities with deep, inaccessible ground levels, and 3) labyrinths?

Or even better: all the books.
