This is a story of six completely, utterly broken individuals, and the ruination of the world that comes from their hurt and sorrow. THE RADIANT KING is out today! (links below)

Cover for the book, The Radiant King: A handsome man in a black robe holding a blood-filled bowl standing in front of a stained glass window showing a broken tower in golden light.

Soon you'll be breaking your kid's piggy bank with a hammer because you absolutely need that new pair of running shoes.

I mean. I'll take $400 for groceries. What do I gotta do? Was it feet pics? I'll send feet pics.

Book I'm writing now has four epilogues, too. I just don't call them epilogues so no one can yell at me.

Autocorrect, please, I meant "assuage", not "sausage". I assure you, the meaning of the sentence is really, really gonna change if someone tries to sausage someone's worries.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

I still remember my phone number from when I was in elementary school some three decades later.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Bosses will be like "here's your skeleton crew so I can eke out 5% more profits" and then be like "but why not 5/5 perfect service happy customers tho?"

A checkout counter asked me to rate my visit 1-5 stars. When I gave it 5, my kid asked me if the visit was "really" a 5 star visit. Queue speech about how anything less than 5 stars gets the workers in trouble, and any issues with service are a lack of staffing problem, not the workers themselves.

Kameron Hurley @kameronhurley.com · 2d

It's so easy to get annoyed w/frontline workers; shit, I take lot of deep breaths: then I remind myself this service experience is a CHOICE made by a massive nickel and diming corporation who refuses to hire appropriate number of people at living wage, with proper equipment to provide this service.
