I don’t have books to sell (because magazines pay me upfront) but I do love being *read*

So, here’s a thread of my short fiction, available in text/audio for free:

Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained.

Forgive the cobbled-together feel of this, but eat up!

Excited to see how many employers want to make this tool available to or mandatory for employees when it becomes chiefly used for porn

This is a salient point, but my main takeaway is they’re not seeing the returns they want selling it as “productivity software” so they have to go after the porn market.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

No thank you, I've seen how people handle someone mildly disagreeing about books on here

You can spend all day quibbling online for dopamine points or you can log off and actually do the thing you want people to think you do

I keep typing up takes and then deleting them and doing something real, so I guess my take is: stop posting and start writing.

I don’t even care if you’re being sarcastic, because I want you to have vegetables.

It’s a tray of pre-washed, pre-cut veggies, usually broccoli, cauliflower, and baby carrots, with a dip, usually ranch, and you can get it at the grocery store. Literally no prep involved for easy vegetables.

Silent Hill f thoughts: first 75% whipped ass, last 25% was a tedious slog.

BUT apparently you need to play it at least twice to get the whole story, so stay tuned.

So is Tuesday still a national day of mourning? Or are we just pretending he never said that?

Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI
