Hi. I'm Kevin. I do a podcast called Supernatural Selection. It's about three friends discussing the paranormal and conspiracies. We're also pretty woke. We also call out "bookstore racism" like aliens built the pyramids. Give it a listen if that sounds cool.

So right around the time I decided to spend more time on Bluesky, Mississippi passed that stupid age check law. Now I either have to use a VPN to come here and shitpost, or do it at Costco since they apparently don't count as being in Mississippi.
Can I declare my house independent of the state?

Always write your villain like he's the hero of his own story. That's all I'm saying about the chapter I just finished today for Errant Apprentice.

I'm starting to expand more and more past our main cast. Especially as certain characters come into their own. Lance, for instance. I love the idea of a character who Terry inspired, but isn't beholden to Terry's hang-ups. Maybe more socially confident than him.

Rachel comes to The Errant Apprentice in December. She's here to early to make you feel confused about the Deep Ones. Also, Lovecraft is probably rolling in his grave. Good.
