The market alone cannot sustain good literature, and no literature will survive the collapse of the biosphere, something thinkable within generations. Not many art discussions, awards, takes will help us escape the machine, but more of them should stick in the gears, and fewer should grease them.

From the Larchives: "Midnight with the gang" is probably my most popular RHPS take. Certainly the most tees I've ever sold on RB. Enjoy :)

Also, this cultural "uncanny valley" gets really weird for science fiction, which is supposed to be about "the future" but was written for a then-contemporary audience (with a then-contemporary understanding of tech/science) so it has two full vectors of cultural shift, running at different speeds

I was just thinking about that meme of the opening sentence of Neuromancer: "The sky was the color of a tv tuned to a dead channel"

And just to make things complicated she has an original song of her own, also called Numb

We like to pretend the endemic use of the present tense in modern fiction is a stylistic choice. But usually it's a cheap way to disguise mediocre prose, lack of structure, or both. It's like a row of showy petunias planted along a house to disguise cracks in the foundation.

weird painting to test out my new inking pen ☀️

watercolor painting- a woman kneels behind a bush, carrying an approximation of an antique musket/rifle (I did not look at reference for this one so the shape is a bit off lol sorry everybody!). She is wearing a wildly impractical but fun outfit- a high cut onepiece with baggy ankle boots, a helmet and a big swan hat/cape.

"Look how much money we're making, we're selling cars!"

"But you're buying them yourself?"

"Yes, which is making me profit, which I use to buy more cars, which makes me more profit!"

"Isn't that just a Ponzi scheme with just one person?"

"Hey, shut up!"
