I was part of the cast and the technical directore for a Rocky Horror Picture Show shadowcast for just under three years, fifteen years ago. The cast I was on did a performance literally every Saturday night at midnight, and I was at almost every show during that time. Yeah, I was kind of insane,… Continue reading I used to be on a Rocky Horror Picture Show Shadowcast

Media Piracy Isn’t Inherently Revolutionary, You Weirdos
So we’re in the middle of an organized boycott of Disney products because of their response to government pressure to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air. Great cool. Kimmel’s back on the air as I write this, so it looks like it might have worked. But honestly, who knows! Yay government overreach! In those exact… Continue reading Media Piracy Isn’t Inherently Revolutionary, You Weirdos
On the Passing of a Matriarch
Yesterday, September 10th, 2025, I received the call from my mom that my maternal grandmother had died. This is where I have to frame this properly because my grandmother hasn’t been Granny for a number of years, at this point. The past few years, in particular, it was a genuine surprise every time she managed… Continue reading On the Passing of a Matriarch
Peacemaker: The Deconstruction of a Pathetic Asshole
With the new season coming out and the sort of emergence of the new DC movie continuity, I was like…oh, I should watch Peacemaker. I had seen The Suicide Squad and Creature Commandos, so it was an easy show to roll into, already being familiar with the character. Binged it up through the first episode… Continue reading Peacemaker: The Deconstruction of a Pathetic Asshole
I Don’t Need to Tell You Censorship Laws are Bad, but Do You Realize How Bad They Really Are?
There was this trend of conversation on BookTok for a bit, but outside that I still occasionally see conversations about wanting a book rating system similar to the MPAA or ESRB. I've said in a TikTok before, and I'll say again, "no you don't." Especially not in the current climate when so many books are… Continue reading I Don’t Need to Tell You Censorship Laws are Bad, but Do You Realize How Bad They Really Are?

The Summer of Capes and Worldbuilding
I’m a fantasy and science fiction writer, so, of course I study worldbuilding. As opposed to the worldbuilding itself, I rather like to examine the implementation of it. My favorite style tends to be “I’ll tell you what you need to know for the next little bit, then move on.” I don’t particularly for long… Continue reading The Summer of Capes and Worldbuilding
We Need the Term Graphic Novel to Actually Mean Something
If I talk about a “graphic novel” vs a “comic” in a very casual way, you’d probably generally understand what kind of distinction I’m trying to make there. At the same time, comic book writers haven’t always had a positive interaction with the term “graphic novel.” Alan Moore is famous for relegating it to a… Continue reading We Need the Term Graphic Novel to Actually Mean Something

Your John 3:16 Car Sticker Makes Me Nervous
The first June in our first house, I put out a Pride flag on the already installed flagpole mount. This was in a blue dot in a red state, in 2016 ish, at the incipient rise of modern Rainbow Capitalism. I had been pretty solid on the pan-ace thing for awhile but non-binary was still… Continue reading Your John 3:16 Car Sticker Makes Me Nervous
