 Sometimes I write, sometimes I code, sometimes I make a racket like a heavy metal toad. Some call me Bitter. WELCOME! Poke around a bit. That's why it's here.

““If you write, fix pipes, grade papers, lay bricks or drive a taxi - do it with a sense of pride. And do it the best you know how. Be cognizant and sympathetic to the guy alongside, because he wants a place in the sun, too. And always…always look past his color, his creed, his religion and the shape of his ears. Look for the whole person. Judge him as the whole person.””

The Gowrow. Arkansas, USA January 31, 1897, possible earlier sightings. One such incident seems to be the shooting of the dragon-like Gowrow on January 31 1897. Supposedly the posse of townsfolk found its lair, a cave that was littered about with human and animal remains. The creature came out of the nearby lake and was eventually shot multiple times, but not before biting off one person’s leg and uprooting trees. Supposedly it was 20 feet long, with tusks, and a row of small horn-spikes down its back. Its tail was long and thin, and ended in a blade-shaped spike. #gowrow #staycurious #cryptids #cryptozoology #UofCZ #staycurious #nativelore #cryptozoologyuniversity #paranormal #creeps (at Arkansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwm9nvalYZX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sme669ci34ln

ゴウロウ【Gowrow】

米国アーカンソー州の山岳地帯に棲息するといわれる巨大なトカゲ型UMA。19世紀末に住民がゴウロウと戦ったという逸話も伝わる。湖から現れた怪物は射殺されたが、足を食いちぎられた者もいたという。怪物は、体長2メートルで牙があり、背中には小さな角のようなトゲが一列に並び、細長い尾が生えていたという。また、怪物の棲家となっていた洞窟には、人骨や動物の死骸が散乱していたという。

"I think we should see the fear of gays, drag queens, etc. as part of the same thing as defunding libraries, increasing cops, anti-homelessness, true crime—it's all about demonizing all public space and culture.

It is much easier to control people when they are lonely, isolated, and do not experience anything outside of individualized, corporate-controlled spheres of influence.

It's a self-feeding system. The less you are exposed to the diversity of experience inherent to public spaces, the more you want to replicate the tightly-controlled world you inhabit. The more scared you become. Thus more willing to support what replicates your privatized world." -P.E. Moskowitz

Hi Mr. Gaiman!

You recently answered a question about having to pay to use song lyrics in published work. I was wondering- does the same apply for quotes from other published literature? I see a lot of books and film quote other books and poems.

Thanks!

No, because one line of a song or poem is a substantial part of a song. One line from a book or film is probably going to be fair usage.
