Oh btw the flip side to this is I’m readying barrages of DMCA takedowns for channels who’ve been profiting off my stuff over the years without paying or talking to me about it first, so if that applies to you...ya know...maybe hmu in the next couple days and we can come to an agreement.
It’s only Critical Race Theory if it’s from the Critical Theory department at Morehouse. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling intersectionality.

Happier Pride: Pat Robertson died.
Aww, that rhymes.
Wake me when the evidence for extraterrestrial UFOs/UAP is literally anything other than a blurry video or a “trust me, bro” story from someone.

My beard is now ten years old. Here’s to another ten.
(I was sexy af when I was 20 though.)
Somewhere there’s a really confused electrical engineering professor wondering why there’s 30 conservative cousin fuckers protesting his lecture on cathode ray tubes.
I absolutely love your story Caviar. I tell my friends to read it any opportunity I get or just to your website in general because most of your stories are Horrifying But In A Good Way. I had at one point a lot of TikToks on my fyp talking about human eggs and their size and what not and each time I got them I just thought about Caviar. I told my mom about the story and then we have a very interesting discussion on if that could be possible in real life and she asked what your inspiration was as if I would know that
This is such a lovely message. I'm tickled that such a creepy story can prompt a thoughtful conversation between someone and their mom -- I think my TikTok FYP was similar to yours because I remember a bunch of those videos, too haha. But please tell mom my inspiration was this:
I'm not exactly a food *snob* but I do really like finding the best versions of dishes that I already like, so I just kinda extrapolated that mentality and played with it to see where it would go. How far would someone go to get the best? The recent movie The Menu did something kinda similar, albeit with a very different tone.

Capture 10,000 moths. Collect the dust from their wings. Snort all the dust. Fly into the sun.
I just wanna say that reading your butt stuff story made me high key afraid to have anything in my butt, which is kinda problematic because I'm very gay
Just look at it this way: six feet of intestines pulled out your asshole equals six more feet of surface area to receive pleasure. When it’s all bundled inside you it’s just sitting there, useless.
I have literally no memory of writing this.
just stoppin by to say your writing has been super inspiring to me, im running a d&d campaign where ill get to dig my hands into grotesqueness (esp mushrooms) and looking at your creative works has really gotten my gears turning to creating creepy events/atmospheres. thanks for makin rad stuff 💖🔥🍄👻😱
That’s so cool! I wish I had the patience to play D+D; it seems like there’s so much fun stuff you can do. Hope you have a great time and don’t be afraid to make your friends uncomfortable with creepy weirdness!
please give us a hint about what your book wil be about?
I'm not going to get into details, but I'll ask a question: for those who've read Runners, in all its horrific, gore-drenched, profoundly-disturbing glory -- what would that look like as utopian science fiction?

And I know this is enormously uncharitable, but it seems like the VAST majority of science fiction properties that get picked up for production are 10% world building with interesting, unique plot lines and 90% fucking interpersonal drama between idiots making obnoxiously bad decisions. The ratio hasn’t always been that skewed, but it’s gotten so. much. worse. lately.
And I’m also not trying to sound like some robot and claim that interpersonal things can’t play a significant and even pivotal role in science fiction. I wasn’t a big fan of Black Mirror in general, but the San Junipero episode was one of the best hours of SF I’ve seen in 20 years. The entire episode was about a beautiful relationship between two people, but it was still able to instill a sense of wonder in the viewer. That sense of wonder is what is missing in so many things lately.
And I know I’m probably being obnoxious about this (sir, this is a Wendy’s), but even though this is a horror blog and I write horror and make horror imagery, my real love is SF, my best writing is based in SF (see: Runners [and my novel in progress cough cough]), and I want people to have the opportunity to experience awe and wonder.
