Well I’ve given it maybe one week or one month I’m not sure something like that but substack is incomprehensible as a platform

On the same note — re: the Pitt. Season 2 kind of was a dud, right? it’s not just me?
Been on a very long television based slump I need some good TV to re-energise me into the medium

So in lieu of waiting four to six months for an iPhone Duo I got a burgundy iPhone Oneo and A) it is so beautiful and B) I forgot battery life could be this good???
I thought Substack was like newsletters and stuff. Why the hell did it prompt me to download an app and make an account and then toss an algorithmic ‘for you’ feed in my face. Jump scare!
Genuinely what are we doing with this song edit. Why does it cut to purple rain. Why is it playing over a video of you rearranging your living room
Dear Content Creators, You don't really have to use the new "trending audio" every time. No, that stupid "nestle crunch" jingle doesn't actually match your video, either.
I consider myself quite tech savvy—a digital native, even. Do we still use that phrase or did it die with the tech-optimism of the early to mid 2010s? Anyway. Trying to figure out iCloud will be and actively is the death of me. Why are you so fucking secretive? Are you iclouding or not!!
this is how nintendo describes characters during a direct
I’ve seen enough of these in my decades online, I will simply not participate in that new top 100 shows of all time list. Nope. I have harissa chickpeas and jumbo shrimp to eat
Would very much like the trend of all video games being called NOUNVERB to die please.
Love to have sudden onset panic about ever making it as a published author!!! Love the hurdles I bring upon myself
Underrated part of the Sydney Sweeney gambling ad is she reassures us the app can't be used to bet on wars, the concept no one had heard of like three years ago
I mean if you really want to hear Ed Sheeran without any opening acts you can simply get put on hold with your bank
We yearned to go back to the early 2010s and look Ed Sheeran and Macklemore are back in the headlines
I am so seated for back to back Nintendo and Apple key jangling today. Love to consumer spend! Think of the economy!
schemes are exclusively for viziers and pensions, why is that
hope touches like this are 100% preserved.
That dying guard in Ocarina of Time after Zelda flees the castle has one of my fave text choices, talking to him after he dies: "He's not moving anymore." Most of this is ofc Nintendo sanitising a death, but that wording also just makes sense for 10-year-old Young Link's childish psyche. Great line
"The Legend of Zelda movie is called The Legend of Zelda, please do not expect to see more of it at this time" is an extremely funny update for a movie that's out in like 7 months

One year anniversary of my opening the Google Doc and starting the first page of my manuscript. It’s crazy to think since then it’s been on the desk of editors in all the big publishing houses and imprints. Now did they like it? Mostly no and some pending, but still,
It feels like I’m howling into the winds of social media but I’ve gone and done a comps and tropes list for THEY CRAWLED ACROSS MY BODY. 🐛 #booksky #authorsky #horrorbooks #horrorwriters
Illustrations for my scifi horror novel THEY CRAWLED ACROSS MY BODY. A grieving archaeologist joins an expedition to study an island that has suddenly appeared in the Atlantic — only to discover it’s sentient. An ancient, intelligent organism that doesn’t take kindly to pests. Art by Max Mitenkov.
Maybe back in the Twitter days of my 20s

Today I start writing my pop star horror WIP, Siren! 🎤👹 Very exciting to have a new thread to chase after a difficult year and struggling with my last project. I’ll get back to that one day, but Siren’s song was too loud to put off any longer.
Stark correlation to me quitting vaping and gaining 10kg in the ensuing ten months. I hope my lungs are happy the pricks
