Just a West Coast guy trying to live for more in an increasingly hostile world. Compassion for neighbors; solidarity with allies; no mercy for those who harm us. 🏳️🌈
I keep having to remind myself that authors throughout history have written masterpieces during tumultuous times. Artists have always had to struggle with the balance of acting for the greater good and creating their works. If they can do, so can we. #WeeknightWriters

It began raining on St Swithin's day. By the fortieth day, something had started knocking beneath the house. It's odd. I've always assumed Poe was right, that my guilt would be a beating heart. I don't know why it's knocking; it's already invited itself in. I'll only worry if it moves up the walls
Eryn McCee@erynmccee.bsky.social · 3w ago#Horrorwriterschat Q3. You know I'm going to make you do microfiction. Well not make, per se. But make. You know. And as it's St. Swithin's Day today, let's not make things come true, eh? Or, you know. Do you. Use your discretion. Ahem.
Infantino really jeopardized his standing as FIFA head by bowing down to Trump so that Balogun could go ahead and play, do absolutely nothing, and the USA gets their ass kicked by Belgium regardless 🤣

If not needing Daddy to fight your battles for you & you win 4 World Cup championship’s was a picture
Has FIFA told us what the final score in Monday’s USA v Belgium game is going to be yet?
Whenever people discuss the modern perils of disagreement framed as "people don't know how to be civil" I think about how civility is what got us to pogroms and concentration camps. It was "friends across the aisle" and lesser evil voting. It was letting bygones be bygones and trusting the process.

Tom Taylorson@taylorson.bsky.social · 3mo agoNaming a video game you've beat more than 6 times is trickier Infinitely so, especially since I tend not to "re-beat" games. I'd have to go to the way-back machine for this... LucasArts' "The Dig" (to see all the possibilities) Or

2025 was the year of Superman and Sinners. I left each screening in awe and wonder. 'Nough said.
Sasquatch@nerdysasquatch.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe fact that some people are still desperately trying to convince you that "2025 was a bad year for movies" and "there are no good movies anymore" tells me that many of these "critics" are frauds who desperately need to see more movies.
