Aw, pants, people are following me now. I guess I’ll post something eventually.

In the meantime, I welcome all Xitter refugees to hang out here and share war stories. It’s been rough.

At a screening of Conan the Barbarian, and the theatre is playing the soundtrack for Conan the Destroyer while we wait. This is not the hype I think they think it is.

(Also @schwarzenegger.bsky.social is two rows behind me everyone be cool.)

@davesikula.bsky.social Oh hey! Great to see you on here!

Good to know!

I…must have…that fabric…

If anyone needs me I’ll be spending the next hour obsessively googling nerdy button options.

The AMPTP wanting arbitration to be conducted by a group of rotting corpses seems stunningly on brand.

Women are not hot-swappable components. I can’t believe I have to say this in 2023.

I’m saltier about this than usual because of a contract I *didn’t* walk away from and arguably should have. Or at least travelled back in time with the lawyer I can now afford, to warn my younger self to redline that shit.

Along with @brianschirmer.bsky.social , I am 2 for 2 on walking away from a bad contract, and the publisher in question going bust six months later. What they tell you about having big plans for the long term is bullshit. The plans are vapourware.

You dapper bastard.

KIERON.

Goldarnit. Next time!

Wait, you’re in LA?

That makes a whole two of us!

Totally misread the movie as DEAD END DRIVE IN, which - if you haven’t already seen it - would probably be your jam! Nasty little Australian dystopian dieselpunk with some very cool world building.

Aww, you’re too kind.

@misscecil.bsky.social, happy to help if you wanna hit me up over email.

You’re such an annoyingly good writer I keep forgetting you can do this too. Y’talented bastard.

It blows my mind that people are following me on here despite the fact that I do basically nothing.

Perhaps some day I shall be motivated to do basically something.

My favourite thing about my robot vacuum is the little bastard’s persistence.

“I. Will. Clean. Under. This. Chair. So. Help. Me. THUNK.”

Oh hey!

You’re a very compelling Muppet.
