Thank you!! ๐ I do love to torment people. As for what comes next in the storyโฆnext monthโs missive will certainly have (some) answers!
I have friends who like it because the algorithm has anointed them as someone free from torment, but oh my god every time I've ever opened it, it makes me never want to publish a book ever ever ever ever ever again
the world may be dark and times are tough but at least I'm not spending a single second of my life on threads
Iโm so sorry ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ and also Iโm having the time of my life
um. right. so. do I need to stop writing fiction or do I need to start getting *very specific* in my fiction and move into political thrillers. bc this is the second thing in as many weeks that has jumped from my projects to headlines
January 10th, 1946 One year. Itโs been one year.
The next missive for New Yearโs Day goes live tomorrow for patrons and Wednesday for the public! Are you caught up on this ultra slow burn about two rival magicians who accidentally become immortal? โจโจAre you ready for what comes next? newyearsdaypodcast.com
a daily beast bluesky post about someone threatening to burn down Open AI's HQ
a post from Chad Loder about the employee who burned down their workplace warehouse in CA
um. right. so when I wrote TWO THOUSAND AND LATE, I wasn't writing instructions.
please mr arson investigator I'm innocent I make fiction

I've always hated april fool's day (april 1st is like the thunderdome for kids who were being bullied in school lol) but in recent years it has been a delight for two reasons:
the atypipals conduct psychological warfare by mishapocalypsing me
and tumblr always does something goofy
(obviously equally true if you replace it with "where you can be trans! I'm just not, so I get the delight of knowing ๐ )
a screenshot of a tweet from @tonyhawktruther that originally reads "NASA just revealed a heaven-like planet where you can drink a beer at the lake. And they're calling it Earth" except it's been altered to say "where you can know trans people"
Happy TDOV! ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ

I tried to find Issue 5 at local comic stores to bring with me to WonderCon and EVERYWHERE WAS SOLD OUT ๐ฎ
given how fucking expensive it is to engage with most scripted fictional media it is right now: here is a reminder that there are unbelievably gorgeous fiction PODCASTS out there. they are FREE. you can engage in them while CLEANING or PLAYING VIDEO GAME. for FREE
Monthly audio drama office hour is tomorrow! The best way to view these things/ask questions live is to sign up for our free Patreon at atypipals.com but you can also view the livestream on the @atypicalartists.co channels on YouTube and Twitch.
2pm PT, Friday the 27th!
fuck generative AI and also support @404media.co
this plus the sora news...
it's true!! you can follow people on Patreon for free!! that is honestly the best way to keep up with everything I'm up to these days and now that I have access to quips (Patreon's form of bluesky/twitter) I'm sure I'm gonna be gabbing up a storm there: atypipals.com
It's been a very busy three months and the quarterly newsletter I write for @atypicalartists.co sums it all up! I'm using @beehiiv.com now (not expensive like squarespace, not filled with nazis like substack) and also recording an audio version! atypicalquarterly.beehiiv.com/p/march-2026

ME: oh a little Zohran video for St Patrick's Day, probably just celebrating Irish culture, maybe a few green beer jokes
ZOHRAN (2 minutes in): ...and that's why King Leopold I of Belgium is a big wet bitch. Furthermore...
finally, a true one-stop-shop for all the disparate pieces of The Bright Sessions universe that I've scattered across the internet over the last decade. hey, remember that Sam had a wordpress? because I sort of didn't until I started gathering this stuff
they're saying its the slowest a slow burn has ever slow burned
yayyyy!! so glad you got it!!!
My book publishes today! It's got everything I know about making audio drama! I'm so proud to have it out in the world!
