@weirdoslam punk is just "you know, i really like sick riffs and basslines...but i could do without all the keyboard solos"

@weirdoslam i think this is how most art works to be honest

So much of my writing is "What if this thing I liked didn't have the boring shit I don't like in it"

@weirdoslam fuck 'em

i'm done with twitter i think. not only am i no longer afraid to speak my mind on mastodon because i know the mods aren't cops who work with fascists to suppress all anti-fascist talk that goes beyond polite disagreement, but also twitter is just terrible in general?

people on there will repeatedly make unfounded, unresearched statements as fact, and then try to pass it off as if you're the problem if you say "uh, actually, i don't think that's right".

like, don't get me wrong, i've had arguments with anti-nuclear-power types on Mastodon but those people don't have ridiculously large followings ready to back them up even when they're wrong

twitter's just a toxic and tribalistic environment that creates dogpiling and brigading strategies and even algorithmically prioritises them. i'm fucking sick of it. i don't really want to go back there

Hey you!

Are you a fan of Neil Gaiman, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and/or Doctor Who? Do you like urban fantasy? Do you like stories about cool girls who kick ass?

Then you should check out my web serial, Rollerskater — currently on its second instalment with more forthcoming.

It's weird, violent and funny, and has been very well received. I hope you check it out!

Hey uh so I wrote a whole-ass novel called THE MALCONTENT OF MARS and I've been serialising it over the last few weeks, and the eighth chapter just went up!

If you want to read it and support it by boosting it, I'd really appreciate it! Click the link below for the blurb page and the table of contents.

(cw for themes of trauma and abuse, also cw for scenes of strong bloody violence)
