I'm retweeting a retweet of my tweet. I mean, it's usually best to let Julie find the words. She's so good. And check out her awesome show Believer.

Folks. Check out this amazing list. Being on this list is already a win in my eyes.

This is so cool! Fantasy Magazine is a finalist for Fiction Magazine of the Year in the @ThisIsHorror Awards! Along with sister mag Nightmare @NightmareMag and colleagues Apex @apexmag LampLight @lamplightmag & The Dark @thedarkmagazine Go vote!👇🏽 https://t.co/NGuxLakEoF

This has nothing to do with my experience on the site. It's about whether or not I want to support the company/project. I don't want to support Elon Musk, even less so after his recent antics. On the other hand, I like supporting independents.

Meanwhile on my mastodon feed, there are a bunch of threads today saying "Donate to the project, especially your host" and I instantly added it to my Patreon. But if Twitter had asked for a donation? Can you imagine?

Whenever I see an ad, I know its placement is product of some formula to quantize my life, and my first reaction is "F you if you think I'm gonna click," even if it's an interesting ad.

Here's what I like about Mastodon: I don't feel tricked. On the for-profit social sites, I feel like the algorithm is the enemy, designed to trick me into staying longer than I want to. I don't like being manipulated.

After you get past the confusing stuff, Mastodon is a very pleasant way to shout into the void.

I worry that someday I'm gonna wreck my car really bad, and some innocent Samaritan is gonna start pulling me from the flaming wreckage, but the still-functioning stereo is blasting K-pop so they're gonna decide I'm a child molester who isn't worth saving and leave.

For Your Consideration The last two issues of LampLight magazine were a special call. Each of these stories represent the first pro-sale of an author, marking an important step in their journey So I want to offer both issues to you for free, that you may take these short 1/2

I could totally hang on celebrity jeopardy, as long as they also accepted answers like "What is, uh, that river in Paris...it's got a left bank and a right bank, goes past Notre Dame...you know the one, right?"

It's like our middle school Twitter class got a sub who's fresh out of college and really wants to teach us kids some good learning.

Is there a way mute mentions of Twitter on Twitter?

I hope @20korg takes this is spirit it's given: The hell you guys thinking? You can't have the midroll tease be teasing the next *episode*, especially since you never said it was a 2-parter... Great episode so far, but man that's annoying.

I'm offering a new perk: For $8 a month, I'll spend 20 minutes trying to remember your name, and then I'll tell you the same three stories over and over.

I doubt this dude knows about Reaper, but let's hear it for Reaper, the only digital audio workstation that lets you procrastinate by redecorating

My editing super power is that no matter how many SFX you pile into the cut, I can always hear it if you use "Wind Dungeon Moan 2."

Hot take: Mid-Side processing is overrated.

Subscription software is the worst.

Accidentally asked Avid to cut 1660 shots into a timeline. Gonna go brew some coffee...
