An Analysis of Geekdom
Normally I find this topic so profoundly uninteresting, and so motivated by marketing, that I cannot even, as the kids say. But this post encapsulates so much of what I dealt with as a young adolescent that I can’t not pass it on. Something of being a Geek lies in the aesthetic rejection of modern society, a… Read More An Analysis of Geekdom
Unnamed Journal 13 and A Callback to a Mad Emperor
I don’t care what you say, that’s just cool. This first of our quarterly issues contains a whole mess of cool jazz, which you don’t need me to tell you about, because it’s right there on the cover.

A Series of Thoughts on The Last Jedi
It’s not 1999 anymore. I don’t actually care whether you liked TLJ or not, and I have no intention of telling you your opinion is wrong.

The Party is Live. Repeat. The Party is Live.
It took a lot longer than expected, but she’s up and she’s ready to meet the world. It’s very gratifying to see an idea that sat as a mere aspiration in the back of my head come to life. I’ve sweated over it, and it’s completely unlike anything I’ve ever written. You know what to… Read More The Party is Live. Repeat. The Party is Live.
