Fuck it. I unearthed the old tumblr account that I never used from years ago. If this garbage fire actually burns out, you can follow me here (though I do not advise it): https://t.co/Xr67YR1Hp2

@hearthandcoffin Write. Nothing will make you better at writing than writing.

@BadWritingTakes I've recommended it before, but the Mage Errant series by @john_bierce scratches the exact HP itch while being better in just about every regard

@BrendanBlaber Citadels is a card game that's similar, saboteur is secret traitor game that's close, sparticus - a game of blood & treachery (literally the name), maybe lifeboats it's not as trap-forward but it's maybe the most cut-throat, escape from Atlantis has some stuff...

@VaushV Get a drip coffee maker and grind your beans fresh, you're like 80% of the way there for 10% of the effort

...Man, I haven't posted here in a while. Anyway, I'm not sure how much I should be saying, but it's my birthday tomorrow, so I certainly won't be on Twitter. That being the case, I ask anyone interested in my work to look to @MagazineCape tomorrow for no particular reason.

@BrendanBlaber "Average relationship utterly life-changing" factoid actually just statistical error. Average relationship 'just okay', Jello 'Loves Love' apocalypse, who can form meaningful relationships with food applications is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

@GhoulishBooks Zip-ties, a first-aid kit, road flares, a can of gas, a fire axe, local ordnance survey map, and a snickers? All good, man, love the mask by the way. You want a laundry pen too? I know it can be hell to get stains out of overalls

[Impractical Occultist @I_Occultist]

@GhoulishBooks Not sure if this is what you're going for, but I could totally see myself riding a till at, like, a gas-station or convenience store on the edge of town, and going down as an accomplice for just fully not questioning any number of Jason Voorhees' weird purchases

[Impractical Occultist @I_Occultist]

@GhoulishBooks I'm not entering because my shipping address is awkward right now, but I do want to pitch my plan: bamboo. Get a bunch of bamboo seeds, get upstairs, and start throwing them at zombies. That stuff grows with a vengeance, in two months flat your walking corpses are a still forest

[Impractical Occultist @I_Occultist]

@MagazineCape I'm just hoping it'll shake a chapbook out of me in time for the @AtomicBohemian deadline

[Impractical Occultist @I_Occultist]

Love seeing that @MagazineCape is open for a submission because I inevitably have nothing, panic, enter a fugue state some time in the next couple of days and wake up with a new piece that I really like out of the deal.

Mangoes are the best argument against nihilism

@tacopok @EpithetErased True enough. Still, he is the first of the Roughhouses, and some deeds will ever echo through time

[Impractical Occultist @I_Occultist]

@tacopok @EpithetErased The Implication that Xerxes isn't deranged is wild to me

[Impractical Occultist @I_Occultist]

@heydusti Crystal caves. Get some cool rocks, posters of crystal formations, a bat plushie or two, maybe a salt lamp and some fossils

[Impractical Occultist @I_Occultist]

@RoseMalanaWrite Not another D&D podcast is fun, depending on your taste. Heavily recommend dimension twenty if you can get the audio version, also Hardcore Heroes &/or Shenanigans by Koibu, if you like something more old-school. I also like dicing with death by him, for something one-on-one.

@TBQuarterly 'Eat your chicken bones' is going to be the next 'make your coffee at home'-style money-saving tip our rich overlords peddle.

[Impractical Occultist @I_Occultist]

@RoseMalanaWrite sure thing

[Impractical Occultist @I_Occultist]

@RoseMalanaWrite I read tarot, and am free if you want
