I am once again sharing a new chapter of my #scifi #horror novella, The Helper. In chapter 9, July creeps closer to the end of her journey and begins to face her worst memories of the Maze.

If you're stuck at the family gathering with nothing to do, on the couch slipping into a holiday food coma, or just need a distraction today, I invite you to give this short essay a read. Thoughts on Christmas and capitalism.

I wrote about the little corners of the internet that feel like ours, the hyper-specific artifacts from the past that stay with us, and changed us.

For me, that's playlists.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

A year ago, I published my horror novella The Helper, the longest story I've ever released.

It follows July, a woman trapped in a mysterious and horrible maze of metal and glass with no idea how she got there. And something wants her dead.

Marvel fans, casual enjoyers, moviegoers: let's talk about Bob.

Most people who see Marvel's Thunderbolts are impressed by how well it explores mental health issues like depression.

I was, too. So I wrote an essay about it, and you can read it here:

A lot of this stuff IS cool, but how many will make it to stores? If the body-scanning mirror isn't another Theranos waiting to happen, could the average person afford it?

It's only been 1 day of CES 2025, and the announcements have already been incredible.

The 10 most impressive reveals of CES 2025 so far:

1. A 360° AI-powered body scanning health mirror that can scan your heart, weight, and metabolic health

Oh hell yeah, bruther, it's time for a new chapter of my #scifi #horror novella, The Helper. In chapter 7: what is The Maze? Why are the Slaps changing? And how does July seem to be able to feel them coming? #WritingCommunity

Was unexpectedly laid off from @MotherJones on Friday the 13th. I’ve been deprived of direct access to my Google Drive, which contains 7 years worth of work. And am also ineligible for unemployment. A terrible Christmas for me and my family.

If you have leads for work, pls lmk.

The next chapter of my sci-fi horror novella drops soon, but in the meantime, I dug into @tvglowmovie for my latest pop culture essay about suppressing change in our lives out of fear.

If you want some escapism about now, chapter five of my creep-tastic dark sci-fi novella is live on @Medium. A tiny clue about the Maze, the sad case of Egan, and the Slaps are changing.
