A couple of weeks ago I found myself at a study day for work. We went to some sort of location where we had a guest speaker and then participated in a bunch of workshops. As is normal for work study days, everything took longer than it should have and although there was definitely a … Continue reading Autism and memory

Autism Awareness Month
A lot of these months where we take notice of different people feel a bit like a joke. You can’t be racist during February, and you can’t be homophobic during June, but once the month ends all the profile pictures go back to normal and minorities get pushed to the wayside again. Yet even though … Continue reading Autism Awareness Month
Silent Knight
The moon was out that night. The light it reflected lit up the room enough for him to see. He was wearing his softest boots and made sure to not make any sound. His target was right in front of him, but just a moment ago he’d accidentally hit a plate that was for some … Continue reading Silent Knight
What does the end of the universe look like?
The first thing you would have to do is let me know what exactly you mean with that question. Because if I’m honest, I read this book’s title many years ago and was always sort of fascinated by the idea of a dingy diner that’s just at the very edge of civilization where the weirdest … Continue reading What does the end of the universe look like?
A love letter to the dungeon master

This show sees the time period in which the gods leave Exandria and a few unlikely heroes make their way through a quickly changing world. With Brennan Lee Mulligan telling the story, and Matthew Mercer - the brain behind this world - being one … Continue reading A love letter to the dungeon master
Getting some things off my chest
I try not to talk too much about the downward spiral that a lot of the world is currently experiencing, but my social worker said that writing my frustrations down might help me cope with them, so that’s what I’m doing today. If you’re not looking for unfiltered negative ramblings then please skip this post. … Continue reading Getting some things off my chest
I Confess
You got me. I won’t deny it any longer. The rumors are true. I am the one who killed the Duolingo owl. It threatened to end my friend streak one too many times and I lost it. I repeatedly slammed its head into the diamond tournament trophy. All jokes aside, the Duolingo marketing team is … Continue reading I Confess
Hitch-Hiking through the galaxy
It’s 2025.After all these long years I finally sat down and read Douglas Adams’ The Hitch-Hiker’s guide to the Galaxy. I first heard about this story when I watched the movie about it with a buddy of mine. That’s right, the one with Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent. I don’t remember too much about this … Continue reading Hitch-Hiking through the galaxy
The Unsleeping City
Last summer I got a subscription to Dropout’s streaming service. They’re the people that once formed CollegeHumor and then started Dropout a while ago. I mainly know about them through Brennan Lee Mulligan, who I know of as being a fantastic storyteller. I talked about his Worlds Beyond Number project on this blog before. Dropout … Continue reading The Unsleeping City
My personal beef with Michael J. Sullivan
It all started well over a decade ago, when I was still young and an aspiring writer full of hopes, dreams and most importantly the knowledge that the stories I wrote were really good. So when I saw that a published fantasy author was giving feedback to beginning writers, I figured I’d show him the … Continue reading My personal beef with Michael J. Sullivan
