Now that I'm a serious writer, I never leave the house without my: a) fancy wood pen with fancy wood foldy case b) tungsten carbide-tipped, screw-sealed, full-steel body, tactical pen #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #writing #pens

Cleaned some cobwebs out the corners of the archive. Had to crack the ol finger bones and break out some CSS, but I'm happy with it (changes literally so inconsequential, bonus points to any brave soul who can even tell what's different) degen3rate.art #web-development #WriterSky #Writing

Zapped the active post tags on my blog from +600 to ~70... maybe Google will stop yelling at me now I think it's mostly for indexing and page ranking, but I guarantee my SEO manager WILL come up with another creative way to waste an evening of mine... #web-development #WritingCommunity #WriterSky

A horrifying meditation on the deceit of power, society, religion, and masculinity--a desperate, unrestrained scream into the void that brutally renders the invisible yet systemic mutilation of our humanity, autonomy, and identity degen3rate.art/2024/09/01/r... #DarkArt #horror #poetry #epic #poem

Writing pro tip: There's no "correct" way to write. Really, there's just a million "wrong" ways to write. The more flaws you remove from your work, the more resonant it becomes. Focus on what you're doing wrong, not what you "need" to do. Cut the noise; you'll find your voice. #Writing #WriterSky

If you have sensed it down in your bones, there is something deeply wrong with it all, believe not for a moment that you are alone. 'Chains and Stones' degen3rate.art/2025/05/11/c... #poetry #booksky #poems #oppression #freedom #humanity #society #empathy #photography #MicroPoem #MicroPoetry

One of my unreleased shots from last year. Taken from the peak of Brasstown Bald. The hike up in virtually utter darkness was spiritual, but we were hardly alone at the mountaintop observatory. Stargazers are a brave sort of folk. #moon #dark #darkart #photography #stars #sky #astronomy

I'm a bit proud of how this baked French toast came out It was like a super decadent, spicy, buttery, bread pudding with just the right amount of crunch #foodie #food #foodpics #dessert #baking

If you've ever lost someone dear to you... perhaps due to a mistake... a misunderstanding... an overstep... then you will probably know what this is. 'Mostly' degen3rate.art/2025/05/02/m... #writers #booksky #poetry #poem #dark #darkpoetry #photography #love #mentalhealth

a tragedy of modern lit is a need for a character to be either desirable or a suitable self-insert (usually for horny purposes) this is the rot of "beauty is a virtue" that's pervasive in the West I love ugly, shameless, deplorable, inexcusably human characters #writing #OC #writers #fiction

Unverified satellite imagery of the El Salvadorian prison, CECOT. Compelling and potentially terrifying, but what we do know is that people are already dying merely due to the conditions at the prison. Don't let this be censored. #resist #CECOT #ElSalvador #3e #3r #revolution #ICE #censorship

When writer's block stops me from working on what I really want to, I take a step back and write something completely self-indulgent. All for me. No pressure. Nobody else's eyes. May bury or burn it after. Or maybe it turns into a series... Either way, it gets the mojo flowin. #writing #writers
