When I was watching Scott’s Thoughts YouTube video on Vespiquen in a Pokemon Platinum solo run, he said something interesting. He was talking about how we need to save the bees, which I entirely agree with. But for those saying that such a discussion doesn’t belong in a Pokemon video, his response is that these…

There’s a moment just before sleep when the world slips off like a robe—heavy, clinging, and familiar. You’re not dreaming yet. But you’re no longer quite awake. Time stutters. The room exhales. Your body begins to forget its obligations. This is the first drift, the beginning of our unwinding. We don’t rush toward dreams, but…

If we want to define a Neo-Modernist (or what I like to call post-postmodernist orientation), we’ll need shared terms for epistemological fatigue, spiritual data hoarding, authenticity glitches, narrative refusal, and meta-compassion fatigue. To this end I started the Ineffable Index, as I develop terms to help me anchor some concepts in name which are otherwise…

There’s a quiet pressure in both digital and physical spaces to always be making. Many content creators get into the feedback loop of Post, Record, Publish, and Perform. It’s as if visibility itself has become a modern virtue. But a couple years ago, I gave up on creating content for the algorithm. I don’t speak…

Christianity, at least in its most accessible, franchised form, is like McDonald’s. You don’t have to look for it—it finds you. Neon promises of salvation on every corner, identical services dressed up in regional accents, all offering the same combo meal: sin, confession, redemption. I’ve come to see churches as chain restaurants of the worst…

The next time someone corners you to tell you how amazing their pyramid-shaped miracle business is, tell them you’re a Problem Solver for Hire. It sounds mysterious and efficient, like a secret agent with a clipboard. Nobody knows exactly what it means, but everyone wants one. Why? Because most people have no clue how to…

In my teenage years, I came to realize that angels and demons are actually the same thing, but spiritually polar opposites; it is then our place as mere mortal beasts cursed with divine reason to decide ultimately which side of the pendulum attracts us most. There’s a moment in adolescence—especially for those of us wired…

There are days when everything feels like too much—like the very structure of reality is just slightly tilted, and you’re the only one noticing the slope. On those days, grand wisdom and motivational speeches just ricochet off your skin. But a small affirmation? That might make it through. Kate Cassidy recently said in her video…

Some time ago, while sifting through some old articles I wrote for the writing advice book I never bothered to finish, I stumbled across this passage that I decided to file away for later: “Write for you first, always. Just focus on getting your thoughts out of your head and onto a tangible medium. You…

Life has become like a shitty MMO RPG with strategic elements. While this might sound like a spicy critique of modern life, it’s hard not to see some frightening comparisons when we start seriously criticizing the systems we find ourselves trapped in: bureaucracy, career ladders, performative social media quests, productivity tracking, even gamified apps that…
