When I sent my manuscript to @BooksBonfire I wrote that it was something of a mix between Tao Lin and John Cheever. Because the phrases "realist lucid dreams" or "fictional phantasia" didn't occur to me. They sound much better. And very complimentary. THANK YOU BONFIRE BOOKS!!!!

EXCITED IN THE EXTREME to announce that Bonfire Books will publish Jack Norman's debut short story collection, SLEEP CAPRICORN. Set on Queensland's Sunshine Coast and hinterland (Tropic of Capricorn), these stories are deceptively realist lucid dreams of Strayan longing...

WRONG!! Art must dominate. —At its most potent, art can even kill 😈
Krapp's Last Vape@SatireRedactedOct 24
In retrospect, and despite the many hours logged online, it is clear that irony detection only works when your ideological priors are affirmed. So here is the “esoteric” message for those reactionary mystics dabbling in lit: Better art results when you do not desire domination.

59 year old women often suffer from poor self esteem due to their deteriorating bodies and a general senility related to menopause and etc. If the concern would relate to a problematic “power dynamic,” I think a young woman would be much more equipped to handle a coercive man.

The people who think every single piece of art and culture has political meaning somehow doesn't think the welcome to country has any subtext except being nice.

Jump scares are the scariest part of horror movies. I have never seen a scary slow burn that frightened me, except for the parts where they do jump scares!

'OTHER MOMMY’ will feature a jump scare every 2 minutes, according to director Rob Savage. He revealed the film contains around 50 jump scares throughout the 80 minute runtime. In theaters tomorrow.

Australian corporations don’t even try to justify mass migration anymore they just look at you like this
Josh Butler@JoshButlerOct 6
Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry says all three major migration policy plans - Labor, One Nation and today's Coalition - will hurt the economy, urging politicians to "change course" "All of them chase an arbitrary Net Overseas Migration number ahead of productivity"

I have it on good advice that Charlotte Walker plays games on her computer all day & spends at least 4 hours on tiktoc. Her staff do all the real work. She is a child. WTF is Australia doing.

I have many “views” on things, but these are only personal conclusions I have formed which are limited by my own intellect and circumstances. I don’t mind being proven wrong. It happens a lot!
