Haikus as chapter titles are just fun.

As a pagan, particularly one with an affinity towards Apollo and Artemis. Rick Riordan’s Trials of Apollo have a special place for me. The first book in the series used to be my favorite, I wasn’t really into book three. But book four? Book four is really something wonderful. The way it talks about pain, abuse, andlife. The fact that these are intended for middle-grade kids and have such an honest talk about such things gives me hope. While this isn’t...

It’s Release Day for Suicide by Ghost!

Spiritually divorced from the church. former exorcist Ryan Macy is finding his own path as a ghost hunter.

When he’s called to a church to investigate a demon possession, what he finds is unexpected and, perhaps, just as divinely in need: A seventeen-year-old kid named Andrew. Ryan is certain something evil lives within the house: home-grown hate. Kicked out for being gay, Andrew...

On Death Stranding, Queerphobia, and Rape Culture

This tweet was brought to my attention and I’d like to go over it.

In the following text, I will break down line by line this the above is just biblically old homophobia, recycled queerphobia in general, as well as sexism and rape culture.


The title says an “Asexual World” not a “Celibate World” not “A Population In Decline.” An asexual world. Many times casual acephobia would use those two words to mean the same, but what Death Stranding does is even worse. 

Line one and two reads: “Widespread aversion towards physical contact and intimac...

Book Announcement!

I’m so excited, I’m just going to copy paste the announcement here.
