Reintro post time I suppose. I'm Casey. Writer, poet, photographer, game developer, drummer. My bio is light on work identifiers, but you may have found me via my web novel INTO THE MIRE or my work on Mini Motorways, flavour text on Magic: the Gathering, or Darkest Dungeon II!

i just learnt that a hockey player here in the UK got kicked out of a game because he took a penalty, left the penalty box to the stands while serving it, and came back to the ice with a pair of glasses for the referee, and i maintain that things shouldn’t be illegal if they’re also hilarious

The Westness brooch-pin formed part of a Viking-Age grave disturbed by a farmer at Westness, Rousay, Orkney, #OTD in 1963. It is silver decorated with gold, amber and glass. The grave contained the remains of a young woman and newborn child. 📸National Museums Scotland

This is kind of a niche one, but the US & state governments really only started to care about the immense amount of abuse, incest, fraud, and brainwashing happening in fundamentalist Mormon enclaves within the last like, 15-20 years. I thought it would never happen at all

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

The non-fundie LDS church pours a tremendous amount of money, effort, social pressure, and legislative infiltration and overreach to avoid drawing attention to anything that makes it look bad. I always figured they were too locally powerful for anything to ever breach that. Nice to be wrong

Remember when I yelled about this one a lot in Early Access? Go get your mitts on the whole bologna

As an author represented by a UK agency, I didn't hesitate a minute to sign this letter. Industry friends with UK booksellers and publishers, I urge you to do same. It's an unfortunate fact that these types don't care about the impact of their actions until it makes them look foolish on home soil

I said this elsewhere, but this is very unfair to cucks. Vibe coders don't care at all what's in their projects, but while cucks are extremely invested in what's going inside their wives. 😔

Unusually preachy PSA post from me but hey, have you talked to your family about your medical wishes if you are incapacitated? Lost someone to a long illness recently and it caused a lot of very stupid fighting between people who could have been enjoying their time with her instead. Food for thought

Your relatives probably don't wanna spend your last days arguing over "what you would have really wanted." Have a plan and paperwork in place if you have strong feelings on the subject pls

It’s that time of the year again, when I carve a Hallowe’en turnip, in honour of this marvellous painted cast of an original turnip from Baile na Finne, Co. Donegal collected in 1910 and held in the National Museum of Ireland #Halloween #Ireland #Samhain (pronounced “sow-in” (to rhyme with the pig)

Your daily reminder that more people are playing and buying PC games than ever before. This is a growing industry. The only reason the industry is struggling is because the people are the top are vacuuming up all the money made to divert it to AI in an unhinged all-in multi-trillion-dollar gamble.

Let's meet the black-backed dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca), native to India and Southeast Asia. It was previously called the "Asian dwarf kingfisher", but we now know there are TWO species in Asia & the new names differentiate them. (📷: Manish Nikte Photography)

I can't even remember how it came up but just the other day I said "remember when Fleabag came out and people were genuinely shocked that women were perverts"

The "yuri is male gaze" debate becomes gut-bustingly hilarious once you realize that, more often than not, the genre is created by female mangaka sitting at their desks like:

🦑 Meet Planctoteuthis sp.! 🦑 According to #SamplingGap Co-chief sci Dr. Perez: “Images have finally enabled the description of this tail, but no one knows what it is used for. It looks like a siphonophore from a distance, and one hypothesis is that it could be used for siphonophore mimicry.”

Oh god though. Imagine being a flintstones and getting an appliance that's really into it. Like, everyone else's vacuum beast is all "it's a living" and yours is just snuffling about the place going "yes daddy more, more". Toilet pelican quietly whispering "thank you".

"snowpiercer is trying to say that class societ-" WRONG, snowpiercer is saying that it even in the worst circumstances that it kicks ass to be on a train

Whoops I forgot to share anywhere but I won't be at NZGDC and GCAP this year as I'm prioritising having a bit of rest after a hectic year. The fact that I've just needed a 20-hour sleep says that I made the right call lol

I know it's not, but this is even funnier if you imagine it was written by the Guns, Germs, and Steel guy

Model Home by Rivers Solomon is a beautifully, intensely disturbing psychological horror novel with absolutely phenomenal prose, and I remain annoyed that it wasn't a finalist for either the Stoker or the Shirley Jackson Awards.
