There is a special place in hell for people who want to return things on eBay that they clearly have destroyed/β€œlost”/damaged themselves. Especially ones who say β€œoh I know it’s always someone else’s fault.” They belong with despots, warlocks and egotistical swim instructors

I've been busy over at areyouexperienced.substack.com writing about things that appeal to me, or bother me, depending on the week and my general temperament. Lately it's been generative AI, the Quatermass series, self-publishing, ghosts, magick and horror movies.

I wrote a piece about horror movies and job hunting. I don't know if there is a horror movie about job hunting but I don't think I'd want to watch it right now. Unless there's a good one! open.substack.com/pub/areyouex...

All My Rowdy Friends The Best View In Any City...

I have written over 40,000 words since I started this, which is a pretty big number. For me, at least. This past week I wrote about redefining my relationship with alcohol. In past weeks I've dug into all sorts of digital stuff via the lens of this jaded Gen Xer. open.substack.com/pub/areyouex...
