A factor that has made me nervous about this whole blogject is that most of the creators and producers of the show are still living and I’m not interested in cancel culture or trying to cause harm for any individuals. I’m fighting systems. Inevitably, in attempting to fight systems I have to deal with the…

That wasn’t so bad, was it? Just your typical I-used-to-be-a-child-actor-for-a-rightwing-propaganda-organization-aimed-at-brainwashing-generations-of-evangelical-children-to-become-rightwing-voters-and-then-the-rightwing-system-I-made-propaganda-for-created-a-helltopia-in-my-life-which-led-me-to-suicide-and-self-mutilation-and-mental-health-crises-(multiple)-foreshadowing-my-eventual-de-conversion-and-spiritual-and-political-realignment story that is just sooooo done to death these days. I’ll try to have a more original take on deconstruction next time. Sorry to let you all down. If my brains were demolished by the time I got to LunaticCamp™… I don’t even remember the…

**Editor’s note: I am tired. Spent. Bandwidth depleted AF. The Autumn Downswing is definitely starting to happen due to a variety of circumstantial things happening.

Somewhere deep in the farthest reaches of the Universe where no Earth made telescope will ever reach there is a room called: Heaven™. This is where all the greatest VIP’s go after they die. Even the ones that may have sinned a little too much but God Almighty™ gave ’em a pass because they liven…

This is my most private and personal life story. This is the story that is hardest to tell. To the worldTo my familyTo my friendsTo my colleaguesTo strangers who will mock me and troll meTo bigots who will target me for the rest of my life and use this as proof that I’m broken and…

**Editor’s note: This is the final entry in the Broken Mirror Storyline, it will eventually be numbered Pt 12. The first 3 unnumbered entries in this volume Shock & Aww, Holy Ghost, and An Empty Chair will be numbered entries in subsequent drafts.** Adventures in Odyssey: Episode 285 – George Under Pressure In October 1994…

Of all the pieces I’ve written to date… this is the one I most wish I could skip over. (which is saying a lot because the two that come after this… oof) Because this one really isn’t about me. Oh sure, I’m the central character and all the things in the story are happening to…
