The Pickup Truck Diaries: “The Second Most Prolific Poet In History” & Goal Setting.

Let’s start this edition of The Pickup Truck Diaries with a rhetorical question: “How does one go about achieving the goals they’ve set for themselves?” I’ll give you a few minutes to pause and think about that. Most folks have already started churning their brains into realistic “brass tacks”...

Central Universe Science Fiction Shorts: An Update!

Campfire. Come gather 'round the campfire. Let me tell you a story. Several small ones, in fact! It started a month or two ago, when I had a bunch of hits on "Our Better Angels" via the 'ol analytics. Now, I've been running this little business for half a decade - so out of neurotic perfectionism,...

McRae’s MTG Corner: The Rainbow Bible. (AKA The Rukarumel “Gay Pirates!” Tribal Tribal CEDH Primer.)

WARNING: This piece clocks in at 62,000+ words. It currently holds the record for longest "CEDH Primer" ever written. (Although it's more like a textbook or resource guide to Tribal Archetypes, and Rainbow/5c Magic, really.) It is over half the size of my sci fi books. Please remember to drink...

McRae’s MTG Corner: Tempo For Dummies (Especially For Commander.)

Aight, we back yet again. Somehow in my long years of being an L1 Judge and Modern and EDH player, I had never realized that learning tempo in Magic The Gathering is a rather visceral experience, in that you learn experientially. For the layman, that means that you have to learn that deep sense of...

McRae’s MTG Corner: Siloing CEDH & EDH

Ew, I got CEDH in my EDH… Today we’re here to talk about power levels in the casual commander format, as well as how to encourage better CEDH & EDH play by more carefully separating the two formats despite their strange interwoven nature. As a “retired” L1 Judge for Magic: The Gathering, I’m...

Tout Rien.

No king,In Yellow,Scarlet,Red,Or Purple.Tout rien.That,Perhaps.Some religious men -Take vows of poverty.Cryptids like me -Pray to entropy itself.Worship of the ticking of the clock.Slow winding down of the universe.Gods be damned.No royalty here.Only poets,Witches,& monsters.See?

Claw at my truths.

One day,I will be able to play the hermit,No longer. Droves will hunt me,Seeking out my knowings.Claw at my truths. Goodnight void -May these hallowed hours remain sacred.May the silence of the void be absolute.

Dear Father

Changeling Kin.

I'll be looking for my changeling kin,Neurodivergents as strange as me.Overlapping diagnoses,Yielding strangely distorted outcomes.Some superhuman,Some crippling.Looking for my fellows,Tired of being the same damn bastion,Of loneliness.Different.Othered.Strange.Fae.

Ego Death |||

Ego Death,Is like a drug.Boiling in blood,Ecstasy on tap.Dissociating from ourselves,Until we become fractals.I've seen scything flesh,Cracking bones.Knowing what it's like,To die.New experiences,No matter how many thousands of times -Each dream roiling to the next.Yet,Here I stand.

Luck.

Aye - I never knew,That luck was supposed to come,In more than one variety.Blood curse feeding on all of it,In excess.Parasite,In exchange for superpowers.Destiny was a lie,Told by fools.After enough waiting,People like me get up,Head out to make our own futures.We learn to use our double edged...
