Project Super Nex – Chapter Sixteen – Chaos and Death
It’s the 25th of Merto, ten past eight in the morning. The edges of a cumulus cloud burn white as it slips over one of the suns, while the second sun radiates razor blades that slice gashes through other approaching clouds. The grass and the trees and the lake of Gollinger Park flash and gleam … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Sixteen – Chaos and Death
My 2 Cents on Hamilton
What’s new, readers? Amazon recently pulled Washington Redskins merchandise from its website, following in the steps of Nike, Target, and Walmart. At the same time, FedEx, Bank of America, and PepsiCo are all leaning on the NFL to change the name. Oh, so now we’re realizing how awful it is to use a racial slur … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Hamilton
My 2 Cents on How to Be an Antiracist
What’s new, readers? Recently, it was announced that Christopher Nolan’s Tenetand Disney’s live-action Mulan reboot have had their theatrical releases pushed back from July 17 and 24 to August 12 and 21, respectively.

My 2 Cents on Disney’s Artemis Fowl
What’s new, readers? I just want to give a huge shout-out to the Gen Z users of TikTok and the K-pop fans who bought up all those seats at Trump's Tulsa rally yesterday. This is fantastic—the young people banding together to make their political voices heard, bring about change, and stand against racism. And it's … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Disney’s Artemis Fowl
Project Super Nex – Chapter Fifteen – Rupture
I awaken to the opening notes of the Chameleons for Breakfast score, rippling with equal amounts of grandeur and tenderness. Lying on my side in bed, I wiggle my arm out from underneath the covers, stretch it out to snooze my phone. Time: seven-ten p.d. I roll onto my back, lace my fingers over my … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Fifteen – Rupture

Project Super Nex – Chapter Fourteen – Homesick
I barrel down the stairs from the steeple, bolt through the dining area, through the entrance vestibule and past the kissnut queen with its spiky branches looming over me. The ashmelin double doors slam open before I can touch them and I jump back from the frenzied throngs of Vermusk piling in. I squeeze my … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Fourteen – Homesick
My 2 Cents on The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
What’s new, readers? Today is the first day of June, which means summer is on the horizon—and you know what, I couldn’t care less. Things have been so exasperating lately, not just because of the dimwits out there who see fit to dismiss the necessity of face masks, but also because of the police-inflicted murder … Continue reading My 2 Cents on The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
Project Super Nex – Chapter Thirteen – Fading Into The Void
Cursed Cosmotic, I’m back in that tiresome meadow. It’s mostly the same—picking berries, traipsing down the grawtree-lined passage toward the meadow, sensing something rustling within the trees on my left. Not only do I hear a piano melody, but also the opening verse of “Delusive Eyes”—I can smell orchids, even though they’re out of season—and … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Thirteen – Fading Into The Void
