The Tumbling Borg
6K posts
I'm Mikhail. Thanks to a 1990 car accident, I'm also a Borg. I write and perform the podcast "Managlitch City Underground" and am working on a related novel currently called "Discordia's Glitch". If this Tumblr makes you think I like cosplay, Ponies, Crystal Gems, and Doctor Who, you're absolutely right.

Midnight Pals: Dark Tower
Stephen King: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the dark tower King: and here's the crazy thing, guys King: i'm telling this story King: but i'm also IN this story Barker: holy shit steve Barker: you just blew my motherfuckin mind
King: see, the real question is King: who's the REAL stephen king? King: the one telling the story King: or the one IN the story? Koontz: the one telling the story King: yes, dean, i know King: but as a thought experiment Koontz: you're the real one King: Barker: from the mouths of babes, huh? lol
King: see, what I'm saying is King: like, what does it mean for the concept of story that I'm here but I'm also in the story Mary Shelley: it means more john barth ass bullshit King: King: you know, mary, john barth doesn't have a monopoly on postmodernism Shelley: i said what i said
King: see, i'm here King: but i'm also in the story King: get it? Koontz: Poe: steve you're confusing dean King: no no i think he gets it Koontz: so you're not the real stephen king? Poe: he doesn't get it King: give him time edgar!
Koontz: wait so if you're real BUT you're also in the story King: yes? Koontz: then how do you know you're the real stephen king? King: haha oh dean of course i'm the real stephen king Koontz: what if you're also just a character in another story? King: oh dean you're so delightfully naive
Koontz: what if none of us are real Koontz: what if we're all just characters in a story?! Barker: haha sure dean we're all just "characters" in a "story" Barker: haha maybe we're all just "caricatures" in a "series" of "internet posts" Barker: haha that's our dean Barker: what an imagination!
Barker: like we're all just shallow caricatures reciting hollow catchphrases! ha ha Mary Shelley: sup fuckers Edward Lee: bro JK Rowling: hello children Roger Corman: its me roger corman, star of da bluesky thread Chuck Wendig: zoopity boopity! Patricia Highsmith: ain't nothing like a dame!

World of Warcraft's initial playable race roster was designed to appeal in some way to every known clique in 2003: the preppies, the goths, the jocks, the nerds, the normals, the stoners, the flower children, and the short kings. to which were later added the aliens, the preppies (edgy), the nerds (fintech), the furries, the furries (weeb), and finally, the scalies

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

Genesis 1:1

Next time I play through Fallout New Vegas, I should put on Welcome to Night Vale in the background and imagine my Courier is tuning in to a radio station from a local desert community that is only slightly weirder than everywhere else in the area.

I reached out to pet my cat.
Our songs joined together briefly in harmony to make a bigger song.
I smiled for the first time today.
"nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life" ok. well when i pet my dog he is soft and when he licks my hand it is wet and that is far more real to me than whatevers going on at an atomic level

you don’t have to write something good. you just have to write something unhinged enough to edit later
