Don't panic

I'm switching web hosts! Following this issue of the newsletter, I'll be migrating the whole thing over to my redesigned website at inferiorwit.com. If you're currently subscribed via email, you don't need to do anything. If you're subscribed via RSS, you'll want to change the feed url to https://inferiorwit.com/rss.

The new website also allows me to archive more of my writing; if you're into that, check out the fiction and nonfiction sections. Some of the longer stories are paywalled — you can sign up for a paid subscription for as little as $1 USD/month (or $10/year) to gain access.

(For those of you who enjoyed my previous, terrible website, rest assured it's still online at inferiorwit.neocities.org.)

The ninth story in The Casefile of Jay Moriarty, titled "The Illusive Consultant," comes out on November 11! You can preorder it (from those vendors that allow preorders) here.

Additionally, Ko-fi supporters who subscribe at the Early Access tier ($5 CAD/month) can download the book for free, right now.

This Week's Links

a wholesome plane has hit the second cozy tower

Now, I don't care that Rogue Duck is iterating on [Papers, Please]. What's hooked me here is this original take they're so excited about. Because Declare is more than a shameless clone: it has its own identity and it does have something to say. Nothing to Declare comes on stage following Papers, turns to the audience, and what it has to say is: "man, that guy was a downer, am I right?"

British newspaper spoke to the wrong de Blasio, not an ‘imposter’

The man at the heart of a high-stakes mix-up that rippled through global political journalism in the final days of the New York mayoral campaign was neither “falsely claiming” to be former Mayor Bill de Blasio — as the Times of London suggested — nor, as The New York Times wrote, a “de Blasio impersonator.”

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies.

Plastic Girl vs Dangerous Crow Boy - FAQs

Readers are asking questions, making theories, and creating the kind of chaotic brilliance only Tumblr can provide. So, instead of letting those questions float around unanswered in the void, I’ve gathered them here. Consider this the official FAQ for #DangerousCrowBoy, born out of reblogs, memes, and a deep collective obsession with dangerous crow boys.


#bookstagram update: aggregator accounts are messaging me asking for money in exchange for book promos. Can't tell if this means I'm doing well or very badly.
