Happy 2025! We're so excited to be releasing our Carmilla adaptation on the Re: Dracula feed this year, starting Feb 14! The cast and crew absolutely nailed this production and it's going to be such a treat. (If you're impatient you can join our Patreon page and listen to the first half of the series right now!)

“ugh, [genre] is so bad, it’s all shallow and stupid and pandering” I hate to break it to you but that is the entire point of Sturgeon’s Law

Theodore Sturgeon was a sci-fi writer in the 50s, back when sci-fi was seen as lowbrow, pulpy, and for children. He countered the dismissive critics with, “yes, 90% of sci-fi is crud. But that’s because 90% of everything is crud.”

if you’re like “oh X genre is universally shallow garbage” you have probably only seen the few most popular parts of it, and the most popular parts of basically any genre are in the 90% of crud. Your genre of choice is not better, you just know it better and you know how to sort the good stuff from the crud.

I've been trying to distract myself from the horrors of modern life by knitting unnecessarily complex cable swatches. They are partly inspired by printer's ornaments and other typographic elements.
