I suppose if one is going to steal, one should be completely shameless about it. The above graphic was – to the best of my knowledge – created by Belghast for his Mixtape Mondays series of posts. I have snagged it, because there is zero chance of me coming up with anything cooler than that.…… Continue reading Mixtape Monday – Okay With Not Being Okay
Blaugust 2026 In Review
Here’s our stats breakdown for 2026. According to the signup sheet we had 173 participants this year, although at least one of the Blaugust mentors clocked a handful of folks who did not officially sign up, which means that number is closer to 179.

Good Intentions Don’t Get The Job Done
I was off to such a good start! And then, every day, I thought to myself “That’s okay, I’ll write something tomorrow.” Well, you can see how that went. I mean, better than it went between last September and mid-July, but still? Not great. So here’s the thing. I wasn’t planning to come back for…… Continue reading Good Intentions Don’t Get The Job Done
The Elephant In The Room – My Personal, Absolutely Unofficial, Thoughts About This Year’s AI Disclaimer

Getting Ready for the Deluge of Chore Sims on the Horizon
Although a big part of Blaugust for me this year is going to be figuring out what the heck this blog is actually about now, I thought it might be nice to do at least a couple video game centric posts over the course of the month. I like chore sims in general. Things like…… Continue reading Getting Ready for the Deluge of Chore Sims on the Horizon
#Blaugust2026 Group Project – My First Blog
Ok, look, I know I made these prompts, but I wasn’t thinking about myself when I was doing it.

100 Horror Movies. 92 Days. #100Horror2026
By the start of August, I am absolutely desperate for autumn to show up. I’m one of those people who have a very small window of comfortable temperatures, and although I cope okay when it gets a lot colder, I do not thrive when it’s warmer. I know there’s a lot of people that love…… Continue reading 100 Horror Movies. 92 Days. #100Horror2026
