Turns out "tell me about yourself" doesn't mean tell them where you were born and what your hobbies are 😅
Well, fuck me I guess.
Book a gynaecologist appointment if yours looks like that.
Interviews are such a big problem. I'm autistic, mid-30s, I've been working full time since I was 17, but I've almost never succeeded at a job interview. I've always gotten new jobs by either knowing someone or starting as an agency temp and then getting made full time, with the one exception being an interview where I'm pretty confident that the hiring manager was also autistic.
Looking for lit fic suggestions
Hi all. I'm looking to explore contemporary lit fic but I really don't know where to start.
Currently I mainly read horror (usually slower literary horror and weird or Gothic stuff more than gore/extreme/slashers), New Weird, a fair few literary classics, and some SSF and mystery now and then. Some of my favourite books are Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Laird Barron's The Imago Sequence, and Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.
So stuff with a dark edge and some speculative elements is welcome, but I'm staying open minded and I'll try basically anything as long as it's interesting.
Also, if anyone can recommend some magazines or other sorts of regular publications, I'd like to hear about those too. Both for short fiction and recommendations/reviews.
Cheers, A.
Carson's involved in CHM as well. He handles the social media.
I've been using it as my daily driver for almost a year now. I keep Linux installs around for stuff OpenBSD isn't ideal for, but for most things I do day to day it's fantastic and easy to understand.
Matey's gonna be the centre piece of the 'Fuck Around And Find Out' exhibit
I don't hate systemd, but I prefer OpenRC and usually use it on my Debian systems. My preference is purely vibes based though, and I think most of the anti-systemd arguments in common usage are a bit silly.
Posthaste Manor by Jolie Toomajan and Carson Winter
This is sort of a mosaic novel written by two weird horror authors (that I know personally, hope it's okay to promote my friend's work here) with different styles and outlooks.
It's a fun take on a haunted house, with a mix of Gothic elements and weird fiction vibes.
It's published by Tenebrous Press, currently my favourite small press. They focus on 'New Weird Horror,' valuing new approaches and experimentation within the genre.
