Behind Every Tree Beneath Every Rock by Michael Tichy A psychedelic cinematic ride from existential horror to eco revenge monster madness. Nothing like it.
I wrote about the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, and it was very cathartic. It’s about chronic pain, the broken health care system, & the way doctors continually refuse to acknowledge women’s pain, even when we are literally screaming. lajayne.com/2024/04/the-or…
Yo I’m really excited to speak to the kids at the Monarch Academy this Wednesday. I’ll be talking about losing access to education, the incarceration system, and how books made the difference of getting free and becoming a writer. So grateful to @WriteOnSteph for this!
Scary stuff.

Writer intro post! I go by E Appalachia & I am a writer of horror & fantasy smut! My stories feature an array of themes, settings, & kinks. From fun woodland nymphs to blood sucking succubi & a giant frog monster named Tsath who may/may not be descended of a Lovecraftian god.

Just a reminder of this amazing book, which you should pick up if you like JG Ballard, weird horror, and/or generally awesome shit. Very proud of this one. Would love for it to get more eyes! Don't be afraid of it if you haven't read any JG Ballard!

Upcoming novels RipJack, a Sherlock Holmes horror; Tenebrae, folk horror; and Fall of the House of BaskervilleGot a second-round interview for that job I really want and a first-round interview for another job that would be pretty cool. Not holding my breath, but I hope something comes of at least one of them.
Piers looks best on his TV show, where he employs a visual language he knows (dark suit, light shirt, dark tie). He just needs to learn a few more languages for when he's off the show and perhaps pay attention to Kermit the Frog.
Finally, Kermit knows that dinner suits (aka tuxedos) should be worn with black bow ties made from the same material as the jacket's facings, not long black ties, which should be reserved for business meetings, court appearances, and funerals.
Again, the same issue here. Piers is wearing generic clothes (no cultural message, lack of a finishing layer, visually uninteresting). Kermit improves on this by aligning the materials (chambray with denim) and using an open shirt as a lightweight layer. Has a workwear vibe.
Kermit wears a similar outfit but employs a field parka, a Fair Isle knit, and a scarf. The coat gives him a distinctive silhouette. The sweater is visually more interesting. All the elements in the outfit make sense in terms of weather and cultural language.
We see the same issues here. Piers is wearing a slim, shapeless topcoat with a stretched-out V-neck, a white dress shirt, a scarf, bad jeans, and suede loafers (confusing, no cultural message, aesthetically unappealing).
You can see how the same language is channeled in Aime Leon Dore's spring/ summer lookbook. The outfit on the right is a little better because the man is wearing a jacket (outfits often need a finishing layer). But perhaps Kermit was hot that day.
To develop your visual vocabulary, you have to pay attention to culture. Think about how clothes were worn in the past by various cultural groups. Here we see all the references for Kermit's outfit above.
Compare these two outfits. Piers' black polo with checked knee-length shorts and bad sneakers says nothing. But Kermit's cargo shorts with an Aloha shirt, fishing bag, and straw hat says: "I'm a mid-century sportsman on vacation."
By thinking of clothes as cultural language, Kermit is able to put together cooler outfits. Here, he's channeling 1980s Miami Vice energy with a lightweight jacket, pink mock neck, striped pants, white horsebit loafers, and giant sunglasses.
Men often struggle with this because their identity may be rooted in just being a "normal dude," so they see any outfit that deviates from some middle-class uniform as "cosplay." But do you think a frog actually herds cattle?
Here, we see him taking chances with a beautifully patterned serape and a safari jacket worn with a neckerchief and beret.
Kermit doesn't think of outfits in parts or as a pseudo-science (e.g., black goes with blue), but as cultural language. He thinks of the *total* outfit and what it conveys. The rebel look with a biker jacket and jeans. Or the time he wore white suits with gold chains in the '70s
When he layers, the outfits lack cultural meaning or coherency (e.g., topcoat with polo and sweatpants). When he tries to look a bit cooler, he thinks only in terms of single items (e.g., the black dress shirts popular with divorced men hitting the club).
The biggest issue with Piers' casualwear is that it has no direction. It's sort of a mishmash of generic clothes: polos and button-up shirts with pre-washed blue jeans or flat-front beige chinos, sometimes layered with a plain Merino sweater.
No such issue for Kermit the Frog. He knows that if you're going to wear a sweater on its own, the knit needs something like a pattern or texture to make it interesting. Good options include spongey Shetlands, chunky Arans, Fair Isles, and ribbed Shaker knits.
For a more casual look, Piers often wears these plain, smooth Merino sweaters in solid colors. These sweaters can sometimes be fine under a tailored jacket, but on their own, they lack something.
No such issue for Kermit the Frog. He has a wider variety of options, such as tweeds, checked sport coats, and casual suits made from materials like linen and available in colors like cream. This allows him to look put together without seeming corporate.
Since Piers seemingly only has dark worsted suits in colors such as black, navy, or grey, he often looks like he's just come out of a business meeting, even when he's at social functions.
