Gentle Cheerleading from the Left of the Dial: 42 Pitches for Noncommercial Radio DJs

It’s fundraising season again. Maybe your station used to have a staffer who handed you a tidy pitchbook—full of “listener-supported excellence” and “community-powered media” in that safe, sleepy tone borrowed from public broadcasting and toothpaste ads. Maybe that person is not around this time. Maybe now you’re

TiGGR: Codex of the Repo Men

A TiGGR Retrospective There’s always a car. Always a job. And always something in the back that shouldn’t be—but is. When we published Plate of Shrimp, Neon Delica Microvan, and Cor, Blimey!, they looked like standalone zines. Different tones, timelines, genres. A punk sci-fi collapse in Los

TiGGR: A Wizard of Earthsea

Where Balance Rolls 2d6 Earthsea is not a world of sword-swinging destiny or flashy power displays. It is a world of wind, water, and names—where words shape the world, and power comes with weight. This TiGGR scenario draws from the early threads of Ged’s story, not to replicate

A Hollow Square, Full of Life

The Nosideist Manifesto

A Declaration in Four Tenets and One Patron Entity We live in an age of sides. Of performative framing. Of declarations disguised as nuance. * Nosideism rejects the premise. * We do not take sides. * We do not moderate. * We do not pretend to neutrality. * We hold up the sign, then walk

The Coming Fork: Food, Power, and the Illusion of Choice

[This article expands on the topics previously discussed in The Jenga Doctrine. The original conversation behind these posts formed the foundation for a storytelling game that has yet to be released, but the dialogue has been reverberating persistently for a while.] Amid rising climate instability, faltering global supply chains, and

The Return of the Current: A Storytelling Game Finds Its Shape

“You are not here to win. You are here to witness.” When we first released fragments of The Current, it wasn't a system. It was a weather pattern. A fog-primer. A memory-shaped ritual. It lived in Arkham. It asked strange questions. It whispered rather than shouted. What began

To Wear the Cloak of the Witness

A Field Guide for Gentle Radicalism There are times when the world breaks open, and other times when it breaks down. This guide is for those who stay present through both. For those who carry, listen, soften, and remember—quietly, persistently, without applause. You know who you are. Section 1:
