Writer. Storyteller. Occasional troublemaker. Thrillers • Audio drama • Cold Cuts: strange history and everyday absurdity.
And the semicolon; parallelism; the Oxford comma; sentence fragments; parentheses; and starting sentences with “And” or “But.”
For most of us, the first version of history we see comes from the movies. open.substack.com/pu...
Pleased to announce I just crossed 200 subscribers on my Substack. Thank you to everyone who’s been reading, sharing, and cheering me on. I appreciate every one of you. If you’ve been enjoying the essays but haven’t subscribed yet, this seems like an excellent time to fix that. TonySarrecchia.com
The trolls are wrong. The Odyssey is awesome. We just got out of the theater, and I highly recommend it—and would see it again. Anne Hathaway deserves an Oscar, and the spectacle is everything you expect from a Nolan film. 🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️/5
There’s a parasite in the U.S. that causes explosive diarrhea. You can get it from fresh produce. Know what’s never given me explosive diarrhea? Whiskey.
“I too, would like a BLT sandwich. And you appear to have two sandwiches, so…”
And that’s a wrap on Doctor Who. Kinda saw this coming with the weak writing and agenda stories from the past few seasons. Not every episode should be a ‘very special episode’.
My dog doesn’t care that I’ve been published, spoken at conventions, produced audio dramas, or stared too long at Substack analytics. He knows two things: I came home. I sat on the couch. In his mind, I’m crushing it. Be the person your dog thinks you are.
Awesome story, but at this pace “The Winds of Winter” will come out before we get any answers. #from
Excited to announce I’ll be appearing at Multiverse this October.
If it works for rocket science, it’ll probably work for your first draft too.
Pretty sure federal law requires you to yell “YOU’RE NAKEY!” the moment you take your dog’s collar off.
I don’t generally stay up past 11:00 these days and I can’t remember the last time I watched anything on CBS, but I’ll tune in for Colbert’s finale tonight. Mostly for the show. And partly because it feels like the end of a very specific era of television. How about you?
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman came out in 1958, proving America has been afraid of tall women with opinions for at least seventy years.
Scientists discovered evidence that Neanderthals performed primitive root canals 59,000 years ago using sharpened stone tools. Which means humanity figured out dental surgery before we figured out not to reply-all to office emails.
Fountain pen. Notebook. Slower on purpose. That gap between thought and ink is where the work happens. What do you write with?
Because my humor never left middle school, Uranus will never not be funny.
Now that the TSA is fully funded, they can afford to be inefficient at scale. Because nothing says progress like having enough budget to make the same mistakes… faster and with better signage.
When does a story actually end anymore—or are we just stuck in reruns now?
We used to use science so we wouldn’t do dumb things twice. Now we ignore it and call it “thinking for ourselves.” Science being wrong sometimes isn’t a flaw—it’s the system working. The other system is just vibes… and repeat mistakes.
Today is the day! Come on down to 221BCon in Atlanta and see ARTC perform episode 8 of my Lady Sherlock Mysteries. 12pm. #audiodrama
