Attn: Thor!

(Everyone else can just ignore this; this is specifically for the one who emailed me using the name Thor.)

Hey, sorry to be a bother, just responded to your email about a week ago and heard nothing back, and I’m just making sure my new email worked for you and things didn’t disappoint into the void! Let me know!

We Will All Go Together When We Go

We Will All Go Together When We Go
Summary: a failed stand-up comedian walks into a bar at the end of the world. What’re you having?
Series: none (stand-alone)
Word Count: 1400
Notes: Winner of the January 2026 fan poll, originally written 1/2/2020… and man, I don't know how I feel about posting this story considering what's happening politically right now. This is a rare case where I’ll be quoting liberally from a real song, because Tom Lehrer, who made “We Will All Go Together When We Go,” put all of his music and lyrics into the public domain in 2022. (https://tomlehrersongs.com/disclaimer/) You can listen to the song and read the lyrics here: https://tomlehrersongs.com/we-will-all-go-together-when-we-go/ He died July 26, 2025.

A funny thing happened today, on the way to Armageddon. Buy me a drink and I’ll tell you all about it!

Because I was there, that’s why. No, there, there. In shitting distance when it came down. Amazing I wasn’t killed.

Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, Chuckles. Everyone’s a critic nowadays. You buying or not?

That’s better. Okay, so it went like this…

( Down by the old maelstrom, / There'll be a storm before the calm... )

Adult Content Bans

Since the Vice articles apparently got taken down, this Mashable article by Raksha Muthukumar, "Adult creators are still getting debanked — but it doesn't just impact them," is the best summary I have of how a bunch of middle-men can get between you, a consenting paying customer, and a willing seller of legal work. (Back when itch.io banned AllFam, I likened this to being jerked around by the guys who made the cash register.)

AllFam is still banned on itch.io, and if Payhip/Patreon goes down next, we'll probably end up on Ream. But just so y'all know, this is an ongoing problem, and for a lot more people than just us.

EDIT: also, Apple's on their Patreon shit again, so please, please, if you want to support our work, do it through your browser and not some app that allows yet another middle-man to chokehold our business. I swear, I'm this close to just taking checks through the damn mail or something, because then at least we only have to deal with the post office and the banks...
