I Ain't Got Time For This

For the first time in a while I found out about a new tingler dropping not from seeing it on tumblr, but from seeing it mentioned in my book club's group chat. Right after it came out, folks were already talking about this one!!

I got a similar energy from this one as I did from parts of Trans Wizard Harriet Porber. This tingler has no chill. No subtlety, even by the standards of tinglers. Just as blatant as you can get. It's glorious. I had a blast reading this one. I was cackling with delight, sharing with my wife, screenshotting a few paragraphs for my book club so the non-tingler-readers could see what they're missing.

i think the fact that i can say over and over again 'i am not being ironic, this is not a bit, my books are not a joke' and have people on the right AND left just say 'NO YOU ARE' to my face (or my mask) over and over again is very telling. culture just cannot deal with neurodivergent people yet

i am very thankful i have the confidence to weather decades of people calling my work ‘shit posts’ or ‘intentionally bad’. i think it has personally made me very strong and confident in my art, but it is fascinating how hard it is for some folks to even CONCEIVE of someone this different than them

most creators have these BIG DREAMS and goals, like winning an oscar or traditionally publishing a book: my dream is to live in a world where the average person has a relationship with joy and sincerity and sexuality and fantasy that makes my books seem not outrageous at all. which is how i see them

i know buds mean well when they post stuff like ‘i cant believe chuck tingle went from erotica to traditional bestseller lists’ and thats FINE. i take it in the kind way it is intended. at same time, i want to live in a world where fantastical sexuality in art is not seen as a gutter to emerge from
