Hi. I’m M. Shaw. I write a lot of weird shit, mostly about the bizarre experience of having a body and inhabiting a crumbling society full of deeply lonely and sick people who also usually have bodies. Some other artists who I get compared to a lot are Samuel Beckett, David Cronenberg, Carmen Maria Machado, and Gene Wolfe.

My most recent book is One Hand to Hold, One Hand to Carve, which you can buy direct from the publisher here, or from your preferred retailer. My main website is mshawesome.com, which also includes links to most of my published work. My most prominent personality trait is “too old for this shit” and my second most prominent personality trait is “crimes.”

I live in Colorado with the mountains and the bears and all that shit. My drugs of choice are weed and estrogen. I am not one of your sad, helpless internet queers, but I am fully insane and I will hit you with a board. The reason I’m doing this is because I love all of you.

That’s it.

'based on a true story' was the funniest horror marketing trope for a while we need to bring it back. big fan of a lack of need to specify how much and what parts. i love when words mean anything

Forever thinking about how Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Psycho are both based on the same news story

i hope the anonymous person who sent the "i used to live in your house. i'm drunk in boston and it's the only address i know. happy holidays" postcard is aware that they wrote my favourite poem

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

go!

Whichever bathroom has the shortest line/whatever is funnier at the time.

ASTRONAUT 1: weve gotta get this alien out of your chest cavity now. its gonna burst any second. (raises scalpel)

ASTRONAUT 2: but this chest bursting killing machine has a different perspective (grabs partners hand) we have to hear... (ribs cracking. literally dies) both sides

Trans people need to start naming themselves like puritans but like the other way. I need to start hanging out with bitches named Contempt and Decadence and Heresy

Maybe I'll keep going by Sam but tell people it's short for Sammael.

There was a severed hand on the road today that was way too nice to be a Spirit Halloween hand, but not necessarily realistic enough to be concerning, so somebody just threw a premium severed hand out the window going down the highway. Super weird.

[shawwillsuffice]

Yeah

Amusement park in Berlin left to nature’s devices [640x480]

[kosmonin]

It was “left to nature’s devices” because the owner got caught importing a roller coaster with 180 kilos of peruvian cocaine inside it

I miss Berlin

They call me the Midnight Scratcher on account of how every time I get a tattoo, about a week in, I wake up in the middle of the night clawing at it like I buried treasure under that thing. Gonna have to duct tape oven mitts to my wrists.

[luperael]

who is "they"

[c3rvida3]

Just whoever's around. Like a dude or some other kind of person.
