Accidentally wrote four autofiction books. Slid from narrative into monologue—not stream-of-consciousness, more like speech-speed meaning performance. Trained my voice into AI, produced a shit-ton of pieces. Had too many. Needed a place to dump them. Saw a sign that said “Beware, Vicious Dog!” Misread it. Named the podcast Danger, Vicious Dog. Didn’t fix it. Just kept going. Queer. Cosmic. Sarcastic. Cheap. Accidentally committed to the bit. Some voice and art is AI... I don't know how I feel about that... so I'm working on figuring it out... how I feel.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T20:18:09.153413+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978"},"episode":{"title":"E4: Onomatopoeia; S6: Up for Lease (Bonus)","slug":"e4-onomatopoeia-s6-up-for-lease-bonus","published_at":"2026-05-09T03:08:06+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/e4-onomatopoeia-s6-up-for-lease-bonus","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/testtubebaby/episodes/E4-Onomatopoeia-S6-Up-for-Lease-Bonus-e3j414r","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10bfde498/podcast/play/119718491/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-4-9%2F423793508-44100-2-8f46dc04b6cd4.m4a","summary":"You’re probably noticing a pattern by now. I keep circling around the same things: responsibility, performance, authenticity, pragmatism, spectacle, care, self-preservation, manipulation, survival. Human beings constructing little wire bridges over impossible gaps and then pretending they were always there. I think part of why I’m asking these questions is because I don’t trust easy morality anymore. The older I get, the more suspicious I become of people who already know exactly what the right thing is before they’ve even sat with the discomfort long enough to smell it. So here are a few situations. None of them are theoretical, exactly. None of them are fully real either. They’re just little pressure chambers. Ethical weather systems. Tiny social terrariums full of mold and electricity and people trying their best while also absolutely ruining everything. Anyway. Enjoy your enrichment pellets, little lab rat. A youth centre stays open during a dangerous ice storm because the staff know some of the kids have nowhere else warm to go. The sidewalks are slippery. Someone could get hurt. Maybe badly. Closing would be safer legally. Staying open feels safer humanly. What exactly is “safe enough,” and who gets to decide? A person spends years building an organization around their own instincts, values, habits, contradictions, and blind spots. Then someone else takes over and transforms it into something more effective, more strategic, more politically competent. If the new version helps more people, was the old version noble… or just emotionally attached to its own flavour? You know someone who exaggerates parts of their story to survive socially. Not lying exactly. More like… editing themselves into coherence. The people around them seem happier with the edited version. Is…","meta_description":"You’re probably noticing a pattern by now.
