A threadthulu is a tangled tentacular mess of threads with Godelian horror QTing and self-reference and looping going on, capturing a slightly evil headspace from your disturbed dreams. Threadthulu may or may not give rise to civilized, less evil texts like blog posts.
In the ribbonfarm longform course I used Elizabeth Gilbert’s metaphor of daemons for writing, and how you need to find the daemon of a piece. I think I tagged > 15k word posts as needing Cthulhu grade daemons. Now I’d add: they first emerge as threadthulus
The official correct spelling is threadtHulHu.... I always forget the second h in Cthulhu. It is unnatural orthography. Evil obtuse spelling that looks acute.
came up with a similar metaphor for Trump a few years ago, like a Portuguese man ‘o war: shithead super organism.
Threadthulhus are at least in the same genera. Native to Twitter. May colonize Roam too.
