The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.
An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.
So finish the thing.

Charlie Kirk was not an activist. He didn't make memes & travel the country on his own dime to change hearts & minds. He was bankrolled by a GOP billionaire. Made millions a year doing it. The only homegrown movements the right are hate groups & militias. They don't understand grass roots activism.
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

It’s almost as if being willing to die for the greater good and fight for the rights of our neighbors as much as our own is our whole national fucking identity.

Spoke to Greg Ketter, owner of DreamHaven Books, just now. He’s grateful for all the book orders & knows the store’s site is struggling w/ the demand. Employees coming Monday to reboot the site & pack orders. There are so many that it may take a few extra days so please be patient & keep fighting. ✊🏽

Conservatives seem baffled by the amount of organization going on in MSP. A reminder that Prince died in the afternoon, and by nightfall the entire city has shut down and turned into a well organized dance party celebrating his life. The only thing bigger than MSP hearts are their brains.

Nyx is a Great Pyrenees/Boxer/Black Lab/German Shepherd mix, with Pyrenees making up a full half.
You said she loves the cold. What is her breed mix, do you know?

Austin is entirely frozen over. Pure ice. Half an hour ago, the power went out. I was pretty sure the brick I shit at that moment could be heard from space.
Thankfully, ERCOT appears to have its shit together and the power came back on 15 minutes later.
Christ, ERCOT, don't do me like that.

One of the few things keeping us buoyed here in the Twin Cities is knowing that friends & family outside of the state are seeing & hearing us & contacting their representatives & donating to organizations here on the ground.
We see that you see us, & we’re grateful you’re helping get the word out.

Minneapolis is my home away from home. So many of my favorite people in the world live there. Also Jeremy. We travel there most years.
My heart weeps for the needless pain they are all going through, but it also swells because I am so proud of those bad mother fuckers. Even Jeremy. Love you all.

I'm slow braising a Stracotto di Manzo tonight, and the whole house smells amazing as a result. Very, VERY, excited for this dish. There are few things I enjoy more than making a chef-y weekend dish. But to serve this one with a bottle of wine next to a roaring fire? Heaven.
Now to watch the clock!

Upside: Nyx LOVES the cold. I don’t think I’ve seen her happier than she was tonight running around the park with me and Jess.
Downside: my balls may be frozen to my leg.

Folks keep asking, so: we are all so far so good in Austin. It’s below freezing and the snow starts in a few hours, so the hardest part is ahead. But we have our devices charged and a pile of wood for the fireplace. We are ready as we’ve ever been. Much love to all of you on this awful fucking day.
