No doubt if the next Faulkner is anywhere, they are parking rental cars outside a small regional airport

The only good, non-CIA writing advice is to find a community whose primary industry is dying and write about them in a way that makes them hate you.

My three-week-old nephew smiled at me for the first time today, so I'm feeling normal. Incredibly normal and not at all like the existence of human capacity for joy is a terrifyingly fragile miracle.

Doing the roleplay where I'm having the fake adverse vaccine reaction that causes my legs to shake and tremble and my wife is watching disdainfully, saying stuff like, "I thought that only happened to girls..."

Doing the role play where I have a terminal illness and my wife is the doctor telling me and she is being weirdly casual about it.

Can't believe the Hells Angels are on their way to Portland to kick Antifa's ass. Can't wait to see Hell's Angels bikers just murking these Antifa soy boys, National Guard looking on confused and lost, like they are in the cuck chair (?) Cuckolding, pornography. Etc. This is America.

OPB cutting up the fattest rails of "both sides" anyone at this party has ever seen. Got crazy "both sides"-heads being like, "Hey @opb.org go easy on that shit, man-"

OPB @opb.org · 9d

While some Oregonians seethe over President Trump's announced deployment of the National Guard in Portland, others believe the city needs it. They say homelessness and crime has worn the bloom off the Rose City, and federal intervention is needed.

‘Now we’re pig slop:’ Portland troop deployment sparks mixed reactions across Oregon

As Portland fights against troops, some outsiders welcome an intervention.

When ghosts from the two different versions of the city hook up and have a kid ?? It’s crazy. That kid’s life

Portland was actually destroyed in the Vanport flood back in ‘48. Everything since has basically been a scaled-up Sixth Sense/The Others-type situation. The ghosts of the drowned city and the ghosts of the city imagined by conservative media eye one another warily, on the down low.
