Hey! Here, have a pinned thread of my writer stuff.
First, my debut poetry collection came out in June. I'm proud of it. Readers have said it's good, so that's cool. You can get it all the usual places—my favorite is asking an indie bookstore to order it for you via Ingram.

If I ever get poetry famous, it'd be cool to be like a rap star who features friends on tracks. Give a stanza to a writer pal the way rappers give a verse to their buddies. Like, "[Title] featuring @readinstead.bsky.social" etc.

I am so excited to share this poem and join the many many other Icarus poets. Here is my speculative ekphrastic "Flooded Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" which imagines Breughel's landscape altered by climate change.
Thank you @terrainorg.bsky.social!

Can you imagine the Lakers or Celtics on a 13-game winning streak having nearly every post and article, even from fans, talking about trade options? The DISRESPECT.
I, for one, am not worried about America's sweethearts the Detroit Pistons tonight. Our guard and savior Cade CunningHIM shall guide us.

JB said he's sticking with a 12-man rotation for now. "We’re going to give guys opportunity, especially in the first half and see how the game progresses in the second half. It may not always be easy but guys are going to have an opportunity because they’ve earned it."

How are America's sweethearts the Detroit Pistons, you ask? Won 12 straight. Baker's dozen coming up next!
FINAL: Pistons 129, Bucks 116
The Pistons have snapped a 13-game losing streak to the Bucks and have won 12-straight to improve to 14-2 overall. One short of their franchise record, which is 13 wins. Cunningham led the way with 29 pts, 10 assts and 8 rebs. Ivey scored 10.
