Advance praise for my collection of short stories THIS WORLD WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF STRANGERS (out 11.18 from @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social) from @kevingrauke.bsky.social

This collection of loosely connected stories reminds us that, no matter how much we crave connection and a sense of belonging, we often fail to achieve it to any degree of satisfaction-and sometimes not at all.
Bullion's young men do their very best, however, to forge identities in a lonely, latchkey landscape of a Missouri college town, where parents are checked out, if not absent, and the love is tough, if present at all.
Now, this may sound like rough sledding, but its bite and poignancy are perfectly balanced with what is often riotous humor.
Such a potent mixture is a rarity in today's fiction, which is why this collection is a thing to celebrate and share.
Kevin Grauke, author of Shadows of Men and Yonderites

Johnson: I don't know about that, "but I do know that they resisted . . . ."

Then he offers up his view of D.C. and "the spoils of good policy."

He wouldn't mind anyone resisting to be grateful for this heavy-handedness ending up in prison.

BIG thanks to @bryanharvey.bsky.social for a great conversation, and I cannot express how honored I am to have my book next to Buddha Edwards, Cecil Fielder, and Travis Fryman's cards. Deeetroit!

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

Person saying having my door bashed in is "the price that now has to be paid" sounds like they've been conquered already by their own leadership

"ICE also wants algorithms, asking contractors to spell out how they might weave artificial intelligence into the hunt—a solicitation that mirrors other recent proposals. The agency has also set aside more than a million dollars a year to arm analysts with the latest surveillance tools."

This sounds . . . insane? Both in phrasing and in thought. There’s also that weird shoutout to Pete Hegseth to verify the Insane thought. Anyway, he’s totally up to the demands of the position bsky.app/profile/atru...

The many hats you wear as a teacher is an undersold part of this job. You as a fellow citizen may not be asking for teachers to fill so many roles but I think it’s lost that in every class there’s a kid looking for a parent, a friend, a counsellor, a coach, a tutor, a role model, on top of a teacher
