My high-concept LOTR series is a prequel-prequel set at the start of the First Age and before the Years of the Trees, just elves "awakening" and wandering wordlessly beneath the stars, big Kelly Reichardt/Terrence Malick vibes

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.

Susan Sarandon: I just love your work. Huge fan. But how would you describe—

Me: Hard Slipstream.

Doing the role play where Chels shows up wearing her yard work clothes and tells me to get the power washer out

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 · 8d

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.

Fuck, the troops have just full forced me to death citing I am tall. All my various white dad friends watched it happen and are playing it cool. I frankly get it and would likely have done the same.

The way you crosswalk the participants in these two pics says a lot about you

Inside of you are two wolves. Both are wild, amoral animals concerned only with their own survival. Both will inevitably kill the person they live inside of, exploding out of our various chests, or die trying.

Inside of you are two wolves. You empty several AR-15 clips into your soul, to no effect. The night grows cold. They will use pack tactics.

Derrick @dmartincampbell.bsky.social · 13d

Inside you are two wolves, released there as part of a rewilding initiative. Given time, they will change the shape of your rivers.
