Learned to swim by jumping into the deep end
Star Trek Undiscovered Country -> opening weekend -> a kid in line at the theatre was SO PSYCHED -> at the climactic moment he jumped out of his seat and followed Kirk’s lead -> FIRE FIRE FIRE -> at the time, what’s wrong with this guy? Now, I love his passion for something one might care about.

It’s like the guy that’s laundering $120m to fund military payroll - one might do that? Or one might pay your taxes, and quit being such a dick about it?

Not far from the cursed burial ground on which the Cowboys landed

What a start for you! Not my first purchase, but one I also bought off the rack in ‘75. Transformative in so many ways.

For a minute, I thought that was Silver Surfer, not Ice Man, prompting me to try to figure out when Adams had done an SS/X crossover. THAT would have KILLED.

I’ve been inching away from Twitter/X for instruction for a couple of years, now also doubling down on Bluesky when teaching Multimedia Writing and Strategic Social Media

You might also consider searching for topics on Bluesky - if you find other useful accounts, then you might see some good ideas for presenting yourself here

I recommend a little detail about things you care about, especially any that you might write about for a public audience

I count myself in the “dumb teenager” category - my undergraduate degree gave me some important benefits, but not everything I could have, or should have achieved. It helped me get going on a journey, but I didn’t have the vision or maturity at the time to really get the most out of it.
