We both hid a part of ourselves behind a soldier’s body armor and camo paint and when that didn’t work we retreated behind the smile of a beer drinking buddy.

God the first few pages of a new draft is always a giant pain in the ass. How do I introduce these new characters?

I gotta pick a new story to tell live in April.
There’s no assigned topic. My choice. So if I’ve told a story or shared any writing you like and think would be fun to hear live lemme know.

I read this thing in like three hours BTW.
If I want to write pulp then I guess it’s time to sit down and read pulp.
Because I gotta get my next project off the ground. I need something to work on.

“Hey you can’t be getting into the goddamned gummy bears in the middle of the day that a night time snack!” Is something I’m about to yell across the house at my spouse who is once again “working” from home.

It would be fun if these New York Times profile writers just did a random person every once in a while.
Like meet Bob, he works at a Jiffee Lube in Tucson.

I love when Dave Portnoy pops up because he proves without a doubt that Massachusetts is no better than anywhere else they just have more money.

I know how to use a hammer.
If I had this man’s money you’d never see a video of me doing so though.
Bro just pay somebody, only your dumb goon followers think you’re a man’s man.

Thanks to @ind3fatigable.online I got to think about Popeyes founder Al Copeland and if y’all don’t know about Al Copeland you need to because the man was a uniquely New Orleans character through and through.

Describing a 72-hour ban that you caught and lied about as being "disappeared" when there are people being disappeared in actual fact every day is certainly a choice.

Not gonna discourse.
Gonna make a sandwich and start thinking about my next story.
I get to choose for April and I dunno if I want to talk about my injury or the hospital again even though it’s easy material.

It’s bad to threaten violence. Sorry.
It’s doubly, triply, shitty to threaten violence when you’re the kind of soft handed internet person who hasn’t thrown or taken a punch since the 6th grade.
A lot of motherfuckers are childish in their rhetoric and it’s wrong and dangerous.

The man ain’t wrong.
I think we are in an existential war against the darkness. Our ammunition is not bullets & explosive shells but joy & love. Our guns are not rifles or cannons but our interactions with people around us.
We have no choice in this. You either fight or you allow the hate & evil to take over our world

The Facebook algorithm just fed me a New Orleans news station story about a woman in Manchester by the Sea Massachusetts getting lost in a swamp and I dunno man maybe this IS all a simulation.

I don’t pay noticeably more in Massachusetts than I did in Louisiana and Texas and my road gets plowed every year before I even get up.
one of the funnier bits about moving from a blue state to a red state is that red states still need money to run things and will often just collect it via fees instead
so you pay less in taxes but everything else is more expensive and you don’t actually come out much better

Decent number of the California conservative transplants to Texas have been surprised to find 1: it's not actually that much cheaper, 2: our services suck, 3: they will still be treated like blue haired hippies just for being from California
