I love my neighbors. We're in week 3 of a trash pickup strike but my neighbor took my trash & that of 2 neighbors on his dump run.
+ a wood pallet and broken wheelbarrow of mine. 💗
I gave them a load of 🍋 from my tree. ☺️

I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.

I finally got my new Oklahoma redbud planted. I had to make a gopher basket out of chicken wire myself in order to fit the 15 gallon sized hole I dug. Now, in 5 years or so I'll have more shade on the patio.

there's just something cosmically tragic about people developing a new technology that promises to automate tasks for us, except the tasks its creators want it to perform are the only ones that make being human worthwhile

instead of faking intelligence by submitting machine-generated essays, I recommend faking intelligence the old-fashioned way: by showing a lively curiosity towards the world and improving your mind by extensive reading.

Curiosity is undervalued yet vital.
Unsolicited writing advice, no. 118:
Don't just write what you know. But make sure you know what you're writing about. That means due diligence; research; talking to people with specialist expertise or experience. And it means never stop learning; exploring; questioning; listening; being curious.

I love how my neighbor's solution to deer getting in his yard is for me to build a new gate farther down my driveway than where the gate currently is (and has been for decades). The audacity. People love to spend other people's money. 🙄

Querying teaches you something every great writer needs: how to believe in your story, even when no one else has said yes yet.

I'm questioning the life choices that have brought me to the place where I'm cleaning shit out from between a Greyhound's toes, after midnight, while the washer hums away with yet another load of laundry.

Where can your short story collection be preordered (other than Amazon), @jonathanin2k.bsky.social ?
This is a fantastic collection!

John Waters. Icon. 💗
In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD
