I did the thing! I self-published the book I started 35 years ago. It's available at Amazon, hard cover, paperback and Kindle: a.co/d/fJfz2bO

The next one won't take so long, maybe?

It's set in the decade before I began writing, the 1980s, and follows Sheppard's and his friend Jonah's exploits.

We lost our kitty of 15 years on Monday. She hardly ever made a sound, yet the house has been oddly silent all week. The littlest member of our family had a big place in our hearts.

Edward Hopper didn’t paint loneliness—he painted us.

He captured something deeper than isolation. He made silence feel loud. He made stillness ache.

Here’s the untold story behind America’s quietest genius—and what we can learn from him. 🧵👇 #artbots #hopper

User: "wait, so you mean when we unplugged all those cables it made the internet stop working?"

Me: "you unplugged the equipment that had a big sign saying *DO NOT TOUCH*? Yeah that will break your internet"

User: "but the internet is wireless"

Me: 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

No, I don't post often. But I'm sparing everyone the grief of reading things like "Dry erase boards are remarkable!"

See? See what I do for you?

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you.
