Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

I don’t have words for how enraging this is. The extraction is unending.

I’d actually like to leave this cafe, but I landed the good table today and heads turn every time I start to pack my bags. They want my table so bad.

I've been away from this style of platform for so long that I forgot how fundamental twitter breaks were to my writing process.
Are you even really writing if you aren't simultaneously somewhere on the internet bitching about writing?? I'm so back.
