Everything else aside, (And there so much to put aside) it’s crazy to me that ‘cocaine crimes’ is apparently the proper legal name for something.

It sounds like a Broken Social Scene lyric. (With respect)

I’ve started taking a multivitamin, but if these things are supposed to be so healthy then why do they smell like piss?

Stuck on writing a scene with a character that I’ve really come to NOT like and I think I’m gonna do something horrible to him purely out of spite.

Wild that scammers are having a constant identity crisis. Maria emailed me from Ingrid’s email address but her name in the email itself was Alice.

Apparently I double-paid my car insurance this month in case anybody needed proof that mania leads to wreckless spending.

I dunno, there's something there, I need to work it out. True story though.

The burning sky will blacken soon.
Leaves and night air crisping under the moon.

@blackboughpoetry.bsky.social I haven't tried my hand at something like this in a while, but I enjoyed it.

It’s kind of nice when a stranger likes a post you made out of nowhere.

It’s weird when they like 12. Like, I think I’m interesting, but I know I’m wrong. You’re either a bot or you’re making me sad at that point.

Finally utilizing Preptober as intended and it’s been an interesting experience. Will be nice to approach NaN- Reedsy’s Novel Sprint in November wearing trousers for a change.

Thinking about the time Dad played ‘dodge the lawn darts’.

Sure, I walk with a limp now, but you can’t buy good memories like that.

So many people in my life are using AI for everything and it feels like I'm witnessing in real time how it affects people's ability to just... Think.

Someone who works in IT, hardware and software side couldn't figure out cropping a video because ChatGPT didn't explain it.

What is happening here?

Another day, another rejection letter. Solid, actionable feedback and some very and some very good points raised though so that’s nice.

I thought I was a genius calling one cat Bobbie and the other Baby but it turns out that the feline ear isn’t great at differentiating vowels.

It has led to some confusion over who is the best little poopie in the world.

Incidentally, Poopie is my name for the third cat.

Heartbreaking: My girlfriend just told me that most of my favorite bands sound like cartoon rats.

Worse: She’s right.

It’s my first time doing comedy again since my lungs attempted to kill me two months ago and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t dreading it.

I think Bigfoot is the most believable of all the cryptids because if I were capable of opening interdimensional portals I would definitely use that power to fuck with drunk rednecks too.

Catlike grace. Effortless finesse. @reynoldsgareth.bsky.social doesn’t exhibit either in his stint with the ballet, but he does show an ability to make me cry. Whether tears of laughter, in sympathetic pain at each leap, or from sheer beauty I will leave ambiguous.

My credit card offered specifically for medical costs has a podcast out on the costs of horse ownership, and I know I'm projecting here, but I feel they may have misjudged the means of most of their membership a smidge.

There’s a financial services company called Thrivent and I feel like they could have workshopped it a bit better back in 1902.
