Bullet Points Military SFF that Captures the Complexity of Warfare

My story The Lost is live at @bulletpoints.bsky.social! This is a favorite of mine: short sci-fi about belonging and alienation, about passing, about what it means to be lost and the yearning to be found.

It's me in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2026 posing after pat's Run

A tradition unlike any other... Pat's Run! My virtual participation in the race honoring the most famous alum of both my high school and college! 4.2 miles. Finished this year in 49:54.

This is one of my favorite stories ever. Unbelievably beautiful. My friend @scmillsbooks.bsky.social is a genius.

My copy of @bulletpoints.bsky.social Vol. 13 arrived today, featuring my flash scifi, "The Lost," about a stranded soldier inconceivably far from home. Lots of other incredible fiction too. QqAvailable to order soon, or online. I'll share the links when they're up.

It made Apple look like Scorcese. The scorebug was a crime against humanity.

Watching baseball on @netflix.com

There's a girl in New York City—and I love New York. I was very good to that city. But they've got a very, very smart mayor, zohran, who actually likes me very much, we get along beautifully, and I said zohran you need to build, and he said, Donald, we're going to. Woah, now this is what he means.

She comes back to tell me "Iran"

As if I didn't know that. As if I didn't make my own bed. As if I'd never noticed, the way she brushed her hair—and she has beautiful hair, and we love her. Used to be I only liked blondes, you never saw me with a brunette. Never a—but these women were beautiful...

My traveling companion acts nine years old, he is the child of my first marriage. But I've reason to believe--and when I say believe I mean believe me, because we're looking into it very strongly and it's a beautiful thing--but they're gonna receive us both, even Eric, little Eric, in Graceland.

It'd also be cool if bluesky scolds had any capacity to acknowledge attempts at humor lol.

This is the place.

I responded to a single dude's nice post about being cool to other people in the gym and now half my discover feed is sweaty, shirtless men.

Heck yeah brother

What is law?

Man... @kairyssdal.bsky.social can you explain what I should be thinking about the fed rate thing? The inputs of these decisions might as well be cyrllic to me.

Oh my gosh you guys I forgot I did this and I gotta be honest this might be my best work. I laughed at every single one.

I think about this sometimes. Just over a year ago. Is it worse that it all shifted so bizarrely or that we STILL have no heroes?

Heck yeah dude. Way to be.

Thrilled to have this in TCL.

Man I need to see the next cel! What can he do to make his country still more progressive?? The people must know!

One of the smartest, softest, most heart-plucking... I'm gonna use the pun although it deserves better... thread-the-needle-perfect stories. When they talk about story with layers, with emotion, stories that SHOW you a truth...so many truths. Here it is: gonelawn.net/journal/issu...

I'll be honest...this is almost always the correct way to go. With everybody. It took me a while to learn this, but as a strategy, it has not let me down.
