I'm so glad!
I'm not liable if it starts to haunt your dreams!
There's a dumb little rhyme I learned as a kid that has saved me most of my life.
From this rule I won't depart, lips together and teeth apart.
But I have an obsessive track mind that screams it at me if I clench and I feel like that is the part that actually works.
I don't think conceit is the thing.
You live in a world that is designed to make all of us feel awful.
If you're a creative you also get a side of useless.
This global situation is a conceited failure.
Not us.
Definitely not you.
Maybe it's because I'm old as dust, but when events don't start on time, even recreational ones, I don't find it charming or artistic.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.
If you let them ban porn, they will call you pornographic when they ban you.
My neighbourhood smells like green olives.
That's weird, right?
The Jetsons lied to us
I feel like if they had used a hare and not a rabbit the outcome would have been different.
I love the first snow of the season...
I hate that the current season is Spring and there is snow...
Phone rings
"You have a collect call from Cthulu."
....
Yeah, sure.
Some of my favorite folks doing some of my favorite things.
Protect your peace. Remember the person severing contact isn't often the rejector... It's usually the person who's tired of being rejected.
Love a tchotchke or a curio. A little bauble? Oh, yes please. A knickknack? Divine. A doodad or a bijou perhaps? I’ll take two. Would I like a gimcrack? You’re goddam right I would. Do I fancy a geegaw? You already know I do.
This might be the best thing I've ever seen. I love it.
Remember when you were younger and you thought that your casual recklessness could only impact yourself?
Remember being the age you are now and realizing that it can never just be yourself because you live in a world with others?
I do sort of miss being casually reckless though.
I grew up UCC - it's pretty progressive and open.
I was always told that when faith wavers to lean on community.
But with only a few exceptions I found the community to be small-minded, petty and full of expectations I wasn't willing to meet.
I was not their people.
They made that very clear.
TL/DR - create art for the sake of art.
I wrote a book.
That's the accomplishment.
Getting it published is so secondary to the actual accomplishment.
Art for the sake of Art.
Fuck AI.
I've been told it's funny, touching and relevant.
It's on my personal re-read list every year.
Sixty years ago it would have been a real banger... But I don't have the energy for the hustle.
It discusses late life loneliness, sexual health and what it's like when you become out of sync with the world. Insomnia, invisibility and what happens when you're kept separate - what happens when your pushed beyond the pale.
The book is about a 70 year old woman who catches a supernatural ability and fights a frost demon in her retirement home with the help of a Slavic house spirit.
I am middle aged and work a full time job.
I've spent the last year disentangling myself from a lot of social media for my mental health.
I don't have the hustle in me.
Some days I can't even get a cup of tea in me while it's still hot.
People who know me pretty well know I wrote a book a few years ago.
Sometimes my parents ask me if I'll ever have it published.
Explaining to them that the hustle needed to launch a writing career right now is a full time job.
I am! It's great and GORGEOUS!
