The world is only this way because shitty people want it that way & are keeping it that way & one of the ways they're doing that is trying to convince you this is the only way it has to be. So get free at least in your mind & watch it ripple!
"Whenever I feel like giving up / Whenever my hopes / and dreams / are aimed in the wrong direction..."
Also it's artificially flavored vanilla flavor, so you're getting double the bland for one low price!
Daily life, like outer space and matter, is full of nothing. So we have a million ways to make pie. There is a very bad pun coming. We make pie because pie has filling. Insert either Skeletor or Dr Doom here.

No regrets 🩵
Today's a good day to buy everything I've ever written. Already got em? Buy em for friends! Not enough friends? Book-giving is an excellent ice breaker. Nothing but enemies? Confound them with literature.
Always confound them with literature.
Thunder's finished. Quiet enough now to hear the rain gurgling down the drain pipe. Even the birds have paused their morning calls of "DTF! Anybody?"
No sun, just gray full of water. Barely any wind. Kind of morning that gives you permission to be a cloud if just for a little while.
Thunder this morning, but of the "Just rearranging an odd bit of furniture, sorry for the noise" variety, not the "appeal to your gods all you want, they will not hear. I am your god now" kind. Cool that thunder has range.
I love it!
So cool.
Hornz ouroboros!
Human life might be greatly improved if we all had personal horn sections following us around so that whenever we did something cool we could just shout "Hornz!" and they would play a boogie woogie jam jazz fanfare to bring the house down. But that ain't life. Yet.
there’s nothing like a product searching for a market as a business model. but come to think of it, isn’t that how thieves approach things? first they steal something and then they look for somewhere to sell it?
Dear movie makers: choppy editing just to show me someone putting a dish in a sink isn't helpful to either of us.
Imagining is fun. Thinking is fun! Creativity is cool, and they're all just ways to set the mind to fun tasks, to see things happen. I enjoy that. It's one of the things in life that keeps me motivated. I like thinking and reading.
That right there...
BOOSTING.
I am sure half of my followers have not seen this.
This is why it's best if folks never skip leg day. Never know when they gotta jump up!
John Boyega as the character Moses from the movie Attack the Block. Across his face, the words "Allow it."
You, unsure if you should write that weird story.
The only answer.
3:45 a.m. and I'm thinking I want Thanksgiving dinner for lunch.
My day is planned out.
It can get lonely out in these writing streets.
Sometimes I get a real person saying something like this & it makes a little of the unending crap fall away.
"...writes lovely, loving, lovable prose that doesn't pin & cut every sentence to death, a voice that rings of truth w/o preaching, plays w/o making light... a treat to savor."
Thank you.
The 2 wisest mice on Earth, Pinky and the Brain.
"Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Pinky. We heal. We take our tatters and form them into bandages. We eschew all tortured reality and vow no one else will live it."
But they're dinky. They're only Pinky and the Brain.
whole thread.
I don't remember #writing most of my books, but if you put it in my hands I can always cite The Line.
"Nothing is secure. Everything is terrible."
"This is America, we don't--"
"Yes we do."
"Dear sysadmins: the network team doesn't want to talk to you either."
on and on...
You're not a baby bird. Mofos had better bring you steak AND a drink, preferably with a twisty straw.
