Wind-blasted temples.

What's more punk than writing jams whose easygoing pop exterior conceals an anxious, doomed core? That's right--Tom Petty is more punk than Fugazi.

youtu.be/kMGbGGllQoE?... the almost sexual enjoyment this dude gets from playing an antique disc drive is genuinely inspiring

Kissing girls really do just be woke biphobia

I think it's okay to call a big butt a dumptruck but I am incredibly uncomfortable when people call it a dumper.

In lieu of flowers please be reactionary in the most incomprehensibly French way possible

I think every fantasy writer should be required to play Banished, preferably with the colonial charter mod. Once you have spent fifty years building up the supply chain infrastructure to make fruit jam and sugar cookies, only then will you understand true peasant/burgher mindset.
