Today is Jackie Robinson Day in Major League Baseball. And yet if Robinson were breaking the color barrier today, Trump would have DOJ prosecute both Robinson and the Dodgers for having "DEI" policies.

Did I nerd-out on Donnie Darko? Yes. An you might too this time around. medium.com/counterarts/...

The People We Keep x Mary Jane x What July Knew 90s Vegas, Babysitting should be safe. Moms shouldn’t steal piggy banks for bingo cash. But Sin City has its own rules. Amber Lynne's broke, anxious, and hustling for art school—dodging gamblers, boundary-crossers, and sins of her own making.

8 manuscripts later, I admit, I usually start with the wrong opening. Car crash, explosion, emotional sucker punch—pure chaos. Then, 10K words in, it finally settles into the character-driven story I meant to write. Anyone else? #WIP #AmQuerying #WriterProblems #SendHelp

I design worlds for a living—fictional, cinematic & artistic. Slightly wired, slightly weird (ND/A+). Stories are my oxygen, laughter is my religion. Let’s go somewhere unforgettable. #WriterLife #ProductionDesign #NeuroSpicy #Storyteller #AmQuerying

Mates in the UK: my new book will be out next month. IMMORTAL GESTURES looks at our small, brief movements & shows how they arise from enormous, often ancient worlds. 👉 finger guns 🤘“rock on” horns 🖐️ hand washing 🖖 Vulcan salute And much more. Preorder locally or here: geni.us/ImmortalGest...

I turn empty spaces into visual tales and blank pages into emotional journeys. When not chasing my dog or the perfect shot, I’m spinning records, rowing at sunrise, or nerding out on Egyptology. Looking to connect with storytellers who worship laughter. #HumorIsEverything #WriterLife #Storyteller

New to Blue and--deep breath--giving it a go! Looking for representation for LONESOME TOWN, an upmarket coming-of-age set in 90s Las Vegas about a Catholic teen from Oklahoma whose sketchy hustles finance dreams of art college as parents unravel #amquerying #90s #humor #anxiety #ND
