Writers block or executive function issues from mental disorder? New caller on the line, Atomoxetine, perhaps with some answers?

Pleased to see our work published: The Ties That Bind: Computational, Cross-cultural Analyses of Knots Reveal Their Cultural Evolutionary History and Significance We analysed knots across 12,000 years and 82 societies. Time to tie a thread 🧵 about why knots matter. doi.org/10.1017/S095...

With hypomania, all I can promise is I will keep it on my own wall.

Bridges? We got you covered. Wagons? We got you covered. Insurance? Fuck you, buddy, we're a bridge and wagon company. That seems implausible. However, my wagon is stuck on a bridge as we speak. You don't say? No, I wouldn't dare. Who is this for? Whoever it is, we've got them covered...?

A Palm Sunday poem therumpus.net/2022/04/16/n...

Anyone already do the I fell asleep in my R. E. M. shirt and woke up well rested? If so, I hope you get banned. From my heart.

The impulse MySpace had to allow us to blog and decorate our page like it was our personal hub before it got out of hand was good. Wish there was more of that here for me to do so I'd have something to do other than write or do any of the shit I'm supposed to be doing.

We are looking for two more writers to join our team. Let us know if interested.

"Death of the Author" is when the author dies. We will miss them. Flowers and other trinkets can be sent to

Sometimes people make arguments for a way of thinking that is so drastically different than how I feel, but it's a beautiful way to think and I almost wish I could change myself briefly to do things their way, but then, of course...

What I hate about food arguments is people get bogged down in regions when it's always people who make the dishes and those dishes come from long journeys across many tables and here at TOSTITO'S WE BUY THE DIP! GOT YOU MOTHERFUCKERS

Building a separate thread off my point here -- it has been broadly and accurately noted how the wider shift to so much being online first and foremost in the 21st century therefore means a lot of work is uncaptured in physical form. This is a problem on numerous levels... (1/x)

I'm going to start posting like we're on shitcoin trading sites and you're going to be horrified. Horrified.

@benjamindewey.bsky.social , tragedy finally avoided after replacing my copy lost in a fire a few years ago.

"The Frog God heard them coming from afar. It saw the fire from their lit sticks reflected in their eyewet before they even arrived at the pond..." Ooh, new @adrianf.bsky.social is NOT to be missed. Dip your toes in the Frog God's pond. Await the exquisitely slow boil. 🐸🐸🐸👇

Sam Kieth, like Sienkiewicz or Barthelme, were the first artists I encountered where i actually found myself asking was what I was experiencing "allowed" which seems so silly, but I think is probably the greatest complement I can give anyone who does anything.
