The Foreign Service Journal gave Dog's Breakfast, my embassy spoof, a nice belly-rub. Thank you FSJ!

Can we talk about this? medium.com/jane-austens...

Really excited to share our latest piece on @washunbound.bsky.social. Contributor @tomnavratil.bsky.social has written a stellar review of @elizabethbrucedc.bsky.social's short story collection 'Universally Adored & Other One Dollar Stories.' Check it out! www.washington-unbound.com/bookreviews/...

Now I'm famous in Sweden, thanks to coverage of today's demonstration

Finally, clear guidance on your most pressing questions: medium.com/slackjaw/ask... A nice squirt of the bottle to @Slackjawhumor for finding room on the shelf for this.

I kinda let myself go on this one. #chuchuhuasi #humor of a ranting nature medium.com/muddyum/if-i...

Hopefully we won't see too much of this on Bluesky: muddyum.net/the-true-dan...

In three decades in the Foreign Service, I never -- not once -- saw a MEDEVAC prevented (or even delayed) because of funding issues. Money was *always* available instantly when a State/USAID doctor approved a MEDEVAC, no questions asked by the budget team in DC or overseas. This is unconscionable.

It's been a while since I left the diplomacy game, so this might be a little rusty: medium.com/the-haven/ta...

My first author interview! On the Douglas Coleman show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcOn...

Thank you to Sagun Shrestha and the Independent for this timely interview!

Destiny? Who knows, but today, Day 1 of what smells like quite a dog's-breakfasty era, my debut novel launches. Let the satire roll like thunder! btwnthelines.com/product/dogs...

A bit of Denmark-themed humor to cheer you up: medium.com/slackjaw/why... Appreciation to Slackjaw for giving this one a seat at the table.

Just like the first day of kindergarten, you have to take a picture when the author's copies arrive.

You don't have to be a marine biologist or an expert on stemware to know this is true:

Sharing a bit of bookish humor:

FP4A & nearly 100 national security leaders call on the Senate to thoroughly vet Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination for Director of National Intelligence. Her qualifications & past statements raise serious concerns about her ability to serve in this critical role. ⬇️ www.fp4america.org/wp-content/u...

In celebration of joining Bluesky, I'm sharing the friend link to a humor piece I recently contributed to Slackjaw. Safe travels everyone :-) medium.com/slackjaw/upd...
