Fuck it, I give up. Goodbye 👋

I have never understood how not having children is selfish. How can not forcing life on someone be selfish. Honestly I feel like it is sexist because I always see the sentiment aimed at women.

People think I'm smart because I wear glasses. I failed an eye test and the answers were right in front of me.

I downloaded an app to help organize my tasks. Your avatar levels up like a video game. Uninstalled after twenty minutes because it was just another thing that I had to remember to do

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

William Henry Harrison had a better first 100 days, and he spent 70 of them dead.

My wife learned a new word today. Incel Thanks to the ID10T at McDonald's for telling multiple sexist and stupid jokes whenever she when to get a refill.

If your Top 10 Scariest Books Ever is half Stephen King I probably won't care about your recommendations. Stephen King is the Frank's Red Hot of horror. Intense enough for most people but some of us need something with more kick.

Currently take a break from reading because the void demands scratches.

The world is full of shit that needs to be boycotted. And as poor people it can be very hard to boycott everything. So I think it's ok to just pick a few things that you feel strongest about to boycott.

I think he is trying to tell me that I have read enough for today.

Some days it is hard to convince your family that everything is going to be okay when you don't even believe it yourself.

My first birdwatching picture.

GIVE YOURSELF TO THE FOG 09/16/25

Some days I think my family would be better off without me.

Finally read The Metamorphosis

beyond parody — the White House cites Trump’s “frequent victories in golf events” as evidence of his health

Finally finished Autumncrow High by Cameron Chaney. First half is mostly setting the scene, but once to get 100 pages in the story starts to take off.

If I could handle criticism I would be unstoppable

Reskeet with your favorite book cover.

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

In this time of anger and judgment and self-righteous posturing, everyone needs to read this book. My friend Michael Berryman has endured more adversity than anyone I've ever met . . . and he's one of the happiest people I've ever met. It's a privilege to know him.

This is about six miles from me. What used to be a ten minute drive to go get my wife's medicine now takes over an hour.

The quickest way to get your story rejected is not following the submission guidelines. No graphic sex means don't open the story with a description of your MC raping their wife.

Stop treating your readers like idiots. "How are you doing?" asked Mr. Spencer "Not well Shawn" Mr. Spencer's first name was Shawn. Yes, we know. Context clues. You don't have to spell it out.

The customer is always right in matters of taste. That means if you want to buy an ugly ah shirt I'll let you. It doesn't mean that you get to yell in my face because I tell you that we have not stocked that shirt in over five years.

If you ever want to feel better about your own writing spend time as a Slush Pile Reader.

I do not need a page telling me what a background character is watching and the history of the film if it isn't plot relevant. "As John passed the living room he saw that his roommate was watching some black and white movie" Please stop padding your stories. Length without substance is worthless.

Trump is making all this bullshit up as he goes along. No object permanence whatsoever. Yesterday means nothing. Tomorrow the same. It's about right now, and tomorrow he'll make up something else that's just as imbecilic in a different way. Fucking batshit crazy.

Reskeet with a favorite book for childhood. Only book I even read more than five times

I can see flood waters from my front porch. Never in my 37 years of life in McLean County have flood water been this close to my home.
