the ai people stole from me and from my community and i don’t feel super forgiving of that. that well be poisoned brah

tfw you risk the airport espresso ☠️☠️☠️

gila remains one of my all-time favorite events i’ve gotten to write about

the new mexico tourism board is running an ad at lax that includes the tour of the gila

yes of course i have a strategic wetsuit reserve doesn’t everyone

due to the marine layer and upwelling situation, i was forced to reach into the strategic wetsuit reserve.

it's marine layer season here which is very funny because instagram wants to sell me bikinis and sun dresses and i'm like, bitch please, it is 60F and overcast here there is no sun

i legit never fly anywhere so i have no status and let me tell you that is not the dream for this kind of thing

i need to sell some words over here stat fresh words, words for sale artisanally crafted

flying places is so stupid expensive lol

a house down the street from me got the black + white redo and then they put a brown door on it. this is a crime. straight to jail!

i used to be a competitive swimmer so i've spent way too much time in pools of various sorts and painting it blue is not how any of this works lol

i'm only just now comprehending that the painting the reflecting pool blue to make it look better? i guess? thing is real. the world is a v confusing place.

and this was like, the good organic shit we were like, giddy and i grabbed so much chocolate it was almost embarassing

beautiful bonding moment in the grocery store last night when a woman and i simultaneously realized that just about everything in the chocolate aisle was two for one

love to my friends in the south who don't deserve this bullshit

letter of recommendation: write a random fiction project just because!

literally the longest thing i've written since my phd dissertation ruined my brain for long things. much easier and more fun than i expected!

rolled through 50k words on the fiction project so we're gettin' down to the end over here

that isn't to say that i might not still buy a cute summer dress but not today satan not today

i bought sunscreen instead of a cute summer dress it's hard being responsible

on the subject of ruined search, it's really hard to find my own old work now ilu google

just cleaned my screen and oh hey things look so brighter

in olden twitter tymes i mighta live blogged this viewing but i will refrain!

i also need to watch blue crush for a story and i have never seen it so that should be a fun ride

i watched the new red bull women's surf film, now days, and it frickin' bangs. i wish i could have seen it on a big screen in a room full of people -- or maybe more appropriately for surf films, standing around in a surf shop parking lot with a local crew

So we’re a few days from the end of our subscription drive at @weareravenous.com, and I’m so amazed by the response we’ve gotten. But we’re still a bit far from hitting our goal, so I wanted to talk a bit about why that’s the goal and what we want to do with it 1/

we have papers no one can see us

🥺🥺🥺

a cool thing that happened is the the city council here is moving forward on redesigning the main street in downtown without cars. and the designs look super sick, actually

go to starbucks, bitch!

woman at one of the most crowded coffee shops in town during a rush complaining that the baristas are too slow smdh

a weird thing about writing fiction is that sometimes the characters don't do what they're supposed to do. like, this one dude was supposed to get stabbed and die a messy death, but he beat his would-be murderer over the head with a bottle of tequila instead. i do not understand how this happens!

could they make a version of ios that doesn't change the orientation of every single photo yes i want all my photos turned sideways this is an amazing feature keep up the good work

i got to sign books at my local bookstore today and it was nice 🥹

Most of the SAR calls here are from people who were looking for the waterfall and fell before they found it.

We've had more SAR calls for snakes in the hills here this spring than usual. Cool critters, no step!

i hated meta before it was my job to run socials and now i hate it with sufficient fire to power a decent-sized city lol

when it was open to cars, the main street here had bike lanes along each curb, which were red-stripe no parking zones. there was also landscaping between the curb and the sidewalk. NEVERTHELESS every fucking uber/lyft driver stopped in the bike lanes to let people off! it was really dangerous!

also i need to go out and make some more stock photos lol

"It is easy to write badly about surfing. I know this, because I have done it many times." New story! frothyfools.substack.com/p/the-best-s...

"But somehow, it’s surprisingly difficult to describe with any degree of style and accuracy what it feels like to ride a wave — the mechanics of standing on a board, the way the water shifts underfoot, where the arms go and when, the whole ephemeral magic of it all." New story, please enjoy!

someone on instagram wanted to tell me about the virtues of minimalism and lol lmao nahhhh

books stacked so high i might need to get a little ladder or one of those rolly library stool things

i just burned through a pile of annoying phone chores that i put off and it went so easily and so quickly whew! this getting shit done thing is cool man i should do this more often

Jack Johnson is a lovely live performer, just really engaging, and the Hollywood Food Coalition is a great cause.

mighta eaten too many jelly beans before today’s ride 😂
