vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

lies can be told by omission. who's to say what you're hiding? and it *is* my job to find out.

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

alright, alright. ( he puts his hands up in mock defense. ) keep your secrets. *for now*! you really expect me to just believe you could get to *italy*, of all places? more importantly, you think my readers would believe that?

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Italy. Sure, and I'm Santa Claus. Is she your . . . Niece or something?

mmm, it's no menthol or mentat, but it's got more nutrients in. i think.

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

( taking out the shirtless picture. there is something special, he thinks, about seeing the subject of a photograph in the flesh; doubly so when holding the image. a double-figure. at once, he can glimpse into two realities. one is paper-thin, but which? ) we'll keep this one for page three.

( bringing the mugs over. he smiles to see the pair getting on. ) you know i would. our travel column usually only goes as far as phoenix. have you ever been? tough to write even a hundred interesting words about!

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

( getting up, making two coffees. joy slinks out of her hiding space to rub against v's legs, as sunny as her owner. ) really? what kind of travels?

000

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

the biggest challenge about trying to write for the Local Concerns column is that you've gotta fit a whole lot in 300 characters. how's anyone doing *that*? what you're writing about is characters, y'know? you've gotta make your reader *feel* for them, make it *mean something*. in 300 characters!

ha! good one wait a sec. why would *i* attack the radio tower? Unless . . .

you're a celebrity, kimmie! the paper's never sold this well.

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

because not all the good words are short! it's not just about the reading, it's gotta be fun to write, too. and we have to have *standards*, stuff we aspire to, like the big words.
