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.

000

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?

000

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

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

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

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

000

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

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.

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

( 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!

000

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

really? that's kind of you. ( he stretches on the spot in the window light, his body caught in the early autumn morning. ) watcha doin' in the area, huh? want a drink?

000

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

100

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

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

( opening one eye to see who it is. ) no, it's alright. come in, come in. what's up?

000

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

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

100

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

000

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

i get the feeling it might be a pathetic tree.

000

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

aww, don't worry, you can put the star on the tree!

000

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

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!

vincent van blair @beatsreporting.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

who-- ( looking around. ) who are you saying that to???
