Hey friends. My pal @kaseylansdale.bsky.social has a book coming out in September. It's so good, and the cover dropped today. Dig crime fiction? You'll dig this. #firstchance

Last week’s Substack post contains the porniest paragraph I've ever written and it’s not even a little bit about sex. Give it a read, won’t you? open.substack.com/pub/benjacks...

I just wish Dick Cheney was alive to see this. 😢

Please let the rapture take them all. (Also, when I see pics like this I realize just how much weight I've lost in the last year. Holy moly!)

I'm seeing this "sit down wave" meme make the rounds suddenly. It is TERRIBLE advice. Sitting down will get people hurt. Silence is silence. It is not power. Do not trust memes when you can't tell where they came from. Frankly, this one probably came from a police union #sitdownwave #nokings

It's been two weeks since I brought Blanche home. I sure won the adoption lottery.

I once had a catholic family member complain to my parents (I was in my THIRTIES) because of this image I made as the cover for a Christmas playlist. They voted for Trump. Thrice. So far they have been silent about the second pic.

Say hi to Blanche. I adopted her today. 😍🐶

I did not FA and I am so goddamn sick of F-ing O because so many idiots did.

This is what cowardice looks like. I've been a registered Democrat since 1993. I have voted in every election. And I am so sick of how feckless and weak the party has become that I am about ready to quit the party.

Not for nothing but I've been thinking a lot about Nikolae Ceauşescu lately. Not sure why...

It was bound to happen again sometime. Glad that the vax is vaxxing and that I will have fewer symptoms because of it.

Man, watching the MAGA turnips drain out because Zelenskyy didn't wear a suit to the Oval Office when this shit happened? I could puke.

Dinner for 2? In this economy? I think not.

Ben Jackson @benjackson.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

A lot of people ask why I block Meidas Touch, Occupy Democrats, and the like. It is because of stuff like this. They spread disinfo, and it's just as bad when our side does it. Elon Musk is one of the worst humans. Elon Musk also never admitted that Trump's policies would "collapse" the economy.

See, this is why Grindr crashes whenever the Republicans are in town.

Seeing lately a LOT of Democratic millennials shitting on GenX. Listen, GenX has its problems for sure. But guess which age demographic had the biggest shift from democrats to republicans between 2009-2023: people born in the 1980s.

Hey #massachusetts peeps: the owner of Golden Grillz BBQ food truck likes to fat shame people who publicly renounce Trump. If he wants people to "stop eating," I recommend we start with his dry, bland food truck. Fitefly's #BBQ in Marlborough is excellent.

Iposted a video on insta about how I am returning my 2006 Time Person of the Year award because they gave it to Trump this year. The rocket scientists and brain surgeons of the Trump cult are losing it, which makes it SO much funnier.

Time Magazine has named Trump their "Person of the Year," continuing a proud tradition.

This is who fuckface intends to nominate to lead the federal government's largest law enforcement apparatus. A different fuckface who does not believe in the constitution but does seem to find inspiration in the KGB.

So there is a company called Spines which intends to "disrupt the publishing industry" by publishing 8,000 AI-intensive titles a year. Real publishers should refuse to do business with any writer or retailer which buys their crap. Also, they look how you think they do (h/t @janeroper.bsky.social)

I have an MFA in Creative Writing from Emerson, a BA in English and Creative Writing from SNHU, and love to share and talk books, literature, new thinking, and how words shape our lives. Hope you'll all stick around! (6/6)

My kiddo @emmaj1220.bsky.social spent most of her first year and most of her high school years hospitalized in Boston. She and I spent most of that time together and I figured out most of what is important in my life during those years. She's an adult now, and I miss her every day. (4/6)

I'm a writer of prose (and the occasional terrible poem). My latest short story, "Midnight at the General," came out this month in Consequence 16.2. Other credits include the @bostonglobe.com, @cogwbur.bsky.social, Literary Traveler, Page Turner Mag, @horrortree.bsky.social and others. (3/6)

Hi all! There are a bunch more of you lately so I figured I'd say hi and introduce myself. Here's a thread about me. Hi! I'm Ben. If the only word it says on my tombstone is "Dad," I'll be happy with the life I lived, but I'm more than that. (1/6)

Fans of The Boys will know just how on point it is that the #Project2025 co-author who was just named to lead the White House OMB is named Vought.

My daughter was 2 months old in the NICU before I could hold her for the first time. This remains one of the best moments of my life. It would be another 10 months before we left the hospital for real.

This is the problem with people like Chris Bouzy and others with large following gs who made ridiculous maps and presented "data" (there was no data) to support them. The actual polling was pretty accurate. The real projected maps were all showing tossups-with Trump ahead in PA, MI, AZ, NC, GA.

It looks like @cnn.com got the memo from the Commanders of the Faith about holiday shopping here in Gilead. 🙄
