I get the point here. Don't record or photograph folks without their permission. However, Flock doesn't just "feel like" an invasion of privacy. They are. Law enforcement officers have used them to literally stalk people.

OED says the earliest known use of "ayuh" was 1890. I've heard old-timers use it my entire life, but had never seen it spelled until I started reading Stephen King novels in the 80s. At the time, I assumed he'd made up the spelling based on the sound of the word. Not so.

...but from context and experience. And media. That's no way to grow up. You'll make mistakes and you should learn from them. But in a world where boys are raised right, any mistakes they make should never be life-altering. For anyone. 2/2

It's past time for parents, teachers, and role models to teach boys about the humanity of others and the consequences of having no empathy. Not just the legal consequences, either. Most of what I learned about personhood came not from parents, schools, or churches... 1/2

The wealth of popular music I’ve listened to over my lifetime has taught me two things: people like sex and drinking, and people are far more terrified of heartbreaks than death.

I don't know how you professional marketers/social media managers do this shit day in and day out. Whatever it is, you deserve more than you're being paid. I'm only doing minor work on my Instagram account (cleaning up follows/unfollows) and I'm ready to dive out a window.

Lit a candle with a wooden match this morning. Discovered there was only a half a match left in the box. Lit that half match too so it wouldn't feel alone and left out.

The story would've been about my experience. Could've been nothing. Could've been awesome. I never had a chance to find out because those in charge thought it was a shit idea. Now, there are entire hit franchises on television all about paranormal investigation. 3/3

Way back when I was a journalist, I loved writing features. Fun, human interest shit. I left the daily profession a couple of years after being pushed onto a hard news beat I never wanted and being informed that features were "women's work." 1/3

Forty-three pages of outline hand-written from my latest first draft. "This is the greatest story I've ever written," I say out loud to the cat. "Too bad no one will want to read it," my brain immediately fires back. Brains, amirite?

THE END scrawled in my handwriting on the 43rd sheet of notebook paper I used to outline my latest first draft.
