I am honored to be on the STARLOG podcast with Jordan—I haven't had this much fun in a while, talking about a movie that legit means the world to me. One shall stand, one shall fall!

"It’s funny how you don’t know you’re crying until you can taste the salt in your mouth." In 2001 I had never been to New York. Now we're there a few times a year, long weekends to see bands, a week for our anniversary. As we wander the city on foot this essay is never far from my mind.

Yes, sorry, but here you go: an essay about 9/11. (Sorry) I was 27 then. Jesus. I am sympathetic to those who were children, or not even born, on 9/11 and who have spent their lives having to mourn that day. It’s a myth now, a story. This is mine. johndevore.substack.com/p/advice-for...

I wrote about devil's lettuce and sobriety for @insidehook.bsky.social, and I asked the question, "Is everyone stoned but me?" www.insidehook.com/experiences/...

Everyone Is Stoned But Me
I gave up getting high decades ago. Now I have to deal with weed being chic and normies getting stoned 24/7.
