Studies show this song drastically improves the fast-twitch musculature of even novice combat fighters. Boxers can carve holes in a heavy bag. Jujitsu practitioners can bend steel.

Studies show that playing this song on repeat for ~15 minutes increased VO2 max in even the most undertrained runners. Treadmills were replaced once test subjects soared beyond 20MPH

Yesterday, I wrapped up my genre-bending, apocalyptic novel, MEAT DEPOT, and gave it a colophon. It took me just under 3 years to get here from literally nothing. Had a fat steak burrito to celebrate. It was also a nice anniversary. Happy 65th heavenly birthday, Mom.

I’m looking forward to chatting about technology & the environment next month for the Uplifting Voices Project. Hoping to give you all some insight on independent publishing and our battle against AI. Makes walking around outside with a book more lucrative, yeah?

Harry S. Yost created this painting in Coatesville, Pennsylvania circa 1989. This canvas is 1/4” thick & 12x14” A marvelous, wild, landscape of a mountain range and river. I adorned the backing with moss and a peacock feather across the top. Cheers Harry. Your art shall be remembered and honored.

Another story of mine has seen the light of day. “Homecoming” a young adult woman returns home, only to leave the memories and traumas behind for good. See 1/2 of it here 👀 Give it a read at Sinkhole Quarterly issue 4, which is centered around rebellion. Thanks for reading and supporting. 🏚️🚗
