That’s why I spent weeks dialing in the format for my self published books. I LOVE the MMPB format. I have larger formats available but I prefer this size.

Want to support an indie author who doesn’t use AI? I painstakingly recreated the Mass Market Paperback format and drew the covers of my two self-published books myself.

Why is this look a trend among young men these days? Seriously, had an electrician come to our house looking like Will Ferrell in the Cowbell sketch.

Crazy, but that's how it goes Millions of people living as foes Maybe it's not too late To learn how to love And forget how to hate Mental wounds not healing Life's a bitter shame I'm going off the rails on a crazy train I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Kevin James is playing “Matt” in a film coming in 2026. Solo Mio description: After being left at the altar in Rome, Matt goes on his honeymoon alone, discovering Italy's gorgeous landscape, culture, and people.

It looks like they’ve torn everything down to the red line. Way more than was original proposed. Also, all of this was done without any proper approval. A historic building just gone in a couple of days with no permits. This is actually a crime, people.

Forrest Gump. The projector bulb burned out and I didn’t get to see the rest of the movie until it came out on VHS. M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening. The film was projected improperly so the boom mic was visible the entire film. See pic: red is what we should’ve seen. Yellow is what we did see.

I did this search on Instagram the other day to send a video to a friend who just thought Charlie was a good Christian. Today? The search shows NOTHING. You can easily find clips of the assassination, but this brought up NOTHING.

Today in this administration’s racism. Roughly 60% of black men suffer from a condition that grants them a medical exception for shaving. Clearly targeted to get rid of black men. The second one speaks for itself.

I have always loved "Edelweiss" from The Sound of Music. It's about more than a flower. It's about life thriving under fascism, of the quiet resistance that can get us through it. It's amazing I got through the song without crying. #thesoundofmusic60thanniversary #edelweiss
