If you are the sort of dude who has misgivings about these discussions surrounding sexual assault or feels the need to say “not all men”, I implore you to develop some platonic female relationships. You’ll find out REAL QUICK how carefully curated a bubble you’re in and how often this shit happens.

I really did come out of hard burnout this year and didn’t notice. I just wish my bank account was reflective of the effort. I’m tired of writing while fighting to keep a roof over my head at the same time. In the voice of of that one Grey’s meme: “SOMEBODY BUY SOMETHING FROM ME!”

I was saying to a friend last night that, despite the hellmouth my life has been for financial and stability, this year has been one of my strongest creatively. So far: 1 drama pilot 1 podcast pilot 3 series treatments 2 feature treatments Wouldn’t mind adding 1 short story to the list.

Story is planned to be split into two halves. Closer to two stories in one. In a collection, I'd like to imagine the two halves would bookend the beginning and end. I feel like I've passed the halfway point of the first half, so that's good. Trying real hard not to let the totality cross 10,000wds.

Dakota’s taking the very neurodivergently innocent approach of, “what if the lie was because they wanted to impress me?” I get it. But Anne is ultimately right.

If you want to see a great comedy about an evil corporation run by a cartoon character who speaks with an outrageous southern accent, you should skip DIGGER and watch COYOTE VS. ACME instead.

Passed 2,500 words in the short story. I'm not enjoying writing it. I don't enjoy writing fiction prose. But I'm too far in now to not finish it, simply if just out of spite.

Ken Paxton is correct. He only RECOMMENDED that the man only serve one day. The judge thought that was crazy and gave him sixty, against Paxton's wishes. ONLY sixty. Keep weaving that rope to hang yourself with, Ken.

That Choosin' Texas nonsense is 100% cope. Conservatives need a win and would like to believe Conservative coded media is dominating, rather than the sad truth that the Billboard charts haven't functioned properly for years, and is no real barometer of what most people are really listening to.
