Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Many favorites, but the one that comes first to my mind is from Joe Henry’s “Great Lake”: “Anymore I hear somebody laughing, I just figure I been took.” 020

Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026This kind of unrelieved-at-night heat wave always reminds me of David Simon’s Homicide, the part about the murder rate always going up. 0103
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Happy Father's Day 1986 to then-precancerous dads not yet worried about how much time may be left. 040

Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Who needs battle ropes when you can just launder and refit your duvet cover. 172
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Me: I smell the grape silly putty, but where is it? Willa (age 6): It’s in the bed. Me: Your bed? Willa: No! Their bed. [points at living room floor] Their bed: 050
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I didn’t understand how prolific I was with “nevertheless” as a retort to my 6-year-old daughter until she countered with “nevertheNOTless.” Checkmated. 0120
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 20/02/2026This is like being in a concert hall and hearing all of Born to Run play as the preshow music and you know the curtain is about to go up on Gallagher and 16 watermelons alone onstage, somehow in a good way. 251

Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Begging Costco to resume stocking Thomas English muffins. You don’t have to stop selling Farm to Market’s flavorless, weirdly spongy version, but people need another option. 020

Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 24/12/2025Shout out to the person who left a giant roll of thick, high-quality Christmas wrapping paper (the kind with a helpful grid on the back) next to one of the vacuums at the self-service car wash one evening in June 2020. Still has a few gifts left in it. Thanks, friend. 270
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 20/12/2025Would have grabbed this anyway, but I also believe an inscription such as this deserves a loving home. (I can’t think of a positive reason for it to have turned up used.) 050
Scott Wilson @scottwilsonkc.bsky.social · 16/12/2025I'm a longtime Poetry subscriber, and this really disappoints me. I hope the foundation reverses course. 030
