August Heckathorn @spectraltrails.bsky.social · 31/12/2024I just had a flashback to that year when Rhonda Rousey was the biggest celebrity in the world. I choose to believe this is a prophecy. I don’t know what it means. 000
August Heckathorn @spectraltrails.bsky.social · 30/12/2024There’s something inanely claustrophobic about orientations. What conspiracy of HR professionals is responsible for trapping us in their puzzle boxes of corporatization? 000

August Heckathorn @spectraltrails.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Watching the new dune show and I have two thoughts immediately: 1. Wow, this looks expensive 2. Wow, this is some lazy writing 000
August Heckathorn @spectraltrails.bsky.social · 07/11/2024My favorite thing about teaching younger students is that the weird kids are weird in the exact same way when I was one. In 40 years there will still be kids with big headphones and wolf shirts drawing comics in the back of class. 000
August Heckathorn @spectraltrails.bsky.social · 07/11/2024It's crazy to me that the apex of leftist cultural cache was only four years ago and we have swung back this hard with so little to show for it. 000

August Heckathorn @spectraltrails.bsky.social · 06/11/2024One of the many things that frustrates me about this is all the people saying they voted for Trump because of the economy. What about a serial grifter who bankrupts himself every Tuesday to avoid paying his tab makes you think he can run an economy? 000

August Heckathorn @spectraltrails.bsky.social · 16/06/2024Readings are so humiliating. I swear they were invented to torture people into no longer writing. 000
August Heckathorn @spectraltrails.bsky.social · 14/06/2024Writing is weird. I wrote a story about my grandmother. It was the first time I really confronted her passing. I never felt the closeness to her memory so many other, doubtless better, writers speak of. What I did feel was my own sense of her taking shape. I don’t know her better. Just how I did. 000
