Abandoned oil and gas wells pose environmental and public health risks. For three decades, the state has mismanaged funds earmarked for minimizing the threat.

I looked up the real answer, but it’s boring, so I’m just going to stay irritated at the concept of putting crackers in a barrel. Why would anyone do that? Crackers are square. Barrels are round. The geometry is unpleasant to imagine. Also fuck ICE.

Looking for an editor to look at about 8-10,000 words for me every month. 2-3 short pieces for patreon and one short story. Mostly line edits and proofreads. I typically publish every Sunday (my schedule has been wildly off lately but mostly steady for four years). Happy to discuss pay rate.
