Essayist, critic, poet, songwriter, golfer, Dylanologist, gender traitor: overthink it.
Is it just me or is it getting increasingly difficult, in terms of litmag rejections, to distinguish between “we are so grateful for your work it is a gift and an honor though we can’t publish it we are unimaginably fortunate that you sent it our way” and “please try us again”?

When leaving a toxic relationship, a person must endure a certain amount of slander. I've learned it's better to lay down the people pleasing and perfectionism and welcome the accusations. The sooner that happens, the sooner everyone can move on with their lives. #folk #rock #folkrock #bobdylan

Making jokes is all that matters
Me: sometimes i can’t tell if you like my jokes or not
@paulhaney.bsky.social: liking them is not the point. [takes a beat] i like that you make them.

Why is the hmm 🤔 emoji so judgmental? I love when people make me go hmmm. If anything, the expression should be neutral to positive. Why wouldn’t we want to think? 🤔 🤔 🤔

Mom asked when all this queer and trans stuff started so I told her the truth: Michelle Obama handed out pamphlets at Barack's second inauguration and we just ran with it. It only took her several seconds to stop nodding and go "wait -- you're messing with me aren't you?"
