if you have successfully completed the full 12 weeks of The Artist’s Way, how was it for you?

Today is my 1947th day of sobriety. I like that number, much like I’ve liked every day of the last five plus years. Even the hard ones. IWNDWYT 💖

shocking update: just took my dog for a walk and had an 80+ year old woman address me, a 30+ year old teenager, as “ma’am”

Am I in a great mood today or did I just get enough sleep for once?

I read a bunch of books and reflected on grief during my radical sabbatical. And stayed #sober. And tried some non-alcoholic beverages. joyjuice.substack.com/p/how-i-spen...

I’m heading to #LasVegas and am looking forward to exploring the #nonalcoholic beverage scene. If you have any recs, let me know (DM me, or my email is in my bio). Cheers!

I’m back from sabbatical! Here are some of the non-alcoholic beverages I tried in the last week.

I'm less into the Super Bowl than many of you so when the guy at the bodega says unprompted "enjoy the game!" I choose to assume that he means the great game of life, of romance, of human existence. C'est la belle vie!

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity.

Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

If you're protesting tomorrow:

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."

MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵
