Hello! I'm Matt, finally jumping ship from The Bad Place in search of bluer skies...

I'm a writer, avid reader, film and TV enthusiast, and dad to a little boy with Down Syndrome who also just happens to be the best kid in the world.

So happy to be here with all of you!

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

There’s something deeply ironic in singing about Applebee's Oreo shakes on a veggie float

This is wild
Elon admits that any post on X with a link is throttled

He advises you to upload content directly to X instead, where he can monetize it

Musk is the richest person in the world and his view is everyone should work for him for free

I hate when they take away things you were just starting to really enjoy, like your favorite TV show or democracy.

It’s true that finding MAGA trolls and nuking them into oblivion on this app is sooooooo satisfying

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Can we all agree that including .bsky.social in the @ handle is a tad clunky

Don’t like a book? Don’t read it. Pretty simple.

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.

It's really wild to see just how many bookish people were being suppressed in my feed on X. I'm seeing posts and interactions here by people I haven't heard from in months, even though we were still on the old platform.

I am happy to inform you that it's November 16 and officially corny Christmas movie season, which in my household we affectionately call Moviemas. Happy Moviemas!!
