Writer, musician, teacher, Daddy. Starting a new chapter of my life in rural Appalachia, looking for a life more vivid and authentic with enough time for my family. And looking to connect without generating content and profit for huge, evil corporations.
Just had to round up six runaway chickens in pouring rain, including one very aggressive rooster. I know I'm living someone's dream of country living... it just ain't mine.
And how did they escape? Our best hypothesis blames the Bigfoot we heard skulking around last night. #Appalachia

For no reason, just gonna note again that the anti-democratic movement Elon Musk's grandfather was a leader in, Technocracy Inc, thought the US should annex Venezuela and Greenland.

A reminder that the 'Technate of America' envisioned by Technocracy Inc in the 1930s - of which Elon Musk's grandfather was a high-placed leader - believed they should take over Greenland, Canada, Panama, and Venezuela.

When you see comments on Social Media defending the violence of ICE, it is worth keeping this quote in mind.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Bro, if you don't wear blackface to the RennFaire, what does your "intersectional" even MEAN?

#itsdifferentouthere - I just found out my home is so remote that USAA can't find an inspector who's willing to come inspect it for insurance... so it's on us to inspect ourselves.

New New Year's Eve tradition: throwing away all the old unmatched socks.
You have all survived an absolutely horrible year.
Nice one!
Cheers.

The tragedy of "democracy" is... Caligula's subjects never blamed themselves nor their neighbors for their overlord's madness.
The good news is: the USA's "democracy," like most, has always been a sham and a scam, so there's no shame on citizens when it fails.
Don't be gaslit.

If you're feeling bad about how hard it is to stop or undo the damage caused by billionaires, unless you're a billionaire, stop.
If you're wondering if you can do anything that matters, stop. You can.
Dark times are what pronoids call an "opportunity-rich environment."

And this bullshit? Took about 4-5 hours. 503 pieces, with a four year-old bouncing at my elbow nearly every minute of it. The aunt who bought it for him must face consequences.

Dayum, it turns out the lil' ol' #BarterTheatre in Abingdon, VA has an ensemble and crew completely capable of presenting first-rate shows that would be totally at home Off Broadway or at Arena Stage in DC! Bravo, y'all!

Okay, I guess I'm starting to enjoy the surreal idiocy that comes with having AI generating much of the news on my spew.

Due to peak holiday pricing, renting a rich guy's pool house turned out to be cheaper than a motel near Dollywood. This, it turns out, is a shower, if you're rich. #weareserfs

Weird but very 2025 dialogue with an old (radicalized) friend: "Let me get this straight - you don't support Trump, you just think everyone who opposes him, including me and my family, should be killed."
