Amazing. Almost didn’t listen because it’s billed as a tiktok phenomenon or something. But very glad I did.

Big ol stack of books. TBR + in progress
A stack of books on a wood table with a small pencil plant and bottle of whiskey next to the stack. The books are the naked and the dead, hey you assholes, a shameful life, the elephant vanishes, are you happy, boxcutters, how to write a novel, 7 habits of highly effective people, north station, peace is every step, how to sell a haunted house, Lazarus man, an artist of the floating world, the unconsoled, and playing to win

Recently subscribed to the local paper. Glad I did. I’ve been saving this story all day as a little treat.

New battery in the 2012 MacBook! Haven’t used this thing in a very long time. Figured I’d change the battery while I knew it was dead. Now to try to boot it up…

This is a screenshot from the linked article. Header: Exploding pagers. Image: Photo of a pager superimposed over a dramatic explosion on a light blue background. Text: They beeped, and then they blew up.

This happened with a cement plant too but every time I see a weird structure like this bridge tender shack I want to write a story about it

Just never know what that story should be
