PM me if you'd like an free, advance copy of my new novella, Little Hero. It's around 14,000 words and five chapters. I plan to have seven books total in the series.

Most avid readers could finish it in an afternoon.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

This is not the post I thought I'd be writing today but as of this morning my position has been eliminated and I was laid off from the National Audubon Society so if you're looking for someone who has a lot of experience writing to help make the world a better place: hi.

I received an unsolicited text "survey" on my phone from "Restoration of America" -- a right-wing, Christian advocacy group -- so I decided to have some fun.

It took less than 10 minutes to break their little texting bot. Best part of my day!

10/10 - Highly recommended!

Just added a few hundred more words to chapter 2 of the sequel to Little Hero. Might have it done soon! But probably not.

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

I spent a couple of weeks in Decatur, GA just a few blocks from the Hell Yeah Gluten Free bakery. I missed their AMAZING biscuits as soon as I got back home. So I tried to reverse engineer them. It's a lot of work and not nearly as good but I'm getting there!

Not to brag, but I just fucking nailed my own custom gluten-free, non-dairy cinnamon roll recipe. It took a lot of effort, but this evening's batch was fucking delicious!!!!

Now I just need to make them pretty.

Question of etiquette...

When you have a post that says "PM me for an advanced copy of my book" and someone LIKES the post do you send them a copy?

I mean, I'm beginning to think there's people out there that may not know the difference and I don't want to leave them disappointed.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
