So far, editors like my novel, but because I’m a nobody, they don’t think their acquisition boards will buy it. So their advice is to get published with short stories at places and then they’ll reconsider. I’m exhausted. #writesky #writing

Maybe we'll keep some InfoWars content up.

I wish I was a fan of edging because I would very much enjoy the process of my book sitting in submission purgatory rather than feeling complete agony. #writesky

My favorite place to write on Earth. Second novel complete :)

Laker Fans Furious As Bam Adebayo Dies In Even Worse Helicopter Crash

The world is an unrelenting hellscape but it’s beautiful out in Boston and it’s giving me life. Hope is the ice melting on the Charles and the Esplanade full of people running to a better day.

My novel sitting in publisher submission limbo has made me second guess my writing ability a bit. I’ve kept on with writing regardless and the feedback from peers on my new novel has stopped the anguish a bit and I’m so thankful for them. Find honest critics you trust. #writing #writesky

Have said this before in other forms, but will reiterate it here: if you're doing long-form writing of any sort, reading the words aloud into a microphone is a completely unparalleled cheat code. It's free, easy, and so effective it feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I do it in a few stages...

the first time you stand on a Boston streetcorner and notice that there are three Dunkin' Donuts within eyeshot is a transcendental experience

If you respect yourself I greatly recommend simply not watching any cable TV news for the foreseeable future. Or ever, really. You'd be better informed binging the muppet show.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

How many people have to be killed in broad daylight for democrats to show a spine

Live in reality and do your job and help your constituents or leave. Shame on you.

This dude is intense and correct

And we all just have to keep clocking in, keep paying the bills, keep paying our taxes, keep checking our credit scores, keep marching along funding the machinations of a fascist state just to keep the lights on 🙃

Hot take (?): if you are anti-vax and your child dies from your stupidity you should go to prison.

before you decide you don't want to vaccinate your children you should have to take a 4 hour cemetery tour with me where i point out every tiny little headstone of a child that died from a preventable disease and is buried with their parents who would have done anything to save them

it's almost as if the raw quest for engagement free of ethical guardrails and regulatory oversight at impossible scale all overseen by a sociopathic extraction class was a bad idea

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

In the midst of my first submission process and I have to say, the waiting game from publishers is stressing me out and it’s only been a month. I am grateful I’ve gotten this far at all, but man, this is tough. I guess if you’re into edging this would be fun? #booksky #writing #writesky

Agent let me know I received my first rejection from a major publisher. Disappointed but trying to feel proud I’ve even got this far. Still plenty more publishers with the manuscript in their hands so just continuing to wait and thinking positive. #booksky #writing

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

Someone who I once considered a friend told me he doesn’t care what happens as long the stock market is doing well. I think there are more people like him than we realize. They believe in nothing.

this is the part of fascism that is just completely inescapable and it is fucking infuriating every day they go out there and they lie and they lie and they know they’re lying and we know they’re lying and that’s the whole point of the lying and I hate it and I hate them

if "bigballs attacked by two 15 year olds" is our Reichstag fire then i officially declare an end to history because we don't want anybody reading that shit later

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

they ask politicians like Mamdani if they are communists but they never ask anyone if they are a fascist and that's all you really need to know

This election has proven without a doubt the lengths Dem establishment will go to keep working class people and ideas out of government.

This is the exact thing— these people are just going for broke and achieving personal hatred goals because yolo? They can fuck all kinds of shit up & walk away smiling because we don’t do consequences for government people here

Many in modern society still believe the insane to only live on street corners and not in the highest influences of power. People simply still refuse to accept how insane the powerful are.

Do you ever think, if this insanity ever ends, how we will ever interpret our history? Will it go something like “we followed agreed upon societal guidelines for the most part and then we didn’t, and it was never the same, we could never go back. Not really.”

“i asked chat gpt” “i asked grok” Jeeves would kill you where you stand

Maybe quit voting for their fucking bills then? Maybe quit confirming their nominees? Maybe shut down the Senate with the many procedural tools available to you? Maybe do something other than send sternly worded letters?

Standing up for the silent majority of voters who celebrate and treasure their right as Americans to owe $11,000 for getting rushed to the hospital on one of the worst days of their lives. It's called "being moderate" and it's how you win elections.

CORMAC MCCARTHY: He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die. JOE ROGAN: sure. I've met guys like that

Can't wait to have an AI analyze my CT scan and come back with the 14 words
