Writer/Teacher. WE ARE GHOST LIT out now from Braddock Avenue Books (he/him)
Really enjoying it so far. Still not sure what the show is, or is going to be, and that’s part of the fun for now. But there’s a lot I like about it so far.

(For the record: I think Breaking Bad is very overrated, and Better Call Saul is still a little underrated.)

Oh damn! Had no idea someone had written a book about the black swamp area. Tracking that one down for sure!

Only saw Beatle Bob once after moving to STL, at a basement DJ set in 2016. I heard he was a pain, shoplifted from record stores and tried to bully his way into shows for free—but man, still kinda iconic. I love that my beloved hometown band put out a song in honor of a guy from my current home.

I’ve actually been really digging the weirder, progier structures GBV have been playing with for the last few years, but Thick, Rich, and Delicious is so fun, so satisfying, so beautifully produced—it’s pure power pop bliss, and I’m here for it.

Oh hey—been meaning to ask someone. Did yours come with a lyric sheet?

Man, I really love it. Stoked for you to give it a first spin!

What the Blue Jays really need to do if they want to win is to score more runs than those pesky Dodgers.

You know, thinking about Metallic Realms, and thinking about season 3 of Fargo with the robot cartoon in an episode and, well—Noah Hawley could probably make a badass limited series of it.

What about the position that AI wouldn’t even be functional had it not been trained on work stolen from talented humans?

God you fuckers are awful.
