A lot of different thoughts worming through my head. Need to get them out into the world somehow.
Into literature as reader and writer, the arts, the mind, society and life
NOT to be confused for brain worms

Between the work worms, social worms, writing worms, reading worms, and the scrolling worms, I haven’t had many worms for my lil Substack I started last year. But maybe in the new year I’ll get it going again!

On this Victory in Europe Day, the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, an important reminder that the Nazis are losers. Awful, terrible losers. #veday #80yearsover #wwii

Somebody has got to get everyone together and say, “You know what guys? Let’s just default to Standard Time and leave it at that. No complaints” and put a stop to this time-changing nonsense. #standardtimeonly #timechange #daylightsavings #summertime

I will never understand people who spread hate… like, there’s enough pain and suffering in the world without y’all having to add to it

the reason an MFA doesnt improve your writing is because it cant instill in you the single most important quality for a good writer to have: being an absolute weirdo who really wants to make people understand the perverse undulations of their gremlin brain

Walking through the freezing dark, with frost-crusted trees and streetlights aglow in the mist, I see what the Victorians were on about with Christmas ghost stories. There is a spooky mysterious magic to the winter season

Today is once again #festivus so it’s time for the annual airing of grievances. This year I’ve had a real problem with fearmongers demonizing entire groups of people for purely arbitrary characteristics. SHAME!

A.I. and corporate lingo are trapping language yn the drugged realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Language sholde have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake and leave honest dirtye footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Wielde them.

Considering therapy??? How much lower can men get before they actually go? How to save them from the indignity of talking about their feelings to a third-party professional???

I have spent so many years thinking I was an introvert. But recently I’ve come to realize I am actually kind of extroverted. People CAN boost my energy — they just have to be the right kind of people
(It was probably just social anxiety all along!)
