At first, the assassin was turned in by his father, a local right wing Utah sheriff and this kid followed a farther right groyper. Now, the BBC is regurgitating a narrative that he was turned in by his transgender lover, was a gamer and into furries. Seriously?
No wonder mass media is dying. Ffs

Some of the complaints we've received are a little hippo critical, which is a shame because she's very sensitive.

So far my summer of #writing has been a summer of #painting 300 boards this color for the $$$.

So how's my summer?

My therapist says I find damaged people and try to fix them. I pointed out that's what he does, and now I am in need of a new therapist.

#camping and #writing without the internet doesn't work if you have a Chromebook and need access to your google drive.

Had to old school it on paper.

The worst place to people watch is a public pool.
It would be even weirder if I didn't have my kid here.

The fun part about reading in public is getting to eavesdrop on strange conversations. Beside me, someone is having a very animated discussion on his phone about his yellow toe with either a doctor or his mother.

But my book is good too. It's Eleanor Rigby by Douglas Coupland.
