We’ll be talking about “basket of deplorables” for the rest of our lives and the media spent the entire last week of the 2024 campaign obsessing over Biden mumbling something maybe critical of Trump voters, or maybe not

No problem

Remember when Justin Bieber’s nudes leaked and his dad tweeted like “Yeah my son has a big dick and I’m proud of him” and deleted it 5 minutes later

When you’re as good at sleep training as I am, that’s not an issue

I’ll sleep train your kid, no problem

Waldo and Joyce Carol Oates

I really need to have a conversation with him about all this

Just spent ten bucks to rent The Strangers: Chapter 2 (14% on Rotten Tomatoes) so no I actually don’t think I should be allowed to vote

Amazing! Congratulations!

He says hello back

Busy with sweet potatoes

Yeah

I don’t know how interested in this TED would be, but I’m glad ELIAS is :)

I’m going to cure them with all the rest but I’m genuinely curious how they’ll taste this big. They didn’t overwinter or anything though, I grew them on the same schedule as always. They’re just totally massive.

This is just a fraction of what we harvested this morning, and that’s only a fraction of how much is still left to be harvested. I’d guess we’ll end up with about 300 pounds of sweet potatoes. Bonkers haul.

Look at these sweet potatoes my students grew

Feels good

TIME Person of the Year Chris Scott

This is fantastic. You've written some seriously great stuff this year.

New flash out with Hex Literary about the horror of childhood and the allure of finally finding an escape! I’m proud of this one!

“Eli says he wants to show me a secret. He says even his mom doesn’t know it, and she’s always spying on him trying to figure it out.”

The “six seven” backlash has begun amongst my students fyi (I tried saying it one time and they all booed me)

Legitimately all-timer of an ending. I cannot believe these people are real.

Sometimes I wondered: Was I the brain worm? Were all of us merely worms inside this man's beautiful, mysterious brain?

Thank you!

I also fucked RFK Jr. by the way

Repeating "Females are turning out in droves to see 'Now You See Me: Now You Don’t'" over and over until my brain is evacuated of all thought and fear, like a Zen koan
