My gums were going through recession before it was cool

The Time I Was Surrounded by Alligators Alone After Sundown I got into long-distance running several years ago. One time my feet carried me right into the middle of a big pile of alligators... after dark. I shan't be doing that again.

The Daily Note: November 6, 2025 [Introducing my new typewriter!] My typewriter arrived yesterday and I've been pretty much obsessed with it ever since. Today, I took it for a spin.

Daily Note: November 5, 2025 I changed the title of this thing I'm doing to "Daily Note" because it just feels better and it's less to write 😜 And yes, I'm back on Beehiiv with this one. Take two.

Today I reminisce about the time I saw my teacher slap a kid in the face and got gaslit about it! behold-the-spirit.beehiiv.com/p/the-time-m...

The gateway experience wave 2 threshold cd sits in my cd player. Tracks include introduction to focus 12 and problem solving.

Anybody on here get down with Gateway Experience?

Just found you on Rattle, which led me here!

All right, y’all hit me with your best Apple iPhone alternatives, please. I am prioritizing privacy, security, and simplicity.

I am trying to break my screen time addiction. And I am also moving away from the cloud.

MY TYPEWRITER ARRIVES THIS WEEK

I am joining the typewriter club

I am elated

🤗

Relationships take work, and they help you work on yourself, too.

I just ordered a hip carrier for my CD player. I’m returning to the 90s, in certain ways, in an effort to counteract the overwhelming effect of phones and devices that can do everything at once.

I enjoy holding a CD, looking at the artwork, turning it over in my hands, reading the lyrics.

Today, I share a Blackwing Pencil update, a NaNoWriMo update, and a Jimmy Eat World song.

Live and in Pencil: Friday, October 24, 2025 Tom Campbell is on the Danny Jones Podcast, so I talk a bit about his unique worldview and his early work and friendship with Bob Monroe of The Monroe Institute fame.

I posted a new handwritten page of ramblin’ about Tom Campbell, consciousness, and his wild adventures with Bob Monroe in the 1970s. Please do give it a read! Bonus photo of Mazzy inside 😉

Any of y’all have psychic abilities? (lol but really)

Same. Going down rabbit holes in search of the next great rabbit hole. Haha

Smart TVs suck. I’m thinking of getting a decent computer monitor and mounting it to the wall with a Raspberry Pi media setup. Anyone done something like this?

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

To the FBI agent(s) assigned to my account: I hope you’re having a great day and your coffee is to your liking. Fuck fascism, too! 😝

This fucking guy

More outright murder is on the menu from the US government

@foxphorescence.bsky.social yo what up fellow autodidact 🫡

Hi everyone who has followed me! Im looking to connect over things like: literature, writing, spirituality, occultism, philosophy, music, printmaking, typewriters, journaling, poetry, anti-fascism, ADHD adults, futurism, extraterrestrials, breakaway civilizations, mysticism, and anything tangential!

My Perfect Home Office vs. The Soul-Crushing Fluorescent Hellscape This really could've been a Teams meeting, guys. (Stay for the bonus photos.)

As a remote worker, it really grinds my gears when I have to drive into the office for a meeting… I wrote about that, The Monroe Institute, and more.

I used to work in corporate legal and holy shit this is a dark trend! People had better start voting with their wallets starting, like, yesterday

@mnarmintor.bsky.social hi professor, your 3000 level class on meta analysis (can’t recall the course name now) at UNT remains one of the most impactful courses I’ve ever taken. Just wanted you to know that. ☺️

Omg starter packs are a brilliant idea!!!
