Thanks, John Cena. Truly a legend.

And that was the last WWE broadcast I will ever watch unless they stop taking blood money from Saudi Arabia.

Man, there's a lectern right behind you...just...just use that...stop being an authoritarian motivational speaker...

Beautiful Words, Words Beautiful This palindrome poem was for a graduate of mine who loved writing poetry. They wanted me to write a type of poem they'd never seen before.

Pretty proud of this one. open.substack.com/pub/basnobea...

First time diving into @writingbattle.bsky.social and, while I didn't make it out of the House rounds, I was only 1 win short. Pretty proud of my little nanofiction!

I enjoy finding quiet places to do some writing, like the courtyard garden of a hotel that I'm not staying at.

My god, look at this fluff bug. He was feeling particularly cuddly this morning. #catsofbluesky #cats

I've really thought about it but I keep coming back to the same conclusion: #PinkPonyClub is pound-for-pound the best song that has been written in the last decade. Unapologetic, uplifting, and feels like an anthem that is welcoming everyone to be whoever they want to be. It's Hope distilled.

Was told by a kid that I look like I should be in the Dropkick Murphys. That might be the coolest compliment I've ever received.

Excited to see Weird Al in Vegas tonight!

Chase Chrisley breaks silence on his parents' pardons Kyle and Lindsie Chrisley also shared their initial reactions in new statements following Tuesday's announcement of the pardons.

Always nice to see rich, privileged white folks help other rich, privileged white folks avoid consequences for being terrible people.

These are my "after-therapy session" counselors.

I've been writing this noir novel for almost two years and I'm finally at 32,000 words. Only 18,000 more to reach my minimum goal. 😮‍💨👍

Very interested in the direction this Avatar tale will be going.

UN Headquarters.

Such violence from good Sir Paul Dangerously.

'It's time for you to leave:' DHS gives refugee families in Utah who say they have active visas 7 days to leave Three refugee families who are in the country legally got a shocking and upsetting letter from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security telling them in part – “It’s time for you to leave the United St...

"The point is, there is no feasible excuse for what are, for what we have made of ourselves. We have chosen to put profits before people, money before morality, dividends before decency, fanaticism before fairness, and our own trivial comforts before the unspeakable agonies of others."

If paying taxes determines your worth, then yikes for Elon, Jeff, Mark, Donald...

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Hey, not sure if you've been doing this, but this is a friendly reminder to call your representatives to demand action against the current administration's quest for authoritarianism. Even if you know they won't listen, become annoying as hell and waste their and their staff's time. Wear'em down.

I love that, out of everyone, Kofi seems to be the one who absolutely locked in on the flexible tone and killed it with his character work. Gravitas and stink cloud combined.

He drinks a whiskey drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sends a text that remind him of the war plans
He sends a text that reminds him of the war crimes

John Cena using 25 years of knowing what fans will do at every given moment in order to make them look dumb and easily manipulated is probably my favorite thing happening in wrestling right now. #TheFansAreTheHeels #wwe #johncena

Sometimes things aren't so bad. Evening walks while listening to podcasts and a stop in a park to read a book are rad.
(Yes, I photographed myself looking pensive because I want to remind myself of this on days I forget. 😎)

Those cars were just skipping the cutscene and going straight to the end. Nothing wrong with wanting to get to the action.

Dogma

I see a pattern forming...

In order to fix a glitched quest (Simba's quest that gets you the Dreamlight tree), I had to time travel a week. Now I'm punished until I reach that actual day because the game won't advance until we pass it. Can't harvest herbs, no wood spawns, the day doesn't move on for anyone. Sucks. #dreamlight

There's rolling boycotts the rest of the month

Dystopia It's not even subtle.

Went ahead and added that poem to my Substack.
