Hustling books at the Omaha Book Fest this weekend. Met a lot of really cool indie authors, each with their own unique story. People are cool.

As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators of all sorts. If you have the means, buy a book, sign up for someone's Patreon, commission an art piece. It's also a lovely day to leave a nice comment, post a short review, spread the word about someone's work. Everything helps.

Really enjoyed the opportunity to speak about my memoir and the desire to move people through my story with @authorbwthomas.bsky.social. It's created a lot of human connection, which I treasure but hadn't necessarily forecasted.

When I walk as a counseling grad, I'm going to write HEAL on my cap. But I'm going to spell it wrong. "HEEL" And when I get on stage, I'm going to steal the mic and yell about all this "malarkey," then smash the Dean through a desk and attack some alumni from the top turnbuckle
