what the hell

Jumped in a lake to save my daughter’s ball, I’m pretty much a hero

Back in the midwest and I’m in front of a bonfire within half an hour

My daughter's at summer camp at our local nature center, and every day I get pictures of her playing in the creek and meeting different animals and painting and making crafts and man, I think I just want to quit my job and go to summer camp.

Recently learned about SOFT PLAY and man oh man I can't stop listening.

New Boots by D.T. Robbins The UPS driver doesn’t even get the chance to ring the doorbell. I’m already on my front porch, in my socks and jeans and an old, faded t-shirt. I tear the box open and slide the boots on. The fit is…

this new story from D.T. Robbins is a perfect example of this joyful energy & momentum in so much of D.T.'s writing that makes him such a singular & fun writer

I’m pretty sure turning toward your partner at an Offspring concert and screaming DANCE FUCKER DANCE in unison counts as a love language

Happy birthday dude!

This story is sad and sweet and nostalgic and I love everything about it.

Such a great book!!

Didn’t know what to do for the fourth yesterday, so I got a lil MOTORAZR tattoo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One of my favorite things is to find a book (or song or tv show or anything, really) that makes me stop and look at the world with a little more of a sense of wonder. @tmcallister.bsky.social’s latest does that but also so much more. It’s funny and honest and sad and such a goddamn treat.

@barrelhouse.bsky.social writer camp with all the best vibes
