My friends gave me enough notice (several years) that they were planning on having a baby, so I was able to make them a children's book about their cat going to look for them after they leave for the hospital to have their son.

Reminder that your odds of being attacked by a turkey are higher than you might think, so it’s important to stay vigilant and eat those motherfuckers before they try to eat you #TurkeyAttackSurvivor

(Happy Thanksgiving, pals!)

Tech bros, stop making plagiarism machines and instead develop an app that connects people like me (good at words) with grieving people who need pro bono help writing and proofreading obituaries for their loved ones. It would be such a nice thing to do for people having a hard time.

According to Sam Bankman-Fried, Trad Widow is statistically more likely to be a great work of literature than Hamlet.

Trust SBF. He has never been wrong. Read Trad Widow today.

I was thinking that mounting the flashlight switch below the trigger deserves to be in some kind of Hall of Fame for terrible design. Then a pal said, "Forget about the switch. Think about it--they can only illuminate something by pointing a gun at it!"

Readers of my novel Trad Widow have told me "none of these words are in the Bible"

Recent analysis reveals that 29.6% of the words in Trad Widow actually appear in the King James Bible
