Ch 2 a lot worse lol

Commencing initial read and tbh chapter 1 isn’t that ass

A complete yet shitty draft of part 1 of the unpublished novel Saints Harbor by the novelist Josh Boardman

I did it

Hearing lots of loons on the water. Rainy day today. Finishing my book, surely

Go new york go new york go

Mark of a successful life: navigate the beginning of May without any embarrassing Star Wars jokes crossing my path, or even touching my mind

Learned today that my Waltik is haram 😢

Moved back to Brooklyn and immediately Instagram started targeting me for ads for depression

My self-esteem was not raised from throwing an epic AWP party that people are substacking about. This is bullshit!

It feels like the framing of “right” and “left” is suspect here. The message of Charlie Kirk is substantially different from that of Theo Von, for example. TYT and Trevor Noah don’t have a lot of overlap. I feel like the USA political compass is currently recalibrating, and Dems haven’t adapted

Slam dunk in the garbage can at the cafe

✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 Slava Ukraini from the US ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Who else self releasing chapbooks these days

Why haven’t congresspeople decided to sue the executive, like republicans did to Obama?
