Finished my penultimate Seven Songs #playlist for the year. Working on picking a best new record for 2024 and it ain't easy folks. #bestof2024 #records #music https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5EPTlNFvQ1pPeZzOE3aXut

Yesterday was rough, but today I feel better. I am ok with myself in this world. I am grounded and grounding. It is going to be ok. It will not be great and it will be harder for some than others, but it is going to be ok.

I am making another effort to get back to my blog starting with this week’s post about my recent decision to make a serious attempt at sobriety. I like doing the silly little blogs because they make me write about myself and what I am doing and how I am … https://t.co/y49Jmjfk2U https://t.co/t2XXSxwbeK

Maybe everyone stop writing for one second so I can get caught up?

Packing up my laptop and iPad, burning all distracting applications from my phone. Still 💯 reachable but gonna try and look at some trees and write some shit for the next month. 😘 https://t.co/ul1d29Xqeu https://t.co/eR0rius9Qh

Today is my mother’s birthday. We would live in a much better world if all men’s hearts had been forged by the women I have had the luck and the joy of being influenced by. My mother is an engine of selfless love and support, my sister is a broken, beaut… https://t.co/MB3WKdbEzE https://t.co/HUKxtKmGxD

Yes, it is a little obnoxious to have such a singular and devoted fan base, but I absolutely adore her attention.

Our whirlwind trip through Boston was so quick that Carrie wouldn’t let me rocka rocka rocka nonstop. Instead, we walked the fens, saw rad art, and whined about missing our cat. #boston #massachusetts #massholes #burns #fenway #art #artist #ModernLovers … https://t.co/RNSvvcY7SM https://t.co/lrWlAjF5FE

One of my favorite parts about grad school is getting to read things written by the folks who are teaching you. It feels slightly voyeuristic, like a secret. Now, like a big old bashful nerd, I have to ask @hadarabar to sign it for me after class.

I forgot that I had an extra copy of The Last Night at the Lobster by @stewart_onan1 and decided that it would make a good gift, but I had to reread it first. This is easily a desert island top five book for me. There is so much sentiment, and so much bl… https://t.co/FLmoVY1Iue https://t.co/FlZyXBKrMw

Getting time in Maine refills my porous heart. The random magic constantly feels like home. Pizza @theuprootpieco cocktails @lucespirits random Russian Literature chat with @voila_deadgowns and then the best damn smoked haddock of my life @sammysdeluxe. … https://t.co/NujmGsbrMu https://t.co/2VbhK4vpMq

I needed a visible, physical representation of where my stories are and how close to submission I have gotten them. Any other suggestions? #writing #writers #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #story #stories #Maine #Duh #publishing https://t.co/RfNlp738fi https://t.co/jP7prA6ZuO

I feel like we are in a golden age of film and I wish there wasn't genocide and trans kids dying so I could enjoy it.

@KCStar just called me for the sixth time. This is almost as frustrating as dealing with @comcast bullshit.
