Writer, musician, teacher, Daddy. Starting a new chapter of my life in rural Appalachia, looking for a life more vivid and authentic with enough time for my family. And looking to connect without generating content and profit for huge, evil corporations.

Pretty sure this is the first time I've ever wished my nation could be more like Hungary.

Our day will come.

my family tree
is a long line of failures
mostly suicides

it's harder, but at least you

Why I love solitaire: you know you'll probably lose and usually can't win, but your job is still to look for opportunities to organize and coordinate resources, because just maybe this time you might could make it all work. #mightcould
My third time reading through "His Dark Materials," and it strikes me as a suitably cynical answer to the question, "What if science could really grasp, measure and study the soul?" Pullman's answer: we'd torture working-class children to experiment and exploit it.
Just when you thought the weirdest thing about living in #Appalachia was the fact that "farm country" is a food desert...someone invites you to a kids' birthday party at the fundamentalist church, and the theme is...dinosaurs.
The term "flyover country" hits different when you're looking up from said country at the planes full of passengers looking down on you, knowing that even when they land they will never stop looking down on you.

Hey, a very sweet and well-behaved 13 month-old half Rottweiler half Irish wolfhound has come our way and needs a home and all the shelters down here are full. Male. Any help finding him a shelter or home ASAP would be much appreciated.

Very few people really want their fathers to die...but spending what are probably his last days pissing and shitting himself in a drugged and demented haze, largely neglected by overworked, underpaid, professionally indifferent staff makes death look pretty good.

Our health care system is hell.

Maybe I'm just an extra, and the Overspirit's main goal in having me & my family move here was to help my sister-in-law move into her career as a medical lab tech, which really might one day save the lives of far more important people.
