A few words

Fresh malinformation

  • So You’ve Been Locked Out of Life “To this day, I’m convinced that several of the gay white men I knew in the scene were not gay at all, but were shamming in order to get access to the industry.”
  • Against Against Boomers “It’s a cheap way of hating everything.”
  • How my thinking has changed since I started blogging 16 years ago “Victory in a battle of wits goes not to who is right but to who is clever …”
  • TLDR “… as a novelist I’m really not serving the impatient, entitled, short attention span, functionally illiterate, community nearly as well as I should.”
  • A Tale For Our Time 8:10 – A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn’t make a snow woman.
