Don’t believe folks who tell you the only acceptable way to be your true self is to lie about it to prevent their discomfort. That’s hokum. Of course, if your true self is inextricably intertwined with making others uncomfortable, well, can I interest you in our selection of alternate planets…

“Even if the only commonality they share is uniqueness do not classify as ’unclassifiable‘”. The instruction doubled-back on itself, the ticker-tape now entangled with the hole-puncher, changing its own nature by random, stumpftt, stumpftt, stumpftt, little paper flakes, thread flecked, floating.

(aside) So, is this the guy?…okay (full throated) It’s the Wicker Man, right, it’s all those fucking antler movies, okay, but, BUT, here’s the thing, BUT—the movie itself is the straw man, y’get it?, the movie is the fucking straw man. Yeah, “summer blockbuster”, that’s good!

“I know what’s going on. We got a bunch of fucking vampires out there, trying to get in here and suck our fucking blood. And that’s it. Plain and simple.

We used to be able to do this shit on the down-low. 😐

The carnival ride of coffee & donuts has let me off. My flippancies about labels and contentment are, like my breakfast, not very nutritious.

Listen, @mattgemmell@mastodon.scot is very correct about this “content creation” thing. It is a matter of not becoming contemptuous of your own materials.

Suggestions for 3 attribution labels better than “content creator”

• Authorette: authors just getting started with smaller keyboards.

• Authoroni: authors like me just repackaging the ramen.
