Just a humble country political scientist. Blue collar scholar. Views are my own, typos are the gremlin's. Always down to talk music and tacos. #COYI

A friend of mine is running for local office. There is one seat and my friend has 34 opponents in a community of 4,500 people! Considering we often have unopposed races at the local level, I’m shocked there are multiple candidates, let alone 35 total.

I want ZM to win mayor of NYC not for ideological reasons, but because I called it on April 30th and I could use the boost that being right would bring.

Watching Frankenweenie with TM3 and TA3. When Sparky is revived the following conversation happened. TM3: He’s a zombie dog! TA3: No, he’s a Deceptidog (like Decepticon). He’s not a real dog. My almost four year just made a Transformers based pun. Proud dad moment!

This quote from rachel mcmillan 🇨🇦 about my forthcoming book Space and Time genuinely caught me off guard. She made me want to read my own book again, and I’ve already read it like ten times! I am grateful to have such thoughtful and kind people encouraging my writing.

This was such a stressful part of writing Space and Time in particular. A lot of complicated and diverse world building. I hope I was at least somewhat successful.

I keep telling people about the weird Christmas novel I’m trying not to write, and unfortunately, they keep convincing me I should write it.

It gets wilder. With the wind chill, it was 9 degrees here yesterday. It's going to be 72 on Saturday, and potentially warmer than my hometown in Southern Arizona. A 63-degree swing.

Lee Pace for JB and Richard Ayoade for AT-H in Jesus and Joe Strummer. I'll save Space and Time for after it's been out a bit so not to bias people's readings (But, I do have thoughts...).

Space and Time is out now! Thanks to all who played a role in getting to this point. I think Space and Time is a fun read that moves quickly, and is worth the couple of hours it takes to read. Now, go read it and let me know what you think!

Latchkey kid here. I taught myself initially, took cooking classes in HS, watched cooking shows, and eventually learned in restaurant kitchens as I worked in them to pay for college.

I need to be honest about something: deep down, I don’t want to be a political scientist. I want to host a music show on Fuse circa 2005.
