While You and I Struggle to Create “Quality Work” For Zip, A Bimbo Makes 200 Grand From Farting

Warning: You may want a DNR in place before reading this — For a long while, I’ve believed that, as a society, we’re not worth shit. Turns out, perhaps we are, or at the very least, a fart or two. Allow me to explain. A kind writer here, who took my criticism of one of her “sex stories” in stride, passed along…

The Case for Vigilante Justice

Michael Vick — If you can throw a football and make a shit ton of money for the organization that is paying you far more than you deserve, far more than decent people make working two and three jobs, then you can abuse animals with such savagery that the rational mind can’t fathom…

How Many of You Have Both Cats and Rats as Pets?

I ask after getting publicly ass-slapped by a self-professed animal expert — You know, people here are starting to suck, big time. Take the writer who works as a vet tech and has written story after story detailing her problems with co-workers, clients, and the Universe as a whole. We all have problems, some direr than others, so I empathize. Hell. …

I Bought a Car and I’m Taking it Back

Such is the way my brain works these days — What in the hell is wrong with me? As I inch reluctantly, toward a “landmark” birthday, I believe I’m losing what marbles I have left. Maybe it has to do with all the weird shit being shot down from the skies or the reality that I will never find a…

Give Credit Where Credit is Due

Or you’ll look like a deplorable bunghole — That’s what I wanted to say to the Medium writer whose poem’s title was a word-for-word ripoff of the title of a renowned song by the late, great, Canadian songwriter, Leonard Cohen. …

Last Night, I Dreamed About Tyre

On those things, we want to forget, but should never — While watching the five, graphic video clips of the murder of twenty-nine-year-old Tyre Nichols on CNN Friday evening, there was a moment when I forgot I was watching “real” TV and not a movie. The beating and torture rained down upon one, helpless individual by five Memphis police officers, now…

Are My Eyes Deceiving Me?

Medium, “you oughta know” — My goodness! This platform surely knows how to keep one on one’s toes. (If that sounds like a song lyric, it ain’t.) Take my feed, today. Yet another WTF moment that has me wondering who is going to show up here, next. …

Is anyone else experiencing this new bit of weirdness, here?

Is anyone else experiencing this new bit of weirdness, here? So, I’m checking my personal alerts, you know, with the bell thingy next to my profile pic and what do I see? A string of highlighted story excerpts from a reader, not one of mine, mind you. And the comments…

Hangin’ On For The Ride

On trying to figure out how I should roll and in what — Since my 2012, metallic chocolate brown Fiat, with only forty-seven thousand miles on it is now in that big junkyard in the sky, I am searching for a new, used car. For seven years, I tooled around in my “Chocolate Kiss,” loving the sunroof that I never used, the front…

Where Are You, Writers?

I follow, but it appears you’re under wraps, much like me — For several weeks, I’ve noticed that when I open the Medium app to check my morning feed, there’s precious little of interest to read, or even skim. For me. Also, I’m seeing articles promoted in publications I’ve stopped following. One, in particular, has been showing up on the reg. Instead…
