@IsaacHamlet Congratulations Isaac!! 🎉

MY BOOK IS OUT TODAY!!! "The Wilderlands" by R.E. Bellesmith is easily the writing I've done that I'm most proud of, and it's a perfect Halloween/fall read. Go to Barnes & Noble or Amazon for a physical copy, or get it from major digital retailors. I hope you love it!

This is Kalu. He has single-handedly changed the definition of corn dog. 13/10 a revolutionary

Found these Polaroids tucked in an old Ankeny library book in a Des Moines Goodwill bin. I would love nothing more than to send this back to the person/people in the photos. Can the internet do its thing and find these folks?

@ZacharyOS Excited to hear what you’ve got coming your way!!

GOODBYE IPR – This breaks my heart: Today is my last with the fine folks at @iowapublicradio. Years ago, I was burnt on journalism. A long 2020 had me looking for jobs anywhere but. A dear friend told me about an opportunity in public radio, and it changed my life. 1/12

Come work with me at the Iowa Statehouse! The Des Moines Register is hiring a statehouse reporter to be part of our team. You get to work with a fantastic Register team. Plus, Iowa is the only state capitol building in the country with five domes. Cool! jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/gannett/…

Just got an email saying that because I’m 25 or 26, I’m still stupid and that no believes anything I write. I can’t wait for my next birthday folks. Maybe I’ll finally turn “smart” 🎂
