@wadejwk @ray_mcmanus I didn’t know how much
I’d miss my stream
‘til it was gone.
Could be a @ray_mcmanus poem.

"McManus is particularly poignant when drawing lines from within our culture, dominated by media and materialism, to the men who dwell within it."

@DavidJoy_Author She would say there has been no improvement whatsoever. And I would say she is right. I mean, look at my friends (points to your picture).

@ray_mcmanus We should probably ask Lindsay if she found you skeezier in your soul patch days compared to full goatee.
English

@DavidJoy_Author 😂 It was a soul(less) patch-like substance. Those were dark times.
English

If I were pressed to make a singular exception I’d go with @ray_mcmanus, who I think had one (though long, long ago he evolved to full goatee). And with that semi exception, I’d venture to bet that even Ray would consider his soul patch years the skeeziest of his life.

Here’s a thing: a playlist for The Last Saturday in America. Songs that speak to the poems in the book. Just because.

Ain’t often I’m lauded. Mostly loathed. On a serious note, that’s a tremendous honor. That’s the good news I couldn’t share awhile back. oxfordeagle.com/2024/02/23/thr…

@DavidJoy_Author Yes! More big. Process questions set me off in the head a bit. I can’t tell if they’re genuine or if it’s just a way of seeing whether I’m working vs. making shit up as I go along. If it’s the latter, they’ll never know.
