Love how you lead with the characterization and exposition, and avoid overplaying the symbolism or figurative language. That's a tough balance to strike; struck well here 💪
I came here when I saw Doug Stanhope’s name; stayed for your writing. Sounds like an amped up version of my 20s and early 30s.
Things are working okay for me now I’m old (apart from my skeleton: that’s fucked).
So I hope you (a) hear back from Mr Stanhope (who’s always seemed to me to be a straight up good bastard) and (b) catch a break. You write well and deserve it, but life’s an arse sometimes, obviously.
Look forward to reading more from you in any case. Peace out.
Thanks for the email that led me here. Increasingly, I count my blessings that I have lived a relatively clean life. You also made me miss my life in Medford, probably the place I strayed furthest from aforementioned “clean living.”
Keep writing, keep Guerilla-izing. Stay healthy and well.
so so good, as always 🖤
Thank you, Rosie!

Many thanks.
Glad I'm finally getting around to reading this. It's excellent. Love the use of parentheticals.
Thank you, sir. Stay tuned for more degeneracy.
You are the real deal, motherfucker. High quality no-nonsense literature. Thank you.
Doing my best. Thank you, friend. Stay tuned for part one! July 18th!
Why the f*ck am I the 12th comment AGAIN Substack?
I had to look up who stanhope is. Holy sh*t balls do the 2 of you terrifyingly seem like a near perfect interview.
45 minutes probably won’t be enough.
Update: Well sh*t. Nevermind. stanhope thinks Irish women are ugly.
Stay tuned. The interview is part two!
So help me if he calls my super cute 4 ft grandmother ugly again. That’s fight club sh*t.
By his logic I’m only 1/4 ugly so that’s working in his favor at this point. I’m fat.
"I open my eyes and the sun cackles." This line really stood out to me. What a depressing piece of writing. Great job!
The sun and I are mortal enemies.
Thank you, WS.

This is the prologue. There are two main parts, then a coda, all for this piece.
I already talked to Stanhope.
That’s PART TWO: THE CALL.
Stay tuned.
Thanks for your support.
Looking forward to it. Stay well!

Thank you, lou. Hope you are well.
Stay tuned!
I think of you often, and, as always, I hang on your truth-telling and writing for roots. Please be well...
Thanks, Victoria.
This is nothing but the truth.
I understand it makes people uncomfortable, but that's what truth does.
