I landed a side gig doing a little teaching this fall. No real pay but I'm doing it for the love of the game anyway. Now I'm getting flooded by Indeed with job postings for similar positions. Where the hell were these a month ago?

It's the one year anniversary of this post but I'm not putting a candle it in #WagonWednesday
Yesterday, I got a legitimate compliment on my wagon! I was so tickled that I thought that I'd share with the rest of you for Wagon Wednesday. It's monochrome so you 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 it's tasteful. #WagonWednesday
Today I'm recalling a trip from one year ago 🏔️ Here's a blog post I wrote about it. True to form, it's a tad dark in the first few paragraphs, but it really does end up shiny and happy and upbeat! Give it a read while I draft some smutty smut! padtysfw.wordpress.com/2025/08/12/w...

Challenge is our watchword.

The connection between music and writing is very strong for me, so this challenge is both interesting and intimidating (there's such a thing as too many ideas turning into a nonsense story). Still, very tempting!
The Literotica Music Challenge 2026 is on now and open to all writers! Enter your song-inspired tale before 8/18 for inclusion in the 8/25 event! Full details here: www.literotica.com/s/music-chal...
#MonochromeMonday but I'm thinking of any day that's not Monday 🔥
Once again my knowledge of the most ass-backward features of MS Word has saved the day
I'm a busy boy today! I ran 14 mi (22.5 km), hit the grocery, repaired a door, and I've still got ice cream to serve. There may be a cocktail later. 😉 Happy Sunday, BlueSky friends!
I'm living the bachelor life* for the next few days! Woot! Who wants to party?** *Taking sole responsibility for multiple mammals **Listen to me chant a to-do list
It was a day filled with dogs barking, yoga practicing, side gig badging, spontaneous lunching, distance running, award receiving, and cocktail consumption. Body battery: drained Happy Friday, BlueSky friends 🙂

#W1PP Her eyes are blue torment. "Let me fix you," I say. "I can help." She does not bother with a response. Torment puts me in my place, under her thumb. Under her spell. Under water that's over my head. "𝘚𝘩𝘶𝘵 𝘶𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬." I do because I'm under in every way. She is unknowable, and unbroken.
Happy hump day and good timezone, lovely bsky peeps 💖 It's Weekly One Post Prompt time, and the new word is... Under 👇🏻 (or any inflection of it) Do with it as you will, as long as it fits into a single post 😈 Don't forget to add a #W1PP tag somewhere so I can find, enjoy and share your post.
I get annoyed by those that follow/unfollow (so they can build a follower base and a lopsided follow:follower ratio). Leave that crap on Twitter, fool. I use an app to track this stuff. Concerned about sharing your bsky password with an app? There's a nifty way to create an "app only" password.:
Earlier today I was joking a bit about my love of 80's power ballads, and later I was working on a [never to be published!] blog post, when I scrolled back to find this one, from April 2025. Music is tied to memory, and memory is fluid. padtysfw.wordpress.com/2025/04/10/a...

I'll have you know that I ended in fourth place in my local bar trivia contest. I think there were five groups. Hashtag genius hashtag bigbrain
Current WIP queue: *A lengthy sci-fi (my white whale; see below) *A ND romance *A time-travel based sci-fi *A fantasy that is peripheral and prequel to Tutto a Posto *A fetish story about a woman and a train of men *Another "kitchen sink" story of depravity Now, if I can finish ANY of them 😭😭
I'm unsure why these caught my eye, but likely because my long-term WIP has a Wizard of Oz theme. On the bright side, I'm in the home stretch on that story. #AmWriting
Oh this is a lovely one 👇👇👇
This short poem captures love in its most fragile and instinctive form, exploring its persistence beneath consciousness A whispered confession between sleep and waking becomes a metaphor for nature’s renewal, grass and flowers emerging despite the harshness of winter #poetry #poemoftheday
Yes, yes I am spending a Sunday evening watching Miami Vice
I just figured out that I left my VERY FAVORITE SHIRT at a hotel almost two weeks ago. They had it in their lost and found and are shipping it back! I am a very relieved idiot. It pays to check!

I found these outside the local library this morning. That black-eyed Susan looks electric! Happy Friday, BlueSky friends!
