@esinclai apparently he’s up to something. Hillary did some kind of media event with him last week. Fills me with rage. Chile is his fault. – 04:17 PM GMT
@esinclai at least the host is now asking him about the Church commission, with polite deference. – 04:18 PM GMT
@esinclai he just told the host that it was inappropriate of him to question the actions of “serious people” forty years ago. Fuck you Henry – 04:20 PM GMT

Found my way to the work of KJ Parker via this ish of Subterranean. subterraneanpress.com/magazine/summe… – 05:56 AM GMT
I love Parker’s prose and the elegance of observation in the work. Every ten paragraphs I clock a little gracenote and sigh in pleasure. – 05:57 AM GMT
Speaking of Subterranean, guess it’s curtains for the mag, which is a darn shame. Parker and Reynolds both there. subterraneanpress.com/magazine/summe… – 05:59 AM GMT

my grandfather had two careers. – 12:38 AM GMT
Until the late 1920s or early 1930s he was a tenant farmer in northern Missouri near the town of Bethany in Harrison County. – 12:39 AM GMT
Then the Depression made that untenable, and he moved the family to Washington State’s Yakima Valley, where my mother was born. – 12:40 AM GMT
While they got settled, the family performed harvest labor, for a couple of years. Picking apples and so forth. No long distance travel. – 12:42 AM GMT
Eventually he was hired as a logging truck driver, and did that for just about thirty years, I think. Mack semis, up and down the mountains. – 12:44 AM GMT
He smoked Camel straights and continued to smoke after he retired. He died of lung cancer in summer 1978. He was a kind, funny man. – 12:44 AM GMT
He cooked a sit down dinner for my grandma, my mom, my aunt, and my uncle every day after his shift. His huge hands peeling potatoes. – 12:46 AM GMT
clipping and steaming green beans, setting the table, rumbling laughte – 12:46 AM GMT
he would be amused that i see such inspiration in his actions and his choices, i’m sure. he was a huge man. i still smell him sometimes. – 12:47 AM GMT
when i wear a vintage plaid wool flannel, the sensation i receive from it is a sense memory of being held in his arms. Wish we’d had longer. – 12:49 AM GMT
