this β€œchicago bail fund” and the entire network of newly registered bail funds are all scams. illinois made cash bail illegal in 2023 thanks to the incredibly hard work of many people, some of whom i know personally, so this is especially stupid

Tom Waits- Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis (Studio Version) YouTube video by MissHonaloochie

Hey Charlie, I think I'm happy for the first time since my accident
I wish I had all the money we used to spend on dope
I'd buy me a used car lot, and I wouldn't sell any of 'em
I'd just drive a different car every day, dependin' on how I feel

ST3.12 | "Santa Daddy" β€” Rock and a Hard Place Press It's the annual tech-bro holiday party, and Slater is hired to play "Naughty Santa." But they have no idea how naughty Slater can be . . .

Tired of reading β€œTwas the Night Before Christmas” to the kids every year? The good folks at @rhppress.bsky.social chose to publish my bit of seasonal storytelling, which is completely suitable for family gatherings and church events, I promise.

To be chosen by Steph Cha and Don Winslow and to be among some of my favourite people and writers is an overwhelming honor.

Huge thanks to Starlite Pulp for its first home.

Please get yourself a copy, if not for my dirty little spite story, than for one of the other 19 amazing ones.
