Flyer for new art exhibit in Amarillo TX #route66

Trump in the Epstein Files is what's known as a foregone conclusion.

Didn't think it possible yet here goes MAGA giving cults a bad name.

Starting my day by doing lines of Carnation instant breakfast.

🚨 WALMART RAISING PRICES DUE TO TARIFFS “We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO says.

I love alliteration so much, this is definitely my new favorite Delta Juliet Tango insult: basic bond bitch.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Caught someone in the wild checking out my art.

Tomorrow, the first book in my eight-book series will be available for free in ebook format for one day only, 3/23/2025. The first book in the series is full of short stories about cryptids, ghosts, and native folklore based in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRTCXC5C

Contrary to popular advice, I am a multi-genre independent author. Some of my topics are more personal to me than others. For example, I published this book because of my experience with abstinence or extreme approaches to a number of life's struggles. (Amazon paid link) #moderation amzn.to/3Dn7Pg6

My artwork was selected for the AMOA exhibit. I'm stoked. #art

United States exploring options to launch itself into outer space in order to exist in literal vacuum, figurative vacuum not good enough.

I know it's a long way off, but I predict that the USA will sweep the medals at the mental gymnastics competition at the 2028 London Olympics.

The wind in the Texas Panhandle is like the mafia. It’ll look at your lovely patio furniture and say, ‘Nice set you’ve got there. Be a real shame if it got whisked off to the other side of town.’

I received my KDP royalties for December 2024 (KDP pays 60 days after you earn) and it was my only 3 figure month for 2024. 2024 was also my first year self-publishing for profit and I'm okay with a slow-burn as long as the IRS is as well. This is as much therapy as business for me.

🚨🚨🚨 shameless plug alert. My 3D mixed media sign project art is to promote my collection of coloring books about the subject matter. Two different cover designs, which do you like better? www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNZSDZV...

I hope RFK JR and HHS get to the bottom of this left-handed epidemic in the US. It's gone from 4% to 12% in the last century. That's a 200% increase!

Elon is both in charge and not in charge of DOGE. DOGE's official mascot: Schrödinger’s Cat.

My shitty joke about the Gulf of Mexico triggered a couple of MAGA Brownshirts over on YouTube. I'm just pumped I got a little engagement finally. This is like prolonged exposure therapy, but more fun. I also am realizing they could just be disinformation bots, but really, what's the difference?

I call it the Gulf of Loyalty Test Precursor. Too meta?

Pecos Bill Presents Peculiar Panhandles: Alaska Tales eBook is still on sale for a few more days. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSZG1NC...

The first book I self-published in 2019 is about the eating disorder Pica. In 2025, I devised a new Amazon ads strategy. I sold another copy of Pica Chew's Food Guide for Kids this week. I think adults will enjoy this book as well, especially after the edible kicks in. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1654...

Cryptids, Ghosts, and Aliens OH MY! I'm running a $0.99 promotion on one of my latest books - www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSZG1NC...

Howdy, pardners! Join Pecos Bill, America's most renowned cowboy, as he skillfully captures ghosts, aliens, and cryptids such as the Kushtaka, a creature that lures unsuspecting travelers to their demise, and the Amikuk, a monstrous terror that lurks beneath the icy waters of the Alaskan panhandle.

Disabled combat veteran and advocate here. It can be difficult to keep up with all the news and know what to believe. I'd recommend checking press releases at va.gov. No news so far about the latest EO pause on funding, but they issued updates on halting DEI and the hiring freeze exemptions.

Pecos Bill Presents Peculiar Panhandles: Florida Tales is FREE from 1/29/2025 until Groundhog's Day. I'm not only promoting the series and hoping for some reviews, but I'm also delighted to get this book in front of readers' eyes. BOOK LINK www.amazon.com/dp/B0DV48YXJG

Howdy, pardners! I'm an independent author in the Texas Panhandle, and I've just finished publishing a series on the folklore, myths, cryptids, and ghosts of the US state panhandles. Here's a free, exclusive bonus story on Substack (no subscription needed) to celebrate the latest and final book:

Another sale in the Pecos Bill Presents series yesterday. I attribute this success to my newly designed book covers, keyword refresh, and/or my subpar but not quite self-depricating social media skills. (Amazon Paid Link). amzn.to/40KFj0D

Finally happy with my series book covers. I think.

Peculiar Panhandles: Alaska is now available Well, partner, gather ‘round, ‘cause ol’ Pecos Bill's got a tale to tell you that’ll leave you feelin’ colder than a rattlesnake’s kiss in the middle of a Wyoming winter... (Amazon Paid Link) #folklore

Upon hearing about the Texas governor's order to fly the flag at full-staff for the inauguration, I was about to make a joke about Gov. Abbott kneeling in support of Trump, but I quickly realized that mocking the disabled is not appropriate. Irony?
