@Nightshade386 @bookscharming In life, I agree; respect any pronouns someone wants. I've just found my readers hate it when I use gender neutral pronouns for my protagonists.

[Malcolm McCannon @MalcolmMcCannon]

@bookscharming Never. Again. I have a novel that's driving me crazy with its gender neutral pronouns. It doesn't read well at all. I used pe/per which was fine with me but irritated readers. Then switched to they/them, which is still irritating.

What are your favorite satires of all time?

I love Huck Finn. I read and teach it over and over.

And my new favorite is White Noise.

I'M READY FOR ANOTHER.

@DarnayJesse I did all lyrics and all the male vocals

@DarnayJesse If you have time, listen to the whole album -- the tracks are all very different but part of a cohesive whole (I have an unedited manuscript that's low priority based on this album). But if you're limited on time, "Brainwash!" is maybe the best sample.

@DarnayJesse It's not exactly poetry, but it is written to make you laugh 😉👉

@DarnayJesse I love these old pulpy covers and tag lines. It's something we used to do with my band Mannequin Planet. All our songs were about b-movies.

This book is literary fiction?

Don't know if my mind makes it a bigger deal when I'm buzzed, but a bunch of water droplets just fell on my left sunburned arm when I bumped up against a tree after it had rained in Miami, and I was like whoa.

Such crystalline detail of sensation.

"Nostalgia is a product of dissatisfaction and rage. It's a settling of grievances between the present and past. The more powerful the nostalgia, the closer you come to violence. War is the form nostalgia takes when men are hard-pressed to say something good about their country."

My toothbrush absconded with my razor last night. I don't know how long they've been having an affair or how long they've been planning on leaving me, but despite their living in separate apartments, they have eloped and vamoosed.

@Ellison__James Is your being on less a result of the Musk takeover?

[Malcolm McCannon @MalcolmMcCannon]

How is Twitter different for you since the Elon Musk takeover?

I haven't been on a lot recently, but I hear that it's changed. How accurate is that?

[Malcolm McCannon @MalcolmMcCannon]

Not to brag, but I had a dream that I was raising dozens of wombats underneath my Kansas City home....

I love the land's potential to transform any human, any being, into what he is.
