Trying to find the words. There, there — they’re there.

Appreciate the folks at Harvard U’s @niemanstory — and @warhovert — for writing about a piece I wrote about a person who died a gruesome death only to be subjected to further viciousness (victim-blaming) afterward. Senseless cruelty, little empathy.

@AriWasserman — Still got some bog over here. We’re right across from The Esso. Again, no pressure … but Chef Smitty says it ain’t gonna last long. @andystaples, there’s enough for you too.

[Wade Livingston @WadeGLivingston]

@AriWasserman @andystaples — zero pressure, but I can promise you chicken bog and good people for tomorrow’s tailgate. Been listening to y’all for years, and so glad Ari’s made it to Clemson for the first time. Hit us up if you need a bite.

Man, Thursday’s episode of The Audible with special guest @ESPNMcGee is a damn treat. A real eye-opener about the early days of @espn and the dawn of the Internet and pseudonyms and all kinds of cool shit. Always love listening to @BruceFeldmanCFB and @slmandel. Thanks, y’all.

My first for the @nytimes — grateful to contribute to a collection of stories by a dozen or so writers around the country that tells how folks are hanging out (staying sane, helpful, neighborly) during These Strange Times. #COVID19

@EricEyre getting even more love for his dogged reporting, compassionate writing and masterful storytelling. Support a great person and your local bookstore by snagging a copy of “Death in Mud Lick” now!

[Eric Eyre @EricEyre]

In today's @nytimes, its book critics selected DEATH IN MUD LICK as one of three "Read These: New Books" Thnx to @Kenwardjr and @maryannehitt for bringing this to my attention.

@DetroitSteel_ I reckon most people can cut hair. Stylin’ a ‘do, tho—well, I guess you’ll find out.

[Wade Livingston @WadeGLivingston]

@BStubbles Soaring (close to the ground). Thx, y’all! And one of my recents:

@THEMikeBowers That is an intriguing angle. Appreciate you sharing that, my friend.

[Wade Livingston @WadeGLivingston]

A guy has a good idea. Couple of friends help make it happen. The neighborhood is all about it.

Creativity, curiosity and community in the time of #COVID19 (plus a lil #architecture tour of Savannah, Ga).

Thx, @gardenandgun for letting me write.

@EricEyre @nytimesbooks #nobrainer

In the New Normal, something that endures: commercials on @hulu are still at least 3x as loud as whatever show or movie you’re watching.

1/ Today, my dad finished reading “Death in Mud Lick” (y’all buy it, now) by the great and kind and talented @EricEyre — Dad “couldn’t put it down.” “I can see why he won the Pulitzer,” Pops said.

[Wade Livingston @WadeGLivingston]

@SamOwensphoto Likewise! On the page where you appear, Dad made a note that he met you in WVa. Know that you and your work is appreciated and thought of fondly.

[Wade Livingston @WadeGLivingston]

3/ All that to say that Eric and Sam and all the other reporters and photogs and editors and page-lay-outers, etc, etc are fine folks, and they make stories come together, and matter. Show ‘em some love now—they’re always essential. Now, even more so. Thanks, y’all.

[Wade Livingston @WadeGLivingston]

2/ “And I saw Sam’s name in there!” he continued. (That’s @SamOwensphoto y’all — Dad loved the bit about Sam handing a tissue to someone she and Eric were interviewing and photographing. Man, that got me too. And if you know Sam, well, that’s what you’d expect. Kind to a fault.)

[Wade Livingston @WadeGLivingston]

@john_w_lowery He was something else, wasn’t he? Thanks for sharing, John—hope you and yours are doing well! Y’all stay safe and well.

[Wade Livingston @WadeGLivingston]

@hannafj @hbhannahbaldwin @JBachmanphoto Gotta get @gregkb in on that, too, I reckon. Miss all y’all dearly.
