BIG ANNOUNCEMENT (if you're me)
I've started my own publishing company, Unsung Voices Books (https://t.co/1UQzE30ni0). We're publishing stories from people and places that are underrepresented in the current book landscape. More to follow about our 1st title soon!

@DoubleDogPeps @wakko14505 This is me with zero ground to push back

@DoubleDogPeps Sempre nella zona, ma non uscite mai la casa

All languages are beautiful. Each structure in each language contributes to the wondrous diversity of the human condition.

That said, Russian future tense prefixes can go piss up a rope.

If I don't post about @RiotFest did I even go to #RiotFest2022?

[Don @chewie93]

@russbengtson Also, the last 70 years of history having happened

@KirkSeriousFace Why did you let @RodsFromGod take over your account?

[Don @chewie93]

@russbengtson Mets? Or general state of the world? (Could be both)

[Don @chewie93]

@TheJoseVilson Case study: In 1989, I was encouraged as a HS student to take two math classes to be able to take calculus my senior year. The class that was sacrificed to the math gods? Political science. Which do I think about more today?

@DoubleDogPeps @TheEmilJay @GCWrestling_ I won't say it again

[Don @chewie93]

@DoubleDogPeps @TheEmilJay @GCWrestling_ You just say that because he looks like you

@russbengtson A 1984 quote here would be both absolutely relevant and mind-numbingly mean.

[Don @chewie93]

Now back to my history reading, Hosking's "Russia and the Russians." Which makes other world happenings feel sadly predictable.

[Don @chewie93]

Saw a Max Scherzer-related RT. Thought "this HAS to be @russbengtson. Outside chance of @AestheticsGirl." I find comfort in some predictability in these unpredictable times.

@ain___ee I've forwarded to one of my best freelancers.

Slowly spoken German weirds me out.

[Don @chewie93]

No, YOU considered dropping $150 on an online course to learn Pashto.

@thornburgh Preach, brother. My wife was out for a run in Highland Park while this shit was happening 2 miles away from her.

Meanwhile our GOP gubernatorial candidate was here in my town (Skokie) telling people to "move on and celebrate freedom" after some "thoughts & prayers." FUCK THAT.

[Don @chewie93]

@RexHuppke @Lakergrrrl Just learned that this garbage was filmed in my (very blue) village. I'm sickened.

[Don @chewie93]

@fewstein Same in Skokie. Disgusting.
