My Substack is a mix of sports, humor, and personal stories (which can be quite serious) plus a heaping helping of whatever random nonsense pops into my head while I write. My stuff can get pretty out there sometimes- I was diagnosed with ADHD last year (at the age of 49) and think that may at least partially drive some of the zaniness.
Off of Substack, my writing is mostly poetry, although I am wrapping up a 13-page obituary for my Granny Patsy. Here’s a note I wrote the night she died:
My free Friday content is the only stuff people actually read and that is all about penises and karma and bad haircuts and shitty opera options so I dispute this characterisation but thanks for checking me out!
i ’ve really wanted to try to pull off the no cap writer but instead decided to go the full cormac mccarthy and not use any punctuation whatsoever. except periods. i still use periods i suppose. 🐴
Thalia, these are hilarious! In my mind, I found myself wickedly assigning certain Substackers, who will remain unnamed, to the categories. The best, and I really did laugh out loud, was 'the torturing poet'. That and the carrot top cooking boys. I think I dodged this list, but I think the main reason for that is I'm so incredibly, remarkably...unremarkable. Now if you had an inwardly-bitter-Close but no Cigar grouping, I would have not survived the round. - Jim
Your AI illustrations are deeply unsettling, in a manner more remarkable than the usual AI grumpiness.
Yeah I tried to make them all seem the same
*RESTACK & SWEAT:
This is quite a list, and you are speaking the truth here.
(I begin to smell my armpit to see how "basic" I am...I look...I'm quirky enough to say I'm fine. Totally fine).
Alright so far I'm a philosopher troll assassin.
That actually sounds pretty badass. I wonder if the DM will let me spit my exp between classes.
Lol that does actually
Brilliant!
Think I have escaped this time 😂
Psychologist!
Ah right you are! See - I don’t even see myself as one 😂
You grazed me with a couple in the previous posts, but I seem to be safe on this one.
I'm scared that when you distill my essence perfectly it will be like hearing my true name and I'll turn to dust immediately.
Lol
I thoroughly enjoyed your descriptions of everyone else.
Humility is my superpower.
Hmm… I survived all three rounds of your Basic Substacker posts. You haven’t gotten me yet! Is there a part 4?
Not yet! I see you like sports which is nice. I'll have to do one on that sometime.
I look forward to reading it!

Oh no - you got me. Number 10. Is that not poetry? 🙄😆🤷♀️
Your parody game is *strong*. Loved all three parts. And I feel I have survived all three rounds but I’m not going to tell you how to get me.
Seems like you are #7 The Writing Expert

That is simply unhinged

I’m surprised not to see the “mom” category on here that writes about homeschooling and her children. Not me but it’s what I get fed lol
That's a good one
I guess I fall under art, so you got me this time. I've still got reviews left though, lol
Nice redheads! Enough to make me read the post.
Not in this lot...checking number 2 now...wait, is that a category too...numbnuts who read substacks back to front, finish to start?
Philosophizing Life Coach?
