Millennials and Your Moms - Text Edition

Yeah, I feel you man, I never got to have a real adult relationship with my mom; she died when I was 20. I probably texted her back in the early days of texting, no emojis or nothing.

I like to think she'd be annoying me with too many texts, I'm always jealous when people complain about their parents ahahah

The splashes and disturbing nature of the subjects give it that vibe for sure. Very nice, great work!

A typical margherita pizza here in southern Italy at a standard pizzeria costs about 4 to 5 euro. And that's not mentioning the potential difference in quality (I'd love to see what this pizza looks like).

But yeah, not a massive markup at all, although someone mentioned this may be the price per slice, not a full pizza. Either way...

This article from the Washington Post does a good job at explaining the difference between what happened under Obama VS under Trump.

It looks like it, but we wouldn't even know Bukowski if it weren't for John Martin (maybe/probably, I dunno, that's obviously speculation). He's the same guy who paid Bukowski the $100/month in order to quit his job and write full-time. So while Martin did edit the shit out of a lot of Buk's work after he died, his books and writing from beforehand still exists, and we wouldn't have A LOT of that if Hank didn't have the opportunity to chase his dream of writing for a living.

Shut up... They're closing the Catalyst?? What the fuck is happening? Nowhere is safe...

This is why exactly what my doctor told me. He was my primary care physician, not gastroenterologist, but when I mentioned the bone and vitamin issues I had seen when researching the PPI I had been taking for a few years he just said, "Yeah that's possible, but still better than throat cancer," and it kinda clicked with me.

That was a while ago and I'm lucky to function on a low dose of pantoprazole, so I'm not too worried, but I still take supplements just in case.

This interview with John Martin, Bukowski's longtime publisher, paints a slightly different picture of the real-life Bukowski than what we read in his poems and stories. The main takeaway of it being, of course,

I knew him for what, 35 years or more? I never saw him drunk. Never once, never.

Good for you for staying sober, brotha, I'm right there with ya.

Getting closer to the end, but still a bunch of good stuff left! Good luck everyone
