Truckstops and Smoking Cheap Pot

Gazing fondly through the haze of an unreliable memory — There’s a certain supremely talented writer — Bev Potter — here on Medium who just happens to live where I grew up, rural(ish) Northeastern(ish) Ohio, and a recent piece she wrote brought tears to my eyes. Tears of nostalgic laughter remembering choking on cheap green pot in truckstop parking lots. American Sideshow Who needs reality TV when you can go to the truck stop?bevpotter.medium.com

Rude New Yorkers, Right

Well, yeah, but not all the time. — At the dark, glinting heart of every stereotype and cliche, there exists a truth.

While I Loved The Clients…

Life After the Grind and Satisfaction of Freelance — Editor’s note: The following article is the unedited result of an emailed Q&A with Tammy Remington, writing as Remington Write. Tell me about your writing life: How much do you write in a day? Are you, or do you aspire to be a professional writer? Do you make money from it to a significant degree? How do you keep the lights on? It varies. I’ve generally got two or three stories in various stages of completion going, as well as at least one that I’m reworking to move to another platform.

How’s It Feel To Want and Not Get?

The coming shock to American Consumers — Admit it. Much of this country — The United States of America we’re talking about here — is spoiled rotten.

This is Not a Human Person

And no matter what you do, you will never look like this — Don’t fall for it. It’s a lie. That is not a human person in the ad on the side of the bus stop. That is a sophisticated graphic presentation created with technology and it exists for one reason only. To get someone’s hands into your pocket to take your money. …
