When I was 19 years old I dropped out of college to try to escape a bad situation, and I ended up at my grandparent's dairy farm. I spent many days making and selling cheese, doing deliveries, milking cows, and keeping the shop open. Then I'd go back to my room and write at night. It was the first time in a long time I felt some kind of peace.
I ended up leaving to go to Austin because I was scared of leading a mediocre, insular life. In those years since I've published 5 books, been a game designer at multiple companies, got married, and had a child. But now I can see how every decision has led me back here. Back home to the farm my grandparent's left behind for me. Back to starting up my grandfather's cheese business again. Back home to a life that is not mediocre, as I'd presumed before, but instead infinite in its depth.
Anyway, I hope you like this cheddar I made for you.

Let me explain the four major differences between leftwing political violence and rightwing political violence:
1. Rightwing violence comes from the fringes of the conservative movement. Leftwing violence comes from the mainstream of the progressive movement.
2. Conservatives rarely encourage or glorify rightwing violence. Progressives routinely encourage and glorify leftwing violence.
3. Leftwing violence is such a common event that we hardly take notice of it unless it involves assassinating a major political figure--think of how routine Antifa/BLM style destruction of our cities has become. Rightwing violence is notable in its rarity.
4. Leftwing violence is often falsely attributed in the mass media to conservative beliefs. The opposite never happens.
.@FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP announced the expansion of the @WhiteHouse honey program with the addition of a newly installed and fully functioning beehive on the South Lawn.
Hand-crafted by a local artisan in the image of the White House, the beautiful, new hive will add two new bee colonies to the existing two colonies that already produce the signature White House honey. 🍯 🐝
