Serious-ish Essays:
I used to study tax code, both American and Canadian. To say the subject was dry would be insulting to dryers. Now I study the more interesting aspects of it, and in this case, I looked at the origins of why the hell we all have to pay income tax every year. Don’t worry, it’s short and humorous.
Humor
Here’s a snarky take on self-help articles. You probably shouldn’t follow the advice in it. You probably should have a laugh, though.
Here’s a weird parody about a Texan GQP member seeing cat robot waiters for the first time (based on an essay I wrote last week). It was fun, but perhaps not enough context to get more than 50 views.
Medium on Medium:
In this essay, I talk about why I love when people write hateful comments on any of my articles. It actually helps me get more views—and that’s hilarious.
I decided to take Feedium in a slightly new direction. I’ll still post my wacky advice articles and contributors can still contribute any related work as they do (I get almost 10 articles a day now, wow). But I’m also looking for ‘teaching guides’ as related to anything for online content production.
Thanks for reading! I’ll have a longer one next week for you. I’m trying to get a few big pieces done in the next couple days so I can move on to the next stage of my writing routine/system.
I’m trying to smash out as much work as possible for the next two weeks before some peace and quiet camping down south. Well, it may include a long holiday weekend first, but hey, I’m only human.
