Walter Rhein PodcastIt's a Privilege to Have Conversations With Brilliant Writers and ThinkersHello Everyone!I posted the above picture as a note a few weeks ago, but maybe some of you missed it. The story is that there’s a woman who works the drive through at Burger King who once gave my dog a piece of bacon. Ever since that day, whenever we pull up to the window, he sticks his head out to demand his piece of bacon.Anyone who doesn’t think dogs can communicate is fooling themselves.He’s a good boy… but you can’t blame a dog for wanting some bacon...

The Daily WhateverThe Daily Whatever, July 29: Lawrence’s Latest Novel ChapterOf the many joys I’ve found here on Substack (seriously, don’t laugh!) one of the most surprising to me is the elation I feel when reading excerpts of my novel out loud for the chat on our Lives. I had no idea how rewarding that would feel, but here I am, awash in the post-orgasmic glow of yet another successful read, and ladies and germs, let me tell you, it rivals sex. Today, I read from chapter 3 of Light Shines Through, my queer dystopian sci-fi novel that I’m serializing over on Lawrence Winner...

But definitely listen to the podcast because it’s soooo gorgeous when Lawrence reads his own work.We decided we needed the full show to discuss Jake, and that we’ll talk about Chapter 3 - Jackie on Sat...

Sick of this PodWhy mental health mattersHey y’all, this is just a part of my story. This is hard to post and hard to say, but I’m going to do it anyway. I’m an Army Veteran and my journey through needing a knee surgery that has led to a Fibromyalgia diagnosis, multiple suicidal ideations, and the success of learning how to mindfully care for myself. This video doesn’t capture the next part of the sentiment — the VA mental health was the reason I made it through. My therapists have been incredible. They are the reason I can be here to tell this story...

Sick of this PodEmpathy over EvilThanks for a great conversation and hopefully a useful bit of wisdom. Do not lose your empathy, for that is a basis of our humanity. This effort to control and destroy is an effort to remove empathy from the equation. It’s to make the perfect, unfeeling automatons needed for the society envisioned by Peter Thiel, JD Vance, Elon Musk, and so many others.What gives us strength and joy is our empathy and ability to care.Author’s Note: If you enjoyed today’s episode please consider becoming a paid, or free, subscriber.
