Tim Barrus, Ireland
My family is from Cork. Famine. I went back. Soldiering the discovering of the backpack. There was enormous death. How homo sapiens move. Follow the food. Not unlike spider crabs that sizzle across the ocean’s desert floor living splendidly on corpses. Without them, the planet would be another vicious animal…

Every journalist alive has a crystal ball. What Comes Next is big business. Big podcast. Big names. Big money. Big experts. But what about tomorrow. Hire an expert to build a time machine. So the experts among us make the rules. Most physicists agree that going forward is theoretically feasible.…

The New York Times gives Jessica Grose too much rope. Who is this strange woman. She harps and claws on and on and on – fertility. Is. Her issue. Parenting (OMG) is her issue. Education is her issue. This is a woman who has sat at the journalism table (books,…

The deviant isn’t human. It’s the Last Man standing syndrome. In order to survive, I am compelled to take the long view. There is a vibe here that says: We will survive if we just hold our breath. We assume It was a playground bully. But what I hear is…

Tim Barrus and the New York Times
Unprepared for what is coming. It’s here. There is no tomorrow. There is only yesterday. It’s not coming for you. It has you. Every single time I write what I believe – the deviant wants to kill us all – I am kicked back into the street I came from.…

Walking has become increasingly more and more difficult. I told my bones that MRI smilies are inappropriate. The elbow crutches are a work of wonder. I am now off the dirt bike. My eyes to the sky. I know I will ride it one more time. “Fall in love with…

Judges have something we do not have. Judges have a direct line to law enforcement the Little People cannot access. I do not believe that law enforcement is filled with good people. Their job is to punish. The Deviant may send out his minions to hurt, degrade, humiliate, murder, marginalize,…

Autism and the Church, feel like walking barefoot on smashed glass shards a mile long in the dark. What I have seen the Church do to homo sapiens is just another cursed slavery. They didn’t like me at Church. I had to pray at a certain time, in a certain…

It’s all a question of risk and the odds risk plays with. Did you know that when we sit down to cards and blackjack, what we are reading is the Book of Ashes, and the room, it’s always the same game. There are only so many odds that we carry…

Kristen Soltis Anderson nails it. She knows what to ask. There is a sting. It’s just over the next horizon. Her outrage over the sex crimes – crimes the deviant denies and denies and denies and denies – is the same outrage that most people have. Obviously, these were crimes…

I admire writers who are willing to put that thing which is writing – to the test. A tsunami of power has always been on the way. And at the moment, we are all poised, hanging, breathing carefully, over some chasm at what has come before. There are few of…

I am autistic (I am suppose to say neurodivergent). What does that mean. It means I wear a mask when I am not sleeping. When you wear the mask, Other People think they are seeing the real thing. You do not want to know the real thing. Any friendliness I…

I am going to use a word you will not approve of. Because your addiction for what you think is the truth is easily misperceived. The word I am going to use is the word fetish. This is not limited to sex or sexuality alone. I would argue that the…

Let’s review. The good guys have guns. The bad guys have guns. A legal gunfight. How is that even possible. I live in Appalachia in a tiny town with a lot of guns. Anything is possible. ICE’s shadow stands behind every door. We grow food. A lot of food. People,…

ABOLISH ICE I live in Appalachia. Just down the dirt road, there’s a sight impossible to miss. Knotted down to the entrails of the earth, there’s a sick soaked spot that was a mountain. We blew mountains up for coal, and we will do it again. PBS was on it.…

Tim Barrus Writes the Bluez
21 a novel by tim barrus NEW ORLEANS GENTILLY ROAD MOTEL We had become Invisible. The guns we were buying — this time, too — were dubious at best. Cervantes was late. Being punctual was odd. For homo sapiens sapiens. It meant something ominous. A punctual pattern. There is no…

Let’s review. I am left inside stupefaction’s plastic shell. It cracks and the tourists jump out. We would all love to frolic here. There will be a test. All tourists should be required to know exactly how much carbon footprint if you were Godzilla stomping around and drinking spritzers. What…
