Meet Willl Truman

Maribou in reply to Will Truman says:

@will-truman In order to provide material for my own parody account, I feel compelled to point out that the historical purpose of Rhode Island was to be a haven for dissenters and those “distressed of conscience.” (Heyo, Roger Williams, a man ahead of his time.) In the 80s and 90s, its purpose was to be a haven for LGBTQ people who liked beaches and didn’t feel like faking the Fire Island mystique for the summer. (Also townie LGBTQ people who liked cold beaches and didn’t mind having to deal with tourists all summer. If you know what I mean by “having to deal with” ;). ) While there are still plenty of all those folks hanging out in the place these days, what I hear from a friend who lived there is that its MAIN purpose is to be a haven for people who crave both fresh seafood AND traditional Italian food, and who like to own their own boats and/or write literary fiction with a distinct vein of melancholy.* (Full disclosure: said friend prefers North Dakota.)

This is a fun game! *starts her own parody Twitter acc… oh wait, I’d have to tweet enough to be parodied first*

*You know, as opposed to all that cheerful literary fiction you hear so much about.Report
