Was so amazing to see at the time (and still is).

I did get a little dark there for a second. For sure a "Hunks of Radon Abatement" calendar would do wonders for mom.

This shit rules. Buy it for your mom and yourself. She still won't love you but at least you'll be rocking the fuck out.

Please don’t buy our books on Amazon. If you can’t afford to buy them from a real bookstore or from us directly, pirate them from Anna’s Archive like God intended.

Not a lot of details here on how the contract will be ended or when. Also no good if they just switch to a different brand of mass surveillance aka The American Way™.

This was all routine maintenance stuff on a 10 year old car. Car work has gotten so expensive (along with everything else).

Kind of can't stop thinking about Exxon saying they're expecting global warming to hit 5°C by 2050 and how that means something like 4 billion dead and we're all just pumping gas into our cars and having endless wars just like always. And yeah I need to fill up on dead dinosaurs too.

absolute fed shit. all art is a social practice, a way of gathering, organizing, sharing spacetime, and building community. the desire to mediate this through publication is part of an ongoing process of capitalist enclosure, which is what's actually killing poetry.

What do I pay taxes for if it's going to be back in the 80s this week? Oh that's right, taxes are for endless warfare so we can have all the oil and ensure that this week next year will be in the 90s. Amen.

just want to note this is word for word something i heard after i was raped, first at 13 and then at 18 (all in the 1990s). couldn’t have been non-consensual because i was so ugly i would have naturally been grateful for the attention

This is fascinating. I think more density would help all of my favorite things about this city. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/a809...

Many of our neighborhoods are 40% less dense than they were in 1950. What happened?

There is now an alternate poster for this gig one week from tomorrow at the bicycle repair co-op and "sassy mathgrind" is definitely my new favorite genre term. Day for Night will be Danny Finney, David Dominique, me & a surprise guest star who looks way better than me in leather pants.
A black and white flyer with images of what looks like an old tv and a reel to reel maybe. 

Text reads:
Collapsing (noise poetry on tour)
Day for Night (improvised noise)
Cry Violence (sassy mathgrind)

Rag & Bones Bicycle Co-op

These days AI is the un-asked-for U2 album on your new iPhone, no matter what you think of it or if you are trying to avoid it it’s been put there and a politics of purity is just misrepresentation. The privilege of thinking one opts out when it is forced on min wage workers/job applicants.

I don't want a job. I want to be a writer. and if writing never becomes my job I never have to work. I haven't figured out the money part of the plan yet, I'm planning just to die first and then I won't have to write anymore. I have it all figured out. Just follow me for more tips

They did a great job with casting and actors are so exceptionally good. I wanted to kick Alex in the dick from the first episode though, and that was long before he was outed as a sex pest and they killed him off.

I'm on book 7 which is well past the tv show storyline at this point which does help see the characters a little differently.

David Menestres @abstracttruth.northsky.social · 04/10/2026
I've seen the show it's great (helps the book authors worked on it too) but I wish I had read them first since it's hard for me to visualize the characters as anything but the TV versions (who are all total babes but still).

David Menestres @abstracttruth.northsky.social · 04/10/2026
Not yet. I rarely get into series this long, the storyline usually gets boring to me after a thousand pages but this one is rocking along ok so far and I'm on book 7.
