Another of my cats just went to the ICU and I'm so. Tired.

Hello queerly beloved! This will be my last call. On Wednesday I close signups, and Thursday I start writing in The Winter Has Teeth. To recap: Yes, you deserve something good in the mail. Yes, you're queer enough. No, you're not stealing someone else's spot. This poem is for you.

I am out $310 but I have a working phone again, and dx show that the only problem was the screen. So that's something.

As if I did not have enough what in my what the fuck... Last night I was reading a web article, and my phone suddenly flashed a few bars and then went dark. As far as I can tell, the screen just gave up the ghost. No cracks or anything. So NOW I have to get my phone fixed *today* Yaaay. /s

Colorado's voter blue book came yesterday... and friends, huge yikes. There are so many Bad Bills trying to slip in during the off season. Holy shit. I need Colorado to send these hateful bastards packing.

Alright, friends, it's nearly October... here is my absolute last call for jams and salsa for the season! I suddenly need to make extra space, so help me clear my pantry and get some autumn in your belly. If you order before Sunday afternoon, I'll ship early next week!

It's really like our current tech hellscape that after reinventing* the bus, the car, and the internet, they're reinventing* call centers. Right down to the part where they charge $200/hr to pay someone $12/hr (or less, usually less).

Speaking of equinox and harvest. I have to harvest the tomatoes slightly before peak, or the squirrels steal them. #GardenVarietyQueer

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...

The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass. It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots. This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

One time a few years ago, a fellow poet signed up for my poetry mailings. I wrote a pretty great little snippet for that person, and never heard back. 😅 "A Tale of Two Poets..." I write every poem for the specific person, but I also write them for me. Because it's important.

Ok, friends, here we are. Another week or so, less than 20 spots to go, and a race between Bluesky and Mastodon to find queer hearts and mailboxes that need a typewritten poem in December. Then we can get back to our regularly scheduled skeletons.

Today I (with some assistance from partner) started 1.5 gallons of vanilla extracting, started 56 new basil cuttings, and did some tomato pruning. I would say "ask me anything" but that's a nearly open invitation.

The harder the world feels, the more we need to carve out moments to observe our growth and our joy. And the more challenging it can be to accept it from elsewhere. I still have room for 30 people in this year's poetry project. I promise, accepting joy is not creating burden. Get yours.
