The cat that comes to see me every morning because he is hungry and wants me to get up and feed everyone sometimes gets distracted and naps with me a while. Unprofessional in a way I really respect. He has a clear purpose and goals but recognizes that comfort and rest can be restorative.

Exciting news: I was selected for a fellowship with Poets & Writers for their Get the Word Out publicity incubator. Publicity is something I could still use a lot of work on, and since I have a book coming out with the wonderful Burrow Press in 2027, this is a perfect time to learn some new skills!

It's fun to throw my digestive system a challenge from time to time. Like, for instance, anything tasty.

It's great hearing a wet cough somewhere behind me on an airplane in the autumn. You're back there coughing your best coughs. "I'm not sick," you say, checking the thermometer. 104. "I run a little hot," you say. I nod and wipe the flecks from the back of my neck. "I'm sure it's fine."

Sincerely, though, the brutality of algorithm and insidious interface of my phone have rototilled my brain into a field for frightening crops. Ought to run with whatever capacity I have left.

Shocked at how interesting uninteresting things can be.

The inside of this U-Haul office smells like weed and I’m here for it.

Low down, boiling bullshit. I got that low down, boiling bullshit. Found some bullshit and put it in a pot. Boiled it down really good until I got… that low down, boiling bullshit. I got that low down, boiling bullshit.

Being online and on apps feels like a deeply unrelatable experience despite the fact that vast majority of us are constantly experiencing some version of it. Social media existentialism feels pretty limp.

Punk and post punk emerged simultaneously.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Many mornings, as the sun hits the east window of our bedroom, my cat comes and snuggles up between me and my wife, then rolls over onto his back while I pet his belly. The sun is almost too bright for me, but I can see his neck fur vibrating as he purrs, a grin on his face, his paws curled over.

Smart points about the function of public institutions, and, more specifically, archives which are now or will soon feel gaps in funding. Throw open the door to the public, archivists, or start boxing up the collection you oversee for private ownership. pluralistic.net/2025/03/19/s...

All you creative geniuses out there, eat a damned salad, take your vitamins, and go for a fucking walk.

Cabo Boing, aka Brian Esser, an artist I’ve been following for 20 years, makes amazing, outrageous music that inherits Devo’s mutated futurism and filters it through the lens of millennial horror into something utterly unique. Pinballing rhythms churn behind clownish synth and funhouse vocals. Aces.

Snaps from a recent synth meetup I helped organize. Gathering with friends with common interests - yes!

This is Zookraught from Seattle. They burst with energy while they play and their music is very exciting.

My elderly cat having an epiphany when I put a flannel shirt over his makeshift nest on the couch on an uncomfortably cool day. “Science,” he whispers, as he drifts into a nap.

Disorienting to watch the news aggregators that have been blasting a fire hose of boiling hostility across their feeds for the entirety of this exhaustingly long election cycle smashing to “everyone’s, like, the same, man” coverage just in time for mega shopping. 🖕🖕

Participating in this decentralized platform as it starts to gain traction makes my feral internet heart smile.
