If it doesn’t matter whether stories are written by machines, then explain why people show up to readings, want books signed, interview writers, put photos of their houses in magazines, seek them out for advice, pay to be in their classes, act overly familiar because they feel like they know them...

Izzy hasn’t been online lately what with chipmunk season in the stonewalls and the return of backyard-creek swimming weather but she’s still perfect.

Neighbor and I just cleared a tree that fell across road in sudden, violent thunderstorm, with chainsaws. Then walked around neighborhood with beers and my dog, trespassing and gossiping. My clothes are soaked through and muddy. A perfect evening.

This is what I must contend with every day. I’m defenseless!

I know there are more insidious uses of AI, but one of the most depressing to me is when it pops up in local TV ads. These things are supposed to be folk art; put your uncle in a bad wig like god intended.

Since partnering with this beast I am no longer allowed to work in my Winter Office (bed). She herds me into approved daytime areas. Then naps in full view to mock me.

My dog scraped off all her black nose pigment hunting chipmunks in the woodpile and the stone wall. Anyone have tips for encouraging it to grow back?

our dog is part corgi part German Sheppard and whenever people hear this fact they say "oh imagine those two dogs making him" and like, yeah imagine true love in a doomed world, I don't know what we're all so afraid of.

After a 6.5 hour, slo-mo sink-related disaster, I finally called it and told this taskrabbit guy that I know he tried but he made things exponentially worse. My dog’s all runnin’ with her dress unbuttoned, screaming but Momma I love him

I fell for it again. My dog clanged the metal garbage can and her empty bowl and barked at me. I thought she was extra hungry and gave snacks. Then I remembered she does this if I don’t appropriately move from what she considers the day portion of the house to approved Night Areas. I never learn.

Once a week I give my dog a big cardboard box to rip and shred and then I crawl around on my knees picking up the the scraps. Now she celebrates whenever a package gets delivered.

Attn: Gen X I have attained a pristine pair of the same boots Molly Ringwald wore in The Breakfast Club. Not similar, but 1980s Ralph Lauren deadstock. Decades of searching. they were always waiting for me. (Soundtrack of this post by Simple Minds.)

Emilio Estevez is also in this photo but that’s not the point.

I'm sorry but it's time.
A poem by Jennifer Michael Hecht:

September

Tonight there must be people who are getting what they want.
I let my oars fall into the water.
Good for them. Good for them, getting what they want.

The night is so still that I forget to breathe.
The dark air is getting colder. Birds are leaving.

Tonight there are people getting just what they need.

The air is so still that it seems to stop my heart.
I remember you in a black and white photograph
taken this time of some year. You were leaning against a half-shed tree,
standing in the leaves the tree had lost.

When I finally exhale it takes forever to be over.

Tonight, there are people who are so happy
that they have forgotten to worry about tomorrow.

Somewhere, people have entirely forgotten about tomorrow.
My hand trails in the water.
I should not have dropped those oars. Such a soft wind.

Would you be interested in helping some incarcerated folks access art supplies? A request from my pen pal follows. This is one way to fight fascism. Humanize the incarcerated. Jeremiah works so hard to help others.
Acrylic or watercolor paints tubes or bottlesI would super appreciate this I don't have anyone who would get me stuff but I love art and I have a huge desire to make stuff and get people engaged. I get people involved in with art here in prison and it brings people so much joy. See most people in prison didn't experience anything like that when they grew up so they didn't know they have a passion for art. What I am trying to do is offer a welcoming and inspiring space where individuals can express their creativity, grow and connect with others through the joy of art. I share all of my art supplies with anyone who has the desire to have fun. I think that it is important in a place like this to bring a little color and also get people to smile. I really appreciate all the support and I will send lots of pictures. Thank you for everything, make sure you order everything from Blick.

Fun fact about the DC State Fair: we offer more than 60 contests including best pie, funkiest looking fruit/vegetable, best kids’ slime, and best District poem. I’m the president of the board now, but my involvement at the fair started with a blue ribbon for Best Fruit Pie (Non-Apple) in 2019.

My neighbor did everything she could for the chicken Izzy and I found dumped on side of road in a cardboard box, including bringing her in every evening to watch detective shows. But she wasn’t built to last. RIP Poppy, we love you.
