It's wild seeing all this footage at the Jersey Shore (and knowing exact locations being inundated). We were just returning from our vacation in the Cape May County area exactly a month ago. Shows you how quickly things can change weather-wise... :-\

It's quite unfortunate to be a relief pitcher and have the surname Blewett. Sam Blewett is on now ... and the score is tied. ;-)

As someone who went through it, I promise you, it was an occupation. Looked and felt like we were being overtaken. I’m still triggered as are SO many of us. I am changed from it, it was absolute terror.

Am I the only person (apart from my wife) who don't do flu and COVID shots at the same time? It's just been habit now after 2022 -- get COVID first, then a few weeks later flu.

Joke's on me, tho. Some random dude walking his dog decided to stop right where our alliums are and let it rifle around the plants. As I was doing yardwork in another garden bed. Only 100 ft. away. Who does this?! And why would you act shocked when I ask you not to let your dog ruin our vegetation!?

I enjoyed the karmic loss the Browns had today. I truly, truly did. They lost any sort of support from me after they brought Watson here, and I'm glad that Watson continues to showcase his worth.

Off I go into the weeds of manuscript edits for There’s No Future Where We Don’t Have Fire! It’ll be here in less than a year thanks to @unsolicitedpress.bsky.social! 🔥🔥🔥

A black TÜL pen, clicked open, rest on the first poem of part I of my book, There's No Future Where We Don't Have Fire. The poem is "Dawn Again."

They say
"Read sky in the morning"
but I'm not a sailor.

Nature has a way of catching seagulls
so I don’t have to
see endless streams of them
on the beach at low tide.

Earth sheds its treasures
littered on a few miles of sand.
August haze floats over the horizon
and spray flings out to catch my feet
when I lay a towel down. And soon the sun
will dry everything up, every single thing.

It takes an ocean not to break.

Every year, my wife and I stare at each other,
say it’s about time we make it back
and reach our hands out
toward the endlessness of the ocean.

We’re moths. Our footsteps sink
into the dry, glowing packets that become
a more hardened surface. But that’s where
the waves crash ashore. Cassandra said something,
“take warning” maybe? But no one listens.

You’ll see everyone strewn about,
stuck and surrounded by planks of houses,
wayward limbs, and the oil.
A lot of oil.
No one ever fucking listens.

I had planned to attend two digital events tonight -- but something HUGE came up. I feel so bad, because I wanted to go to both of these things. The best part though is that both are recorded, and I can view them after the fact.

Setting aside right and wrong, what’s the *point*? What fulfillment or growth comes from this? Who would care to read it? I saw a musician post “Having AI write a song for you is like paying someone to do a jigsaw puzzle for you.”

"the raw data of a novel" 🙃 The way AI evangelists talk about art is truly alien to me. (From a comment left on an article of mine.)

If you put in the raw data that is needed to write this novel and all the ideas are yours what is wrong with having AI write it? All the foundation was yours. Maybe you're not that great of a writer, but hey you can sure craft a plot and storyline, build characters and design your own world. Yet the problem comes in putting it all together. Isn't that writers use to do before AI was hire GHOST writers to finish a manuscript?

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

A good day to remind everyone that Dolly loved books. She gave millions upon millions of books to children. Folks who want to ban books and cut funding to libraries and book-related programs? We’re coming for you in the name of Dolly.

Dolly was the image of what *could be* done with wealth if you retained your humanity. She literally FUNDED the COVID vaccine. What contrast to such rampant corruption. What a devastating loss. Rest in peace, goddess. 💗

Dolly Parton's passing is incomparably sad. Mary watched a special earlier this month about her, and said Dolly made a statement that she had so much left she wanted to accomplish. Still, look at how much Dolly did accomplish during her life -- especially her music and literacy work. RIP.
