"In prison, we often must adapt to abnormal conditions, including seeing distorted versions of ourselves. After I finished my morning routine, I considered whether there were any documented psychological effects of us not seeing ourselves for long periods of time."

Love this, but I couldn't help noticing: the article claims there are at least 18 out LGBTQ+ players in the league. I don't believe that's entirely accurate because I don't think there are any out trans players in the league. Might be more accurate to say LGB, unfortunately.

I would kill or die for Larry

A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

Ignoring the rest of my life to post my eldritch Garfield poem, specifically its Garfield-as-Eldritch-Sea-God-of-Late-Capitalism with all of us unknowingly partaking of his microplastic communion. Originally published in Broken Sleep Book's 'Footprints: An Anthology of New Ecopoetry' 2022

Ask Not For Whom the Garfield Phone Rings
Since the 1980’s fragments of novelty Garfield phones have been washing up along a stretch of coastline in Brittany, France. It is suspected they come from a submerged tanker lost overboard during a storm.

1.

Good news from the abyss:
there are no more Mondays
other days are suspect and
we are waiting for it’s decision.

In the ocean’s penumbra dial tone
unmoving eye fragments of self
a dozen, two dozen, innumerable
pieces worn to sand, held in the bellies
of gulls, mouths of fish their language
returns to his.

Microplastics, in the right circumstance
have occult properties. Imagine
being everywhere at once. Having
a copyrighted face. Everyone knowing
of you and speaking of you, partaking
of body being consumed.
Cats always were gods. Whats
one more apotheosis? Meow. fear
everything you do not know fear
everything.

2.
The shuttered-in numerations
of our dark god lasagne.
demand
What medium holds the line? What angels ping through the wire
like silver minnows? Operator?
Operator?
The dial tone is the same - a sea’s hush.
Is there anything there?
As a child, you held shells up to your ears
to listen something other than human noise. That chatter, radio, cluttered invention. The thrill of hearing an ocean mutter,
secret left by the ghost of some pink
mollusc
You are part of it. The bizarre
orange eucharist. Scrubbed your face, flossed your teeth. Those hydrocarbons have something to say, John.
You are our disciple, John.

3.
Ring ring. Ring ring.
Are you going to answer?
Ring ring.
Are you going to beg for forgiveness? It will not bring back their children.
Ring ring. Ring ring.
Fathoms below are their full number. A tanker overturned. They were not so strange new. But algae flourishes, hermit crabs die in the circuitry,
the petroleum’s ancient life fills with descendants.
Ring ring. Last chance.
No answerphone, no answers.
Your terrified voice drumming in your small human ears. H-hello?
Who’s there?

4.
Our gods no longer fit
inside their comic strips.
They have come out to play.

A scarlet polyp pushes out of the receiver
as if in answer to some unspoken prayer,
the anemone sticks to the cavern
of your ear.
Good god! No, not quite.
Everything is a funeral in the years
before the drowning. This:
the first hymn.
The soft tissue of your brain is the tail
of a new species of hermit crab. His pincers
reach out of your mouth, Eyestalks
glint behind your wet gums.
Our bodies will return to sediment.
Algae and plankton and mycelium
in a groupchat without you.
Plastic orange cats and plastic orange cats
flowing, fragment by fragment
into everything.
Washed up, they begin to ring.
They ring for thee.
