I hate when my brain has more energy than my body. Like, do I push it and capture this massive creative surge while absolutely ensuring crash and burn or do I respect my body and like...lose out on this lucidity and drive? Damn, dude

With his face covered in dancing sunlight, we said goodbye to Dapper, the most beloved dog in the universe on Monday the 15th. I wrote this poem from my experiences during the last weeks, trying to catching and store away every detail of him before it was gone from my sight.

Wikipedia is my library, my church. A communal, human-crafted, fact-checked, free-to-all wealth. Still free after all of these years. Since 2001. I donate every month, and you should too.

Re: big vs little spoon debate— I'm so sorry, but the little spoon is too little. It doesn't work for me. I'm too impatient.

I really went to the desert (water, water, nowhere, and not a drop to drink) and drank deeply of MUSES’ cup, y’all.

a cup is useful because it is hollow. poetry is useful because it is space giving.

This song just bubbled up into my consciousness, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Kerli still makes music. I think I originally heard them on YouTube like 20 years ago. open.spotify.com/track/42bTIo...

I've been playing with digital collage for a while, but I never got around to posting this one. When my words don't work, I find another medium for what doesn't fit into morphemes.

Set my phone up about a month ago so it’s all black and white and I installed an app that lets you rearrange things so there are no visible apps on the Home Screen. It’s just words you tap that take you to the app you need. And I deleted all social media but Blue Sky, Reddit, and LinkedIn.

I just finished @stephenking.bsky.social’s On Writing. It got the job done. I’ve written something each day since I started the book. Little somethings, but that’s how it sometimes starts.

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

Conscious spending is powerful— I spent $40+ on dog treats to make our upcoming move more fun for our dogs and instead of buying from #amazon, I chose to purchase from #chewy instead! P.s. As an industry vet, I’ll also add that Chewy has the best customer service. Love them.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

I gotta say— starting a new job and moving house is a LOT harder emotionally and stress-wise during an active coup.
