My memories of 9/11 in the midwest are a lot of self-aggrandizing racist paranoia (terrorists could target the lock and dam! This Egyptian restaurant owner took flying lessons, arrest him!) But also, so many donated blood, or traveled to NYC to volunteer. We can choose to do good. I hope we do.

Gonna rant about Matt Bevin, an ambulatory hemorrhoid. He’s in the news because he got arrested on set of some wanna-be Hallmark Xmas movie. First a big shout out to the lady that called in to get him arrested. A++ and I love that she searched for his DOB while calling 911

RIP Dolly. My family had a tape of Best Little Whorehouse in Texas I watched repeatedly at a probably too young age lol. Her music is common ground I share with family members I otherwise butt heads with. Her kindness and talent were and are truly inspiring.

One of the best things I saw at the Kentucky State Fair. I had to take the picture quickly, people kept wanting to come in for a closer look
A large colorful quilt hanging on a display frame. Most of the quilt is an explosion of intricately-pieced circular flowers overlapping each other, with red and blue birds flying to and landing on them. The top right most circle is a sun. The background is a gray green color. There’s a tag on the right side-the artist is Sarah Cawthon, the quilt won 2nd in its division

my happiness would kill them so I shove joy like a knife into my own heart over and over #SaturdayPoem
Reasons to Survive November
Tony Hoagland

November like a train wreck—
as if a locomotive made of cold
had hurtled out of Canada
and crashed into a million trees,
flaming the leaves, setting the woods on fire.

The sky is a thick, cold gauze—
but there’s a soup special at the Waffle House downtown,
and the Jack Parsons show is up at the museum,
full of luminous red barns.

—Or maybe I’ll visit beautiful Donna,
the kickboxing queen from Santa Fe,
and roll around in her foldout bed.

I know there are some people out there
who think I am supposed to end up
                in a room by myself

with a gun and a bottle full of hate,
a locked door and my slack mouth open
          like a disconnected phone.

But I hate those people back
from the core of my donkey soul
and the hatred makes me strong
and my survival is their failure,

and my happiness would kill them
so I shove joy like a knife
into my own heart over and over

and I force myself toward pleasure,
and I love this November life
where I run like a train
deeper and deeper
into the land of my enemies.

If someone hands you a prehistoric sculpture of someone telling Ol’ Toppy to giddy-up, something’s wrong. But what? Scientists have firmly established that humans and (non-avian) dinosaurs didn’t coexist, and that prehistoric people imagined different pasts than we do when they encountered fossils.
