Sorry, I'm gonna keep reposting this. I chose years back to work outside traditional poetry publishing processes, so for many, that makes what I do less legitimate. Their loss. Doesn't have to be yours too though.

so 1000 arrests a day is the unwritten quota?
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.
That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

while I'm thankful for them bc they keep my economic head above water, my patreon earnings have pretty much been static for like 5 years. I am a pretty shitty marketer, or a shitty artist, one or the other. maybe both.

hanging with my older uncles at like 10-12 in the parking lot on weekends was formative. lol I felt so grown. but these folks were mostly sober. I made the transition to getting fucked up at the arcade pretty quickly (lol at 12).
Anyway speaking of whether being a cracker or a hillbilly I'm showing this documentary in class today and pretending that it doesn't speak to my own experience to the extreme degree that it does www.folkstreams.net/films/parkin...

ah yes, having steeped my brain in world football for a decade now, I am (again) shocked at how many commercials I'm enduring watching this thing. I don't think it's a coincidence I quit drinking the same time I quit enjoying American football.

being the Patriots being NFL champions has always been a psy-ops (won their first one after 9/11), I predict they will win today, to engineer patriotism in all the ppl who think they are being alt by watching Bad Bunny instead of the dumbasses watching Kid Rock (plus beer & military commercials)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's a flea market in Winston-Salem, NC, that has a lucha-style wrestling show one Sunday a month, & once it's warm enough I gotta check that out

Some recently made "haiku railroad spikes".
One of my main creative outlets is I write haiku and then carve them into railroad spikes. They are art, but they are also magic (long history of railroad spikes being used for mystical purposes), & they are Southern Gothicc Futurism.
