When you convince a long-distance crush
To meet halfway for a date
You want to appear cool to not be in a rush
You fear you might not rate.
You want your bros at home to see
But nervous and arroused, it's all a blur.
Wha seems to pee
the broblem, Ossifer?

...I chase melting edges,
trying to grasp and hold back a river of time,
a constant current carrying me and her onward,
whether we are ready or not,
through the landscapes of our lives...

Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my feigned enthusiasm for the ambiguous position of—I think it was something like “Global Strategy Content Execution Associate”?
Cover Letter for a Job I Don’t Want but Will Be Offended Not to Get
My résumé reflects a pattern of, let’s call it, erratic brilliance punctuated by long stretches of disillusionment, which I’ve cleverly framed as “consulting.”

The Peace of Wild Things
Written and read #WendellBerry
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

A great antidote for feelings of helplessness at what’s happening to our country is to get back out there and support the policies and people who will help change things! Was proud to support @sarahforiowa.bsky.social for Congress today, and to meet Iowans of all types! #Vote #VoteEconomy #VoteBlue

They spin and frame
The simplest facts
To avoid shame
(Wait…that is gone)
To avoid blame
And they’ll protest
That we are insane
While they dehumanize
Pillage
And cause more pain

Grateful and inspired by @mercurystardust.bsky.social today at a #CapitalCityPride event. Such an authentic, honest, brave, and funny soul. Thanks for being a voice saying it’s ok to not innately know what to do in home repair (or life).

A study in confidence
In being oneself
Smart, gay, funny?
No apology
Awkward unfunny misogynist joke comes your way?
No need to say
The obvious
No panic no rush
Weaponize the pregnant pause
Cause pod bros to blush
Just embody what is self-evident
No one would make a better president
