These are the best I've ever seen, even when we lived in Winnipeg.

In even better memories, this was the erasure poem from the poetry club I taught in the elementary school I worked at 9 years ago. The kids picked their fav words, and erased. Also when dabbing was the thing to do. Do kids still dab?

In non Disney trauma, the tomato plants presumed dead, that we put in the garage, to deal with later, have little tiny tomatoes on them. We should get warmer weather in a few days, so maybe we'll put them back outside. 🍅

My student loan was 13.75% in 1984 for a 10 year loan. It was Canada and it wasn't a massive amount, but if you are making 4-5 bucks an hour, it was a stretch to pay some months.
My first mortgage was in '89 and it was 10% - and that was a VA mortgage that was 1 point below prime. Commercial mortgages were high 12s, low 13s.

I think Patti Smith's new book, Bread of Angels, might be the best memoir I've ever read. Saw her 2 yrs ago in NYC. This book is an angel dreaming, singing, and living poetry. Hauntingly sad but joy throughout. Read it!! Next up King Congo Powers' Some New Kind of Kick. Saw him with The Cramps.

What isn't written in is as important as what is. This is such a great post. Last Napowrimo, someone said they saw the other side about my month's worth, and it filled with with joy and worry. What did they see?? I meant it gone, but nope, there it was. The shadow imprint remains sometimes.

In the 80s, when we lived in Ann Arbor, reading her work made me feel like I could trust the world a little more than I did. I didn't know how true the Gaia hypothesis was, didn't matter, a welcoming idea, as I gardened our four organic plots. A nice convergence of thinking, feeling, and doing.

After watching Frankenstein, I've decided Elordi’s was a really great rendition, subtler than I expected, and didn't look like him at all. Didn't roar as much as Victor, who emoted, let's say. Parenting gone wrong, front and center. Visually gorgeous. Haven't read the book in a while, will soon.

Doing an Alias rewatch. If they ever do a reboot, Ilona Maher has to play Sydney Bristow's daughter.

I never knew I'd share my pizza making lore, but there it is. I forgot to mention, add sugar if you remember. Kneading isn't that important since you want a pretty wet situation. I make pizza a lot, like a lot. Weather is a factor which can mess up the dough, drying it out. Magic you know.

And event people on campuses, bring sandwich bags to your events to give away extra food to students at the event or wandering about after.
I’ve made my donation to our local food bank and also added some food to our pantry on campus. If you can please donate. People are going to be struggling.

Gorgeous. And how cute? My morning imaginings on the matter. They were his pets that would waddle around following him through the palace. He wore the bracelet in honour of them. Even brought the pets on some of his expeditions. Factual MMV. 🦆🦆
Gold bracelets of King Ramesses II. Decorated with two little duck heads. 🦆 🦆 😍

Good lord. No matter who women choose to be, or are, someone's going to trash their parade. Loved when Jennifer Laurence was fully her wacky self, which now she regrets. I don't remember if she ever used it against anyone, so whatever. Live large in a world that makes you small.

Watching A House of Dynamite on Netflix. I want to know if House of and The Night Agent are in the same universe, (I know they're not) because that would be a wild thing. Also you get a good hammering heart workout with A House of Dynamite. Remembering The Day After because same vibes.
