The best essay I’ve ever written:

Things these days are bad. When I was young, they were good. I blame the things I don’t like for this.
Probably like a 3.

Just got an auto-response to a work email "I will have intermittent access to my email today - I'm uncertain if my ascension to heaven will interrupt my access to email. Will return all outreach upon my return."

The pantry does great work, and they are always looking for food delivery assistance! Drivers, bikers, walkers; all can help!
Please consider giving to the Astoria Food Pantry, which serves immigrants in Queens, many of whom have been prevented from going to work because of fear of ICE raids. The line of those waiting for food was down the block when I passed by today. www.astoriafoodpantry.com/donate-money...

Someone much smarter than I should probably compare this to the rollout and adoption of video for online news sources. A story where the impacts and buy in where plainly overstated to force organizations to pivot to a new media, only to have their user engagement disappear.

If you are lucky and you live well, you may make friends that can help you celebrate the life of the ones you love when they pass. Incredibly grateful for this piece made to celebrate the life of my dad. It’ll probably make my mom cry when I give it to her, but that’s okay. Thanks, bud.
This rail spike knife was made as a memorial piece for a man who was many things, including a train enthusiast and a beloved father.

In less than 24hrs with the help of family, friends and community members, we were able to raise just over $4k! This is a huge accomplishment and I feel so lucky. Thank you for sharing and donating. Please help me keep the momentum going!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

@dieworkwear.bsky.social have you ever written about the origin of pockets? I imagine there was a time when they weren’t a fixture on nearly every article of clothing, but is there a specific about their origin anywhere?

I love that I just got an email from the company in charge of my 401k citing the potential collapse of Social Security as a reason to increase my payments into the savings the day the dow drops like 2000 points. Living through unprecedented times is fucking tight.

If I’ve learned anything from David Lynch movies and tv shows, he’s now a large teapot or perhaps a night stand drawer’s knob. RIP (Rest in Percolators)

I am tired of people who claim they love their country and hate most of its people.

Can we all agree nobody likes sleet? Which is happening outside. You have your folks who are romantic about snow, but no one gets excited about it raining ice.

How is this ten years old!? Also, love that the only person in this video still on the Sharks is Goodrow, who left and returned since it was made. #sjsharks

New York is pretty this morning - cold, clear, still wet from the last two days of dreary and consistent rain. The pup is a fan.

I’ve logged back in to post Marcellus Williams poems. You can read a few here.
For Marcellus Williams, Who Has Been on Death Row for 24 Years, Poetry Is a Lifeline
Some of his most meaningful pieces are the ones he writes to support and remember others facing execution.

The only meaningful freedom America is bent on protecting is the freedom to commit acts of violence.

Black people been knowing. And you ask why we have nonchalance about extremism in America? Because we get extremism in America constantly, simply.
