"Trying to be a serious poet and failing ecstatically." - Me
Pinned
Dancing around the house to Robyn fixes pretty much anything. This is science.
I don’t know how you reset your vibe, but tonight I’m playing “Dopamine” by Robyn on repeat & dancing around the house & I’m telling you…it’s working.

'if you pick it, you will bleed'

I can't not pick it. This scab is on my mouth, my heart.

If I do not remove it, I will die.

It basically just describes an agent, but I was thinking this a.m. how helpful it would be to have someone who'd submit my poems to journals for me. I'd love to do it, but what with my IRL it becomes "Ain't Nobody Got Time For That."

Having this is my feed + Maybe It Will Happen Today (@today-maybe.bsky.social) is an interesting mental combo.

(I am actually against violence in pretty much any form, but the schadenfreude of some people getting their desserts is exceptionally seductive in this day and age.)
Could be about anyone.

I would like to skip the ringside seat at this debauched circus and go straight to the empty field where the tent once stood.

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

This grumpy little guy turned out so cute, I love him!

Plus, this means I'm almost caught up on all my commissions and can focus on market prep!!

Don't forget to come say hi this weekend at the Prestige in Longview!

Morning #SunriseReport !

Apparently this is a winter / non-daylight-savings thing for me, I really didn't do as many across the summer.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry
