Gen X. Poet. Professor. I like dogs, art with edge, jeans, vintage, and gardening. Not a fan of empire, AI, wind, or okra. I just moved back east after a bunch of years in Los Angeles. Found a pearl in the last 🦪 I ate.

It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
