watching more movies from the 2000s and back to undo the brain rot that has caused me to forget what real human faces are supposed to look like before aesthetics shifted to prioritize uniformity, filters, veneers, and facelifts at 40 over real human expression, diverse features, and timeless beauty

"Praise the Broken Promise of America" by Alison Luterman is a well worthy read. Especially now. Hauntingly beautiful.
Praise the Broken Promise of America by Alison Luterman - Rattle: Poetry
Praise deep mineral veins under rich dirt,
and fossilized remains of dinosaurs turning themselves into gas
for our benefit. Praise the exhausted earth,
miles and miles of subsidized corn

Teeth
It was mid-June, and the annual army of spindly Canadian Soldiers had come to clog up the screen windows of every lake-front home. I, too, was frenzied by summer’s arrival. For a week, the sky had …

If you want to see what these right wing extremists believe, here’s an example of a challenge form for my novel Last Night at the Telegraph Club from 2023. This guy Bruce challenges hundreds of books. He says my novel “IS PORN!” and that “DAMAGED SOULS” will result if people read it.
We were able to go back in our records and pull the objection form for Last Night at the Telegraph Club. It was submitted by Bruce using the old form. Unfortunately, we do not have an oversight committee form for any of the objections decided before March 2023 when they formalized that process.
