Bodies are like Tetris--the longer you play the game of being alive, the faster shit keeps happening and the more you have to scurry around doing maintenance trying not to crash.
I liked Easy Mode, dammit.

for a fraction of the cost it takes to run chatGPT we could put a computer terminal in every smoky back alley jazz club, and instead of asking a robot all your questions, you could find out what an aging blues musician thinks about it

Bluesky is now the #2 social app in the US, Canada, and #3 in the UK 🦋
On bsky, ~30% of y'all are posters compared to the 1% main characters on other platforms. Turns out there's more chattiness & connection when you have algorithmic choice 🤭

Please do not use bluesky to only post screenshots and links to the most grotesque, rage-inducing tweets out there.

My heart is not a mirror
To reflect what others will
My heart is not a stone
It cannot be rolled
My heart is not a mat
It cannot be folded away
我心匪鑑 不可以茹
我心匪石 不可轉也
我心匪席 不可卷也
《邶風·柏舟》from Book of Songs (c. 600 BCE)
I like Arthur Waley's translation, so sharing his instead of mine #everynightapoem
