Diane di Prima knew
REVOLUTIONARY LETTER #2 The value of an individual life a credo they taught us to instill fear, and inaction, 'you only live once' a fog in our eyes, we are endless as the sea, not separate, we die a million times a day, we are born a million times, each breath life and death: get up, put on your shoes, get started, someone will finish Tribe an organism, one flesh, breathing joy as the stars breathe destiny down on us, get going, join hands, see to business, thousands of sons will see to it when you fall, you will grow a thousand times in the bellies of your sisters

My partner just came home with the most divorced salt and pepper mills I've ever seen and I think this is his way of telling me he's leaving?!
Stainless steel push button salt and pepper mills that look like telescopes. So divorced. Much ugly

I just found this in my drafts and I have no idea how this joke didn't make it into the final version. What was I thinking?
about writing and climate change, and writing about climate change, and stories and climate change, and creativity and climate change, and culture and climate change, and, well, you get the idea. It’s also about neurodivergence, which annoyingly doesn’t begin with a c and is ruining my general thematic vibe. C-neurodivergence? It’s complex. That’s a DSM-5 joke. I’m not even sorry.

Just did a whole Zoom meeting with a giant yellow lego man head in the background. What do I win?

Found this in my camera roll from when I was trying to explain to someone how not to cut themselves when shaving and I'm unsure if it helped

I have mixed feelings about traffic lights. When they are green, I like them; on red, not so much. And the longer they stay on red, the more annoyed I get. That is if I’m in a car.
