The Cogito poems have always meant a lot to me, put a Cogito Kid character in my own persona poems as homage. Been revisiting Herbert's Collected lately

working on a Gilgamesh translation. Graphic novel + etymological/cuneiform study + typographical experiment + sumi ink painting + poetry + Derrida + circuit diagram + anything else that finds its way in. Here's a new painting for the word "īmuru" meaning "seen", and some spreads

First piece from my novel in flash Baboon Moon is out! This is my favorite writing of mine, wild and unhinged, anarchist and Deleuzian, drenched in tarot and TV. Give it a read!

BULL is such an amazing mag w/ first class fiction like @chelseastickle.bsky.social and @itsaaronjacobs.bsky.social

Me: can you put on your socks?
Toddler: they're not socks, they're peanut butter marshmallows
Me: ok, can you put the peanut butter marshmallows on your feet, we've got to go!

Lol, the things I say these days with mild annoyance while also suppressing a laugh
