New post up on Medium, it's not my usual style way more prose-ish free verse. But it would be boring if I did the same thing every time. Even if it would be better marketing.

So I write for sanity and emotional release and human connection and all that good stuff. And I’m hoping that by the time I retire that my writing will be earning enough money that it is self sustainable. I’m not asking for it to be a living, I’m asking it to not be an active money sink.

Huh, sitting in a cafe outside of a train station in Austria and Nick Cave Where The Wild Roses Grow is not at all what the rest of the day has lead me to expect

North America grossly underrates cold cuts on fresh buttered bread for breakfast. Especially in regards to how difficult it is for a hotel buffet to fuck up.
Unlike eggs. Hotel buffet eggs are, nine times out of ten, an abomination.

I need a new audiobook, any suggestions? (know I am an avid listener of them and there are strong odds that I've already consumed the obvious choices)

@aptshadow.bsky.social I just got caught up on your pod cast, great fun! But, muffin… Alan Moore (who’s writing I do adore) isn’t an introductory level anything, what are you doing to that nice lady?!?

Poems about bad relationships feel cheap because they are so easy and there are already so many…
But they are also extremely relatable and easy to write because of the heavy impact such relationships leave.
So long as it’s not the only thing I write I’m allowed a few per year right?

As many of you know I am an avid consumer of SF audiobooks. I have collected an array of spectacular pronunciations of “Lagrange Point” that brings me surprising amounts of joy.
I may have to start collecting pronunciations of “Oort cloud”. The current book I’m listening to keeps using “Oh-art”

I haven’t been able to write much lately. I don’t know if it’s the world being a tire fire or Day Job (tm) being one… either way a lot of metaphorical rubber in the air lately.

I submitted a poem to a contest. Bit of a long shot, if only by the numbers. They got 3-4K entries last year.
But now I have to wait til November before I know if I can do anything with it, and it’s a really fun piece!

I hate arthritis.
I hate prednisone.
But it works. It will give me headaches and make me constantly hangry, but the swelling will go down and I should be able to open round door knobs before lunch again.
But I still hate it.

Many things in my life start off as fairly simple but not easy, and then as I get into the weeds of it they transform into easy but not even remotely simple.
Not everything, but many.
What I’m wondering is how closely this maps to the old Dunning-Krueger :)
