My band SCUF put out a song called “Too Much” today. Started writing these lyrics almost a decade ago and they feel truer now than ever, unfortunately. Love, peace, and solidarity. #MentalHealth #RedactTheRich #FreePalestine

My routine on work from home days is coffee, then turn on YouTube videos of David Lynch being interviewed in the basement and turn it up loud enough so I can barely make out what he’s saying from the desk where I’m working. This is my version of transcendental meditation.

Had a dream me and my friend Jim went to this guy’s house and were drinking coffee too late at night from a giant plastic aero press type contraption and I was making everyone watch a Primus video that was going nowhere but I kept saying “oh yeah here comes the part” for like 20 mins

Not creating pages for all my projects. I run a small poetry press called Ursus Americanus Press. For almost ten years we’ve put poems on our digital platform, Landfill, twice a month (aspirational). Today we’ve got two from Brita Sauer.
