This palindrome poem was for a graduate of mine who loved writing poetry. They wanted me to write a type of poem they'd never seen before.

First time diving into @writingbattle.bsky.social and, while I didn't make it out of the House rounds, I was only 1 win short. Pretty proud of my little nanofiction!

I enjoy finding quiet places to do some writing, like the courtyard garden of a hotel that I'm not staying at.

I've really thought about it but I keep coming back to the same conclusion: #PinkPonyClub is pound-for-pound the best song that has been written in the last decade. Unapologetic, uplifting, and feels like an anthem that is welcoming everyone to be whoever they want to be. It's Hope distilled.

Was told by a kid that I look like I should be in the Dropkick Murphys. That might be the coolest compliment I've ever received.

Hey, not sure if you've been doing this, but this is a friendly reminder to call your representatives to demand action against the current administration's quest for authoritarianism. Even if you know they won't listen, become annoying as hell and waste their and their staff's time. Wear'em down.

John Cena using 25 years of knowing what fans will do at every given moment in order to make them look dumb and easily manipulated is probably my favorite thing happening in wrestling right now. #TheFansAreTheHeels #wwe #johncena

Sometimes things aren't so bad. Evening walks while listening to podcasts and a stop in a park to read a book are rad.

In order to fix a glitched quest (Simba's quest that gets you the Dreamlight tree), I had to time travel a week. Now I'm punished until I reach that actual day because the game won't advance until we pass it. Can't harvest herbs, no wood spawns, the day doesn't move on for anyone. Sucks. #dreamlight
