Just trying to go about my business while fighting the urge to vomit every five minutes at the hypocrisy, double standards, threats, and fascism

oh I also DMed my first D&D game Saturday and it went well! Turns out I like being in charge of things and performing, two things that are rewarded in this activity.

I have been watching a lot of Dimension 20 to relax in the evenings (Cloudward Ho and Fantasy High Sophomore Year)

& lift my eyes & lift my eyes

Genocide studies is forever altered. The concept of national security in US and Israel is basically a Dept of Revenge and Other-Cleansing. People are purged and expelled for where they were born and for their genetics. Not for what they do but for who they are. I will never shut up about this.

i haven’t really had the mental capacity to read for myself or work on personal projects, but i’m hoping that will come

this memoir was an excellent read. will not forget one particular scene about what it feels like to choose your own freedom.

The thing that helped me sleep was reading this. The press release article was especially lovely

my loneliness is killing me
and I must confess, I still believe
when I'm not with you I lose my mind
give me a sign
hit me baby one more time

thank you for reading this abridged version of FIGHT CLUB by Chuck Palahniuk

A person holds a magazine titled “The Rebis” with a bold red cover. The artwork features a surreal illustration of a human figure entwined with a goat, dragon wings, and botanical elements like grapes and leaves. At the bottom, the words “Tarot Creative Writing Art” are printed. The magazine rests on a light gray surface with crystals and a smoky quartz obelisk in the background.

it is truly a magical food

our species' greatest achievement has been figuring out how to keep our young alive, and it's so heartbreaking and infuriating that we're letting them die in Gaza and die in schools and die because we made software programs that help them figure out how to do it

Green poster with a pink squiggle element and the text: READ WRITE EDIT CITE only you can write your ideas

Anyway, I designed this poster for our coworking space today, and added a subtle(ish) anti-AI dig, haha 💙 ✍️

beautiful!

ARCHIVE Closer than to the secret service files am I, I’m sure, to my own memory. Even when it fails completely.

this happened to me once in our co op grocery store parking lot! i think the person accidentally honked

I only watched this because I knewww how it had to end and I’m so glad I did

a wide variety of prairie plants at sunset. the sky is purple, pink and orange. the plants are green, purple, and yellow.

went on a guided walk in remnant prairie at sunset this past week. the guide has been a biology prof for over 30 years. here’s a picture of some prairie plants:

need to be me
and say it

I point this out for clarity. I also have a long-term interest in how my crafting of ideas is sometimes confused for the very serious idea being crafted. So to be clear: AI is political attack on labor with few limited cases for social value and an absolute ecological disaster.

Hanif Abdurraqib Dudes, We Did Not Go Through The Hassle Of Getting These Fake IDs For This Jukebox To Not Have Any Springsteen & and it is the end of another summer where I have slept on my couch for days only allowing another body to interrupt long enough for our limbs to tangle like weeds up the side of a brick house, reaching for something impossible. I promise there have always been dishes spilling out of the sink, love. It’s how I discovered this kind of hunger. Last week, Rick lit a cigarette & yelled across the bar that the only difference between smoking & kissing someone who smokes is the way mouths collide before death sits in your lungs like an abandoned city & everyone laughed while I tried to wipe another’s lip gloss from my cheek. Most people I know cannot sleep until they crawl through someone else’s hollow. There are nights when I wish we were all still children, but then again, I suppose we may be or at least there is no other way to explain how we make every doorway our own. The way we stain ourselves & anything else that moves. The way we scream into the dark like a siren & the weeping, yet another thing we never mention in the morning. I think I am starting to vanish slowly from head to toe. There are ten different ways to say sunset. The bartender says my face is wearing all of them.

only allowing another body to interrupt long enough for
our limbs to tangle like weeds up the side of a brick house,
reaching for something impossible

I have had dreams like this lately too and I am always grateful to wake up and remember that I am free
