Matthew Stillman

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful king
Whose wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command is ‘bout what I’m here to sing
Now Ozy was a kinda big works guy
The mighty looked round and despaired
If not for shattered visage we couldn’t stop and stare
…
Here on Ozys Isle!

It’s almost as if… how would you say it? hmmm… it’s like they WANT them infected, amiright?

Also in jiu jitsu, activating the third wrist spot (this is not a joke, truly) is called “oil checking”. So if I need to oil check Joe Rogan for bro-science I’m here for it

I’ll get Flint Dibble to get me on. Joe LURVES Flint.

I’m my own sponsor on my own podcast so I’m ready to up level to Rogan level. I also did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so I feel like me and Joe are destined. Get me on the group chat!!

If your perineum was more tanned the pressure points in your wrist-anus (that’s the wrist you were forgetting) are easy to spot and palpate. I have a discount code for my butthole tanning supplements cc @jonathanjarry.bsky.social

Remote 4-Week Intensive: Matthew Stillman: Committed To Heart, Committed To Memory - Poets House 10/7-10/28: Learn the art of poetry memorization with Matthew Stillman!

@hels.bsky.social loved your Bong review. Must go! I used to be an exec at Food Network 25+ years ago & I loved finding places like that to tell stories about. Also trading in our Makenna connection…wanted to share an online thing I’m doing on Tuesday nights in October poetshouse.org/event/commit...

Remote 4-Week Intensive: Matthew Stillman: Committed To Heart, Committed To Memory - Poets House 10/7-10/28: Learn the art of poetry memorization with Matthew Stillman!

If you’ve ever wondered if taking up the dusty (but vitally human) skill of being in relations with poems was possible or for you …come on down all the Tuesday evenings in October to my course “Committed To Headt, Committed To Memory” with Poets House poetshouse.org/event/commit...

I’m here for the mouth to mouth resuscitation of the drowned ceremony of innocence

@aestallings.bsky.social professor, I sent an email message to you through your website. Is that the best place to contact or is BlueSky better? Good luck on the big zoom meeting and glad the earthquake was minor!

I (sadly) have to get brain MRIs regularly. They don’t bother me though they aren’t really soothing but I get what you are saying. For me it’s the galladium contrast that they pump into me. That part…no thank you. Fingers crossed for good information and outcomes for you

Radical Mindfulness: Why Transforming Fear of Death is Politically Vital This is not your typical book club. Beginning September 14th, the Rowe Center will host a weekly online gathering to explore Radical Mindfulness by author James K. Rowe. In 90 minute sessions, we will...

Are you a book nerd looking for community and wondering how the existential fear of death leads to systems of oppression?

Small world! She’s the goofballiest!

Oh you got to meet Makenna and Chris! They are old friends and joys in my life. Pray the jaunt was worthy

“The use of ignorance to establish oneself as a greater authority than the expert” is something I’ve seen as a problem for a long time, but I’ve never seen it expressed as well as it is in this essay.

Brava for all of this. Rewilding (great thing to do w domesticated spaces, tearing down dams or reintroducing native species) easily slips into the wellness mindset of nature as cure & indigeneity as proximate to nature. As a high functioning disabled person with brain cancer…nature won’t cure this.

I’m still with Shirley Chisholm.

@dangregor.bsky.social old UCB player here. You and I were in classes together at UCB/Magnet. Just got back from Naked Gun. Magnificent. Smart and funny. Too good. Glad your comic capacity is still burning bright.

A penny-farthing for your thoughts

I read that too but the “for now” part didn’t close the door.

You are quite right. I’m recovering from brain surgery (not a joke) and I can have word switches like that sometimes.

My thought is that it is because she would have been elevated as a national voice in contrast to Trump and a de facto “leader of the party” in a way that she isn’t. I have no particular bone to pick with her alone.

Absolutely she would have. And her time has past now

Thank the heavens. Fingers crossed she stays away from presidential politics too

Thank the heavens

Statement from @wgaeast.bsky.social @wgawest.bsky.social

Fact: on July 15, Stephen Colbert called the 60 Minutes settlement a “big fat bribe” to bag the Paramount-Skydance merger.

Fact: on July 17, Paramount canceled the Colbert Show.

We call on NYS AG Letitia James to investigate.

Done! Thanks for your labors on this.
