Hey #Charlottesville! This is going to be fun and you should come along.

In the latest newsletter from @fieldnotesbrand.bsky.social, they included a link to a photo and a @tate.bsky.social essay about Alberto Giacometti. It inspired a poem, which I wrote in my Field Notes notebook. The world is so full of inspiration and I love having a notebook in which to capture it.

Hey #Charlottesville! This is going to be fun and you should come read, or even just listen.

Tonight I was talking with @slrinaldi.bsky.social about how I know two languages, and both are those of brutal colonizers. Time to learn something else.

Keep your friends close, and keep your enemy’s toaster.

Yes! It's the "I could return a serve from Serena Williams" of assassin-based universes.

It's been so long that I can't quite tell if this is screenshot from The Bard's Tale, but when I got it for my Commodore 64 in 1985 or 86 it totally changed what I thought computer games could be.

I cannot believe what's happening with the #RedSox right now. Really hoping this image is inaccurate.
