Malcontent. Miscreant. Unruly. Was a dog in past life; loves drawing tree trunks. Graver. Attracted to odd things and the inconsequential. Loves the consequential Patti Smith, Stevie Nicks, Shirley Bassey.

Holy guacamole this is gorgeous and dreamy and just profound. Thank you. Bucket list one day to see your work in person or even your atelier. Deep bow.

The viewer seems to be peering out and hiding behind thick, long green slender blades of grass covering the entire foreground, like a green wall of so many slender shades and shadows, and behind it steam rises in the middle, as if mingling with thick tufts of dark bluish gray clouds, partially hiding a glowing white sky. Cliffs on the side are white and tan speckled with brown patches, barren, save for the top which is a wavy dark green with foliage.

O look, look in the mirror,
O look in your distress;
Life remains a blessing
Although you cannot bless.

Teleportation technology

Tropical snowflakes drifting,
slow on the gravel,
narra to see,
narra to smell,
obits in orbit,
seasons pass.

Green grass and leaves below and on the sides and a large brick apartment in the background. A young woman, followed by two young men, march away from the stage and toward the massed crowd, each one with a hand raised and wearing red - the woman with a crimson cardigan and skirt, in the middle a young man with a long sleeved scarlet double breast pocket shirt with white buttons, and behind him a man with a goatee, red t-shirt and jeans, shades hanging from his collar, just below his chin. They are performing in an event in the Bronx to mark the anniversary of Salvador Allende's martyrdom in September.

@ajfrombrooklyn.bsky.social - this was part of my previous visit. To swim with horseshoe crabs and watch the sun go down in Rehoboth. Dreamy.

Oh that makes me swoon... I'd love to. But I'm not from the US. Last time I was there was Sept last year. Love Delaware! I drive around its towns aimlessly and there's always a surprise waiting to delight me. But I'll likely be denied entry by orange minions and will wait a few years.

Our institutions are not made for this moment, and those in establishment - from the media to business to politics - aren't built for this fight.

If you're counting on them to lead us, then we are already doomed.

The leaders will emerge from the ground and the grassroots.

Most thankful for your patience, your expletives, and your sense of humor. One day ser I hope you can find time to allow an interview about the really important things. For instance, what ice cream flavors do you prefer? What is your barbecue bias? On a hot day is it mint julep or a Negroni?
