Sad news.
Glad I got to see them at Cruel World Festival in 2024.

The piece I’m working on today is about the Argentinian painter Carlos Alonso who I found out is still alive and thinking about him having to watch his country go through another awful government is another giant bummer.

My current poetry project is around 20th century painters and people in relationships with them
In my research for this project it’s been a real bummer the number of times I run into then there were nazis or something similar and it was not a good time for anyone
Giger didn’t have those problems

Unfortunately I had to work today so I wasn’t able to get out with everyone for No Kings Day.
Fortunately the march route was right in front of my cafe. So impressed with the massive turnout here in Seattle.

So excited for the show tonight!

Too soon

Who says that aging is hard on eyesight, or mental health?!?

Something tells me that a certain villain in chief never read Marcus Aurelius

Fought myself to go to a reading that I thought started at 5 Got to the venue and it doesn’t start until 7
A thing I hate about being a poet is I have to constantly create then I hate that I also have to engage with people, coming in third is I have to remember what time those forced engagements are

Going to spend my day with some Meditations and music. Trying to continue to be a person as everything crumbles.

Sorry dog killer lady, The Cure says no.

After Border Patrol shooting of woman on Southwest Side, agents battle protesters for hours The shooting occurred Saturday in Brighton Park when federal patrols were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, an account that has yet to be verified...

So, they are shooting us now. When are we going to throw these fascist fucks out of power and into the darkest prison cells?!?

I just saw that Homeland Security used a Cure song for one of their disgusting videos. I hope Robert Smith sues the fuck out of them!
Keep your fucking fascist hands off my favorite band!

Living in a fascist country makes watching psycho killer shows lose a bit of the horror. It’s basically a show about the inter workings of the regime’s mind.

I love it when people find out that I write poems and they say to me, “Yeah, you look like a poet.”
Dress for the job you want.

It’s so stupid that the American president declared war on the United States and I still have to go to work everyday to spend my paychecks on rent.

Even though it was a Mormon church that got shot up and lit on fire I’m not holding my breath for my right wing Mormon family to have anything of substance to say about it.

So sick of the ITT Tech style commercials for ICE. Going hoarse screaming at the tv. Just sell me drugs like you’re supposed to!

The tv podium was a nice touch for the reading last night.

Had a great reading this evening.

The new poem I read at the reading tonight was definitely the winner. Everyone asked me which book it was in and I said, “the next one.” Also, several people said that it made them cry so mission accomplished.

Tonight!
