I am positive the new surge of Covid is in Missouri as the somewhat conservative Mercy doctor + hospital system is placing signs on doors that you may not enter if you had Covid within 10 days and encouraging folks to wear a mask. Although my doctor did not wear a mask this week, the staff did.

Sure! Free street music getting greater reach than expected 😅

Checking it out on bandcamp, pretty neat

Oh goodness those beaks!

We Have Enough Dead Friends BY LENA OLEANDERSON Come over. The doors are open, my flat's a mess and so is my heart but the doors are always open. Come over. I will make soup, probably from frozen but the important thing is we will both eat. You don't have to be dying, but if you are, or you feel like you are, or if living's been hard, call me, and I will show up It doesn't have to be that bad. it doesn't have to be bad at all, but if it is, please call. Do you want me to do the groceries? Do you want me to mop the floors? Do you need to be held; you don't have to be dying to be held. If you want me to be there, I want to. I'm on the bathroom floor again, and breathing is hard and eating's been hard, and sleeping the world is a laden thing rolling around on my chest lately. Just being alive is heavy tonight, but we have enough dead friends. Come over.

Saw this on a light pole two minutes ago.

Got a #BandcampFriday suggestion to share for once:

On Promising Young Women (and the Nameless Men Who Get in Their Way) “The woman is a footnote in the man’s history.” –Rebecca Hazelton * There’s this photo of Lana Clarkson that I think about often. She’s outside, backed by a blue sky, the green and brown spotted hi…

My essay is up at @literaryhub.bsky.social about the late, great Lana Clarkson and other promising young women whose lives have been derailed or destroyed by men. It’s also about my childhood sexual abuse and how I have tried, and failed, to reckon with it.

Entirely possible Corey has been hanging out with me too much, now thinks all women are *really* into bugs.

"helpmate" freaks me out so bad 😩 what if we both helped, eh mate?

Damn. Looks like Canada is on fire again. 😩

UGH

I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just… said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.

I would argue ...maybe you don't? 😅

“an unidentified woman with red dreadlocks" snuck into an empty N train at the Broadway station in Astoria and drove it for one stop at four thirty in the morning, presumably just for the sheer joy of it, before vanishing, and I would just like to say congratulations

The original book is somehow a little dry and still pretty wild. I just revisited the audio version and it helped me appreciate how they used the source material for the new show.

The Tornado-Ravaged Neighborhoods St. Louis Left Behind A nightmare combination of historic redlining, disinvestment, government inefficacy, and an act of God has become a double disaster for the city’s most vulnerable residents.

A drive through North St. Louis shows two kinds of damage: gorgeous, old brick buildings boarded up long ago, and homes toppled in a tornado they weren't even warned about.

For weeks, people stayed in tents at the front of their properties, waiting for help.

Easily one of the worst things I've seen on the internet today. and considering what else is out there lately, well. 😮‍💨
