A Love Poem
I wanted to write you a love poem
but I woke up and the ground
was still covered in ice, the sky
still a sullen gray
Not again, I thought
I canβt bear another day of this
but then there you were
pouring the coffee
scrambling the eggs
looking so much like
the promise of spring
by Claire Taylor

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.
I donβt think immigrants are our problem in this country.

Google is increasing the cost of my Workspace acct by $2/month saying "The updated subscription pricing reflects the significant added AI value."
I truly hate their AI and have no idea how I would even use it. I can complete my own sentences
Anyone switching to Zoho?

I know I'm bad at the internet, but I also know I just got an enticing marketing email from Bit.ly that said βwe spent 485 hours testing links so you donβt have toβ ... and the one link in the email doesnβt work. Feeling vindicated

From 2011 to 2015, Edward Mullany released a trilogy of books with @pubgen.bsky.social that we return to often. Tiny poems & microfictions both haunting & hilarious. He ended these 3 books with a trio of novellas (The Three Sunrises), a series of fever dream fables not to be missed.
