I so wish this was still a part of our culture. I've been making mixtapes since actual tapes (memorex!) but the last was in 2014 when I realized no on I was sending them to had physical media players anymore. Full on productions, never to be heard again. bsky.app/profile/jord...

I am still working on Treasure Island, but I've more things in the pile than I have time left. I bring this up and repost the link to this Persona #Poem because I have revised this poem to have more effect and added two other persona poems to form the seed of a new cycle. Watch this space!

Thank you. Real life and the lack of basic income have prevented me from getting as far as I should on it, but I am still hoping to complete all 34 planned Cantos by next year. I've also been editing previous entries and the early drafts here don't do it justice. :) It's a passion project.

I am still haunted by some of the imagery and cinematography. Watch it on the biggest screen you can. It's painted in blues and grays with bursts of fire. It will take your eyes breath away.

If poetry is in your blood, Lothlorien should be in your bookmarks.

Book cover. A young jackdaw on a dark, misty background with red fly agaric mushrooms to the foreground, set against a wintry blue sky with skeletal trees and flying birds. The Haunting of Wounded Birds by Beverley Lee.

The banality of modern life. Having to earn a basic minimum instead of spending our finite time here exploring the heady domain of language and art.

I spent weeks learning CSS and coming up with ways to properly present my poetry in an ebook only to realize that for the largest installed base of readers it literally didn't matter. Most ereaders implement only the base functions needed to put text on the screen. Frustrating.

I fully support your project! Lyrical storytelling needs to make a comeback.

Interested in seeing more of this.

You saved the vase!

This style reminds me of the paintings that were hanging in the house in the 1985 movie House. Or some of Michael Whelan's work.

It must be known for the next cycle that all of certain families such as Bezos, Musk and Trump, hoard fortunes stolen during their murder of the American Republic. Vast fortunes built on contempt, fraud and theft cloak their origins in the mists of time.

Watching Frankenstein last night and simply blown away by this adaptation. del Toro hit it out of the park. What an amazing visual palette! Watch it!

Reversible - D.N. Schmidt β€œThis is going to be bad…” Evie stood at the counter, chewing on a fingernail. Fuddle Potion Shop was about to open and it was sure to be busier than ever.

New fantasy short story:

Working in retail stinks, even if it’s a magic-filled potion shop. An eight-minute read.

Just absolutely spitting on the sacrifice that people were bearing and in the treason accepting the GOPs framing that Democrats were prolonging it.
I am furious, but Neoliberals are going to Neoliberal. I find myself agreeing with accelerationists more and more.

They are really trying to setup the material conditions for complete breakdown of civil order. Going to be a winter of vast discontent.

He was the first that came to mind and is such a strong example.

I'm sure there is a fine line though between characterization and catchphrase.
