“I asked ChatGPT and—”

ok, i’m going to stop you right there and save us both some time

problem solved

New poem on Substack.

The first line was not inspired by my pfp. Some would just call that good branding.

Anyway, here's Wonderwall.

3 Everyone is barely holding on. We’re all more than a little tired and scared. We can’t dance around these knives much longer.

A man says "there's so much hate in my heart." He picks up a Flying V and says "my only instinct is to write incredibly hostile riffs." Another man comes in and says "I'd like to listen." They both have a wonderful time.

Not gonna lie, it feels really nice to see someone you voted for REPRESENT you. HE SAID WHAT HE SAID.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue arrives to the scene as Green is sulking on the floor, next to a collection of wilting potted plants. Blue looks at Green with concern. Blue: What's wrong? Green: Everything is bad, my plants are dying, my life is falling apart. Blue offers Green a glass of water and a straw. Green drinks, without moving from his place on the floor. Blue: Drink some water. Green: Can't see how that helps, but sure. Blue watches with mild surprise as Green jumps up, suddenly energetic, obliviously knocking over the glass. Green: Hey, I have energy again! I think I'll water my plants! Soon, a caption above the foxes states "minutes later:". The formerly wilted plants are flourishing, and Green looks at them with surprise and delight. Blue, saying nothing, is looking at blue. Green: Blue, look! My plants are ok! They just needed some water and were being dramatic about it!

Thank you Capcom, I don't think anyone I know will be out spending money today. (I don't Monster Hunter, but I am a proud ally to the community)

Literacy is activism.
Reading is a political act.
Books are tools for liberation.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

very stoked for the inevitable undisclosed allergen exposures I'm gonna have.
But, hey, no better time to learn some vegan recipes, y'all.

Only a thin ribbon of human history ever got to juggle a guy in mortal kombat at an arcade with 12 kids behind you yelling OOOH

Differences of Opinion I. He Tells Her He tells her that the earth is flat - He knows the facts, and that is that. In altercations fierce and long She tries her best to prove him wrong. But he has learned to argue well. He calls her arguments unsound And often asks her not to yell. She cannot win. He stands his ground. The planet goes on being round.

Forever relevant in the age of social media. Thank you, Wendy Cope.

TURN HIS TV OFF

It’s so satisfying to write a poem and share it immediately. Unpolished, imperfect, unfettered. Some poems don’t mind the wait, while others prefer not to be left sitting in a submissions queue.

What a week to have special interests that include music, art as protest, and astrology.

Game Over

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Weird how all the people upset by the Kendrick performance are almost all incredibly unsettling guys with a myriad of accusations against them anywayyyyys guess they don’t like rap or something
