I feel like this comes from our innate yearning for pattern recognition. When we see something we know we know but can't remember the context? Then we do and the rush? Ohhh baby pattern resolved.

Would be an ecological disaster in ways apparent to me, essentially a layman. Can't imagine what experts would say.

'Sunlight-as-a-service' makes me want to see the end of our species, Christ.

San Francisco became a global cultural capital in the 60s and 70s because a countercultural mutual aid network, but that network was made possible by shoplifting and misusing student loans and defrauding Social Security. You cannot have culture without tolerating some crime!

The fact that the stock market ended green today because all the econ chodes took Trump at face value that the war was basically over is hilarious

Yes! Saw this in a shop in Oakland yesterday and almost got it.

I'd throw my money and labour at this so hard. Need a slush reader? You have my axe.

Refusing to change the time on my watch because my loyalty is to The Darkness, actually.

It is pretty funny to see crypto go up on a volatile trading day, as if cashing out some MSFT for ShitCoinz is getting into something more stable lmao

The most frustrating aspect of US-centric economics is that, like, we could endure -several- sizeable stock market shocks and still have an economy the envy if literally every nation that exists or has ever existed but it's treated like a fundamental crisis of national identity when it tremors.

If my publisher called and said they were sending someone to film a TikTok with me I'd first set my mobile phone on fire, then my house, never to be seen again.

To be fair this probably only sounds fake to non-poets.

Yup. It affects literally everything.

The most off-the-grid prepper dude still has to buy shit made elsewhere sometimes. No one is spared increases like this.

A poet who won the Pulitzer once called me at 2am to ask if I had any drugs.

I lived like 5 states away at the time.

Weekend book haul from Nomadic Bookshop in Oakland. Having a neighborhood shop to support makes me deeply happy.

I vividly remember watching the Iraq/Afgan wars on TV, because even back then I was watching tons of news and politics, especially international stuff.

The footage coming out of Iran is an order of magnitude worse in every way. Apocalyptic. For what? What the fuck are we doing?

IT'S FINE, YOU CAN HAVE IT, I DON'T WANT IT. ONE LESS HOUR TO BE SAD ANYWAY.

As we say in the Midwest: I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire.

IMO, voting for Super Evil or Less Super Evil means not voting is not only an ethically defensible choice, it might be the only ethically defensible one.

Just sent out new work for the first time in a -while-. Nearly forgot how tremendously vulnerable but exciting it is.

Promo collage for the Happy Endings reading series. There’s a potato sprouting, someone dancing in ragged clothes, the rear end of a dog, some glitchy textures, a moist mushroom, a child crawling around, and the cutout block text β€œHappy Endings”. Oh and bones. And fur. It’s all faded together so it has a unified atmospheric look.

I’ll be at the Make-Out Room in San Francisco with Happy Endings this Tuesday, 7:15pm, reading from my forthcoming collection The Wildcraft Drones (out May 21 from @stelliform.press ). The theme is β€œgoing feral” 🌿
