I’m seeing Sick Sad Queer in a lot of book hauls from AWP and the Malarkey book club and preorders of The Walls Are Closing In On Us and I’m both nervous and over the moon πŸŒ™

Still bitter that my small town didn’t have a Pizza Hut when I was a kid. I read so many fucking books, you don’t even know. Someone owes me some personal pan pizzas.

Love Poem
I love you enough to overthrow the government.
To wheel out the ole guillotine and let the heads roll.
To give the land back.
To plant seeds in the community garden.
I love you enough to free Palestine.
I love you like a guerilla movement.
Like Molotov cocktails flying at a cop's head.
I love you like a folk song, celebrating the martyrs and praying we live to see the other side of history.

What’s a good place that’s open right now for a 4k word CNF that got way too long and may or may not have a Taco Bell reference in it? πŸ‘€

A cool looking stick. It is pointy on one end and blunt on the other. That plus the coloring makes it look like a dagger.

I finally got someone to give me some medicine to help with the symptoms of whatever this is. Follow up with the doctor in two weeks to potentially (keep your fingers crossed) find out what is causing all this pain.

Siren Song by Janel Comeau I am walking on Hubbards Beach with Maura when she announces that she is going to stay here forever and live as a Siren, the mermaid kind. I ask what happened to her new job, and she laughs. She tells…

β€œmen lashing themselves to masts made from noise-cancelling technology.”
extremely good siren logistics from Janel Comeau

Yeah I have AWPFOMO but I also know that I wouldn’t physically be able to keep up with all the things I would want to do if I went. Wait. That’s worse actually. Damn it.

On day four of a flare up. A flare up of what you may ask. Ask away, I am a medical mystery. Mystery is my middle name.
