Here I was wondering how we were going to unseat Markie and here he goes and joins the admin and makes himself a valid target of prosecution once sanity returns. Truly, give them enough rope...

After 8 years and more money than I care to admit, my nephew is going to clear out two storage pods I left up in Washington, Just small stuff, nothing too big, heavy or disturbing. I left instructions.

We’re going to have to dismantle this centurys satanic mills. We could be building high-speed rail and clean water systems—real public infrastructure. Instead, billions are being sunk into data centers that expand surveillance and concentrate profits among a small circle of beneficiaries. #Collapse

In case you missed it, I posted a new story about vending machines from outer space, and why dangerous alien technology isn’t a good substitute for therapy.

#Poetry #TimeAndMemory I've been thinking a lot lately about distraction vs novelty and how that leads to well known perceptions of time and memory as different. This is still a #WIP. The iron in the mold, to me, feels now like it comes out of nowhere although it arises from the imagery.

One of the wonderful things about having a wretched memory--for a poet--is that you find yourself repeating yourself, but using different language. So after a while the poems work like a long piece of music. At least, that's what I'm saying today! #poetry

Berry turns the language of bureaucracy into something quietly terrifying by asking questions escalating in horror The poem is 60 years old but feels like it could have been written yesterday. By the end there's a feeling you’re not being questioned, you're being measured. #poetry #poemoftheday

In a sane world this testimony would bring down empires. Mr. Schwank does the absolute right thing. And he reveals the systematic and deliberate violations of the Constitution. #AbolishDHS #ProsecuteDHS

Deny the historical pattern all you want, the US is attempting to build a concentration camp system. Private, of course. Out of sight, of course. Machines designed to disappear humans. See how close one is to you. Will the ash drift through your curtains? lookerstudio.google.com/u/0/reportin...

The original Stargate is almost 32 years old. In accordance with ancient tradition I am now seeking an ice floe.

Panama Papers. Paradise Papers. Trump/Epstein Papers. Bear with me here, I think there might be something wrong with the global rich and powerful.

Netflix's Decameron is a fantastic reflection on the failure of a social contract and how individuals act in those circumstances. And it has a rocking soundtrack, like specifically designed to pull in GenX. #Doomer #Collapse

“Humans were not corrupted by capitalism. They created it because they were corrupt in the first place” open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

Tired of journals that ask for poems about your garden and then ghost you? This one wants the bin, the syringe, the protest chant. This one’s built with spit. #PoemsAbout #LiftToTheSky #PoetsOfBluesky #WednesdayWIPs #Poetry #SubmissionWindow

“American politics is in need of a large-scale demolition. Republicans and Democrats are constitutionally illegal organisations: they lobby themselves into power, collude with corporations to abuse Americans, and sponsor violence and genocide across the world” open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

I want to share a thread of articles with everyone on Bluesky. Repost this thread & share it far & wide. Post it on other platforms. Spread the word! Elizabeth Halligan is a "Systems theorist & consciousness researcher" per her Medium profile. Yes, these essays are on Medium but they ARE NOT 1/

TFW you finally finish writing something you think is really good despite being exhausted and burnt out by the Red Queen's Race but since you wrote it for a contest you can't share anything about it for the next 3.25 months. rattle.com/page/chapboo...

Today I wrote about our white supremacist political movement's perverse insistence that "we don't have to apologize for being white anymore." Conservatives have been apologizing, apparently. Did you know? I had no idea. So I asked, and here's what I found. www.the-reframe.com/apologies-fo...

Can I suggest an addon resolution for this year? Buy less. That's it. No specific oligarch to boycott. No real target to hit. Just buy less. Do you need what's in your basket or do you want it? Change your hierarchy of wants. Take a breath. You can jump back on the treadmill at any time. Buy Less.

Submissions are open. Poetry that remembers. That mourns. That refuses to let go. Read the call carefully. Take your time. Send the work that needs to exist. #PoemsAbout #LiftToTheSky #WednesdayWIPs #SpineEdicts #PoetryCommunity #SubmissionWindow #OpenCall #Poetry

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!
