If anyone who can pick it up would like this drawing in chalk pastel and oil pastel on brown paper, called Darkness Descending and made after the presidential election of 2016, let me know. it's pretty huge, bigger than 4 feet w x 3 1/2 feet high. I can't promise it but wondering who might like it.

Poems are taking their time. It's theirs to take. A poem is not a curling stone that you have to hurry hard. But when it hits the mark, after however long, you'll know it. #poetry #takeyourtime #isnotcurling

When I have to explain what I'm trying to do with a poem, I know I haven't done it. So that means, try again.

Goodbye science goodbye arts Goodbye minds, good by hearts Goodbye museums, goodbye parks Goodbye schools, it's all gone dark. Goodbye water goodbye air Goodbye farmers goodbye heatlthcare Goodbye justice goodbye equality Goodbye peace goodbye democracy.

Pain, suck my teeth. Not even that bad a pain, but persistent and hobbling. Hoping it's nothing ice can't help.

Someone I know who ran into me on the bus asked me to help her write the story of her life. I know she doesn't realize how much time and energy goes into creating a book, because who does except someone who has written a book? I'm sure she has quite a story.. but needs to save my energy for living.

TQ made at #wonder'neath today. If only therapeutic quiet looked this fun.

Bedtime. But metaphorical miles to go before I sleep. Toothbrushing. Pill- taking. Prayers. Physio exercises. Cpap machine prep. And one more thing just added which will remain nameless. It's all a bit much when all I want to do is fall into bed with my clothes on.

Missed #MadPride Day again. I hope my fellow Madlings had a good day yesterday.

The erosion of The Coast: Founders of Halifax’s storied alt weekly have quit, and the new owner is publishing AI slop By @timbousquet.bsky.social

Whenever someone says they'll do something by a certain time and i hear nothing, I worry that I've missed an email. Then I get paranoid. This is happened to me lately a fair bit. It's better if people promise nothing. And truth be told, it's better if I have zero expectations.

This day has disappeared. It was full and now it's gone. But my knees and feet remember... the body is genius.

When I'm stressed... my stress spills out over everything... and I get shrill as a witch monkey...

Tonight in downtown Dartmouth, me and my teeth at a screening of my film and panel discussion. Hope to see some friendly faces there!

Tired with a tiny headache. Not big enough to Tylenol, but not so small i can ignore it. I mean, I could try but it keeps sticking a fork in my eyeball.
