I am confident my poetry is better than it was 2 years ago. But I still find paying $20 to gamble on a contest is a tough pill to swallow.

I adore satire! It has the ability to make chaos digestible, horror palatable, torture tactile, and life bearable.

This administration is now actively going to war without congressional approval to topple a 2nd regime with assistance from a genocidal country. Can't wait for history to paint us what we are.

Book of Extraction: Poems with Teeth! one of our first books, and most loved. Adrian's lament for this teeth, and the price he's paid to keep them, keeps striking a nerve.

I can't recall what I opened the fridge for but I can recite the 1st verse to Ice Ice Baby and Nightmare On My Street like it was 1994. I'm not proud of my accomplishments.

It’s over a 100 years after the great Jewish crusader for free speech, Emma Goldman, was deported from USA for her speaking out. Yet history repeats itself. People shouldn’t be deported for speaking out. People shouldn’t be deported for speaking out. We mustn’t stay silent.

With NASA, not only did the American ppl buy innovations like GPS, ballpoint pens, batteries, water filters, it also spent money to ensure zero civilian interruption or harm. SpaceX gives no fucks beyond profits

Heritage has a DOGE survey Liberals should definitely not fill out the way they would fill out. Do not go and use a fake name and a bogus email address to hide your identity. That would ruin the survey results & be such a shame if the results were skewed

My inner Joker is seeping through. At this point I legitimately want them to just take everything from everyone. Just do it. Stop playing these silly games and do what they want to do! Maybe then we'll do more than roll over and lube our backsides up for them.
