Ooo I made cinnamon syrup and I can have fresh brewed cinnamon coffee in bed while I read Janet Flanner.

After hours and hours and hours of negotiations Gaia Jane has agreed to get out of bed

Record of the Day: I’ve been accused of being deliberately obscure sometimes, but I promise you there’s nothing deliberate about my tastes. I just want to hear everything and post whatever moves me. #AbdouElOmari #RecordOfTheDay #VinylCommunity #MusicSky #VinylSky #VinylRecords #JazzSky

May you get the day this video deserves

It’s 2011. We’re in Canada. And it’s snowing. Let’s go

I needed this.

They got ya spot on!

Ah well son of a gun I’m right smack dab in the middle of the indie literary circle, no surprise there I guess

"The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out."

Yes so earlier for #BlackHistory month I mentioned resident genius Tongo Eisen-Martin. And I think you all should check him out in person. #poetry

A line feels right because you’re satisfying the future. #poetry

This man IS rhythm in every possible way. WOW!

Good for what ails you. #FredAstaire #DrumSky

THE WRONG PEOPLE ARE RUNNING EVERYTHING & I’M LOSING MY MIND

Detroit historian uncovers ‘mind-blowing’ Underground Railroad secrets #bhm

You guys, I will watch the halftime show as soon as I get home. I promise.

I’m from the PNW, among other places. I did not even know the Seahawks were in the Superbowl. But I did sort of instinctively wear all blue and green today.

At the park without a handkerchief, sniffing. My whole childhood they never gave me anything to blow my nose with. And this is just how I dealt with it

Never been more proud of UMad. Not mad at all.

😓 “I have been here too long.” 💔

A favorite!

A poem for your Monday ~ Danusha Laméris Night Bird —Hear me: sometimes thunder is just thunder. The dog barking is only a dog./My nephew used to see a therapist who mentioned that, at play, he sank a toy ship and tried to save the captain. Not, he said, that we want to read anything into that.

The reason I keep talking about G🍓za is that it affects the quality of life on Earth. It affects what it means for ICE agents to be killing people here. It affects the value of the life of a child.

Executed (alas!) on this day in 1587, Mary Queen of Scots. Here just seven years old and already a queen at the court of France. Drawn by Clouet.

Fred Smith has died. I got to see Television in concert once. They were extraordinary.

I’ll keep the locomotive on schedule and share a word about the brilliant and esteemed Tongo Eisen-Martin. His innovative poetic forms draw heavily on the traditions of jazz and American improvisation. In person he defies logic gravity and every other possible restriction. #poetry #BlackCreators

Gonna continue this train and talk about another black creator that means a lot to me. Dwayne McDuffie. One of the founders of Milestone comics which was the first comic book universe that featured black and POC characters and of course Static Shock. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_...

Word of the Day to Alina and Jean.

They are violating the law to hold children for a month or more. Please spread the word.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

My aunt, may she rest in peace, loved hollyhocks. She used to say, “Hollyhocks love beer.” And would dump it out the window to share it with them. #flowers #beloved

Oakland, California. Late 1960s. #BlackHistory

Something I feel very strongly.

Threaded symmetry. Patient lines catch fragile life. Sunlight slips away. #BlueSkyArtShow #Sunlight #Photography

also yesterday i got my contrib copy of the new disability poetics anthology EVERY PLACE ON THE MAP IS DISABLED. it’s available now from northwestern university press: nupress.northwestern.edu/978081014973...

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

“I was . . . very lonesome, living with my grandmother. Then it was that books began to happen to me, and I began to believe in nothing but books and the wonderful world in books—where if people suffered they suffered in beautiful language, not in monosyllables as we did in Kansas." Langston Hughes

“Desire is a latent activity and in that it resembles writing: it is desired as it is written, always." Marguerite Duras

“These crocs are amazing” she says to no one. I’m not wearing them out though, I have some dignity and self respect
