I've been doing interviews with formerly incarcerated men from Lorton Prison for my Witness Tree documentary & thought I would share this one with Rhozier T. "Roach" Brown, founder of the Inner Voices drama group, on the joys & hardships of making art while doing time. "Freedom Through The Arts" ❤️‍🔥

we always use "the mark of the beast" in terms of a physical mark, but mb the bible was speaking carney

reading condescension

when ppl think a bullshit opinion I have is bullshit, I like to blame it on their lack of reading comprehension. it protects me from ever evaluating my bullshit opinions further.

if I won the lottery, I wouldn't tell nobody but there'd be signs

I'm gonna bootleg these airbrushed IWA Security shirts tbh. They're pretty sick.

great thread of ethnographies here

@dklawhorn.bsky.social is there a good way to contact you? I'm hosting an oral story telling thing in Amherst next month & wanted to loop you in.

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

question for ppl from not Virginia... every stupid governor we have, they get hyped up as "presidential hopeful" way before they should, unnecessarily inflating their clout. is it like this in other states too? I feel like mb it happens here bc of how close to DC it is plus off year elections.

this is an all-time banger 45 at 33... the X-Man's "That Body"

people who say "you need to touch grass" need to touch dandelions

What do you want the bot farms to bring back? I'm going with Y'all So Stupid (today at least)

it is hilarious to me that there's literally discourse about Geese being a marketing campaign bc I texted @soundconspirator.bsky.social a few months ago how I thought they were just a Yakubian trick of some sort

lmao it's funny to look at record store day releases & their "super limited" quantities are way higher than the normal runs for record labels I regulary support

I have disliked Gen X discourse ever since that stupid fuckin title "Generation X" was forced onto me against my will by marketers

(with apologies for stepping into a blacksky prompt) gonna say our neighbor Bridget, who lived in the trailer next to my fam. as my folks started losing their way to personal demons, she filled the gap & looked out for me & my sisters. she actually saved the house from burning down once. I miss her.

What are the top 5 movies that you love to introduce people to? Ikiru Two-Lane Blacktop Cockfighter (a Warren Oates double feature there) Emperor of the North Pole Killer of Sheep

speaking of wrasslin' dorkery, new episode of Pro Wrestling This Week - 40 Years Ago just dropped

if you like those Pro Wrestling This Week (40 Years Ago) clip shows I been making lately, most of that footage most likely came from here. even if it's on youtube otherwise, I bet it came from here (just some asshole slapped a corny ass watermark on it)

breaking my "never repost a bluecheck" rule for this one

with World Cup + end of PL season hype, figured I'd put a call out to any futbol/soccer dorks who might want to join our League of the Doomed weekly pick 'em league. you could join the ranks of illustrious clubs like Hungry Hippos, Sumotori FC, ALsenal, & Atletico Logan Square (among many others)

seeing more links to ppl's substack thoughts about the warehouse fire(s) than links to news articles. anyways, power to people burning unjust shit down.

never heard of that swalwell dude before yesterday, but how can you see any picture of this dude & not automatically know he's a sex pred?

read a poem on Friday night, in a very normal poetry reading way.

I will say of all the social medias (from my experience), bsky is the one that translates the least into IRL interactions. It seems to be an extremely online person form of social media. Anybody got thoughts on that?

At Richmond Poetry Festival all day long. Come feel the magic.

may he wreck into Carter's Mountain (whoever he may be)!

Good to see a gay man growing the DC area swingers beard too. Not as fine tuned as JD Vance or Ted Cruz, but I imagine tastes vary in the elite LGBTQ swingers circles from the standard Christian Nationalist Swingers Club beard.

damn, an algorithm elsewhere reminded me Forgiato Blow still exists, & that nobody has Charlie Kirked him yet

today's morning jam of the day! for those who just learned about the problematic history of Afrika Bambaataa, here's Planet Patrol's "Play At Your Own Risk", which used bunch of the Planet Rock sample leftovers, & is perfect for kitchen linoleum floor sliding & popping

You rarely need to use your bright headlights. Leave that shit on low beams.

good mail day, got a stack of stickers from the homie IMPEACH

On the menu tonight, some mustard greens from @aldonanana.myatproto.social & @danielbachman.bsky.social

sitting in the urgent care waiting room, thinking of the finer things in life

WHERE MY MIND'S AT TODAY!!! Ain't got shit to do tonight so might have to bust out a couple crates & spin for fun. This --> "Mad Izm" by Channel Live always hits just right.

Richmond Poetry Fest is this weekend & I'm setting a table of magical haiku spikes, as well as my books. Just made a new batch of spikes as well. Come thru if you are not a robot and near Richmond. (a single haiku spike stabbed into the heart of a data center kills it forever, fyi)

I can always tell when I'm not feeling well, bc I'll think about the 5 hour full version of Blood In Blood Out locked up in a Disney vault somewhere, & wish that I could watch it

Jelly Roll sounds like he's artificially intelligence generated. Haystak should throw a fireball in his face.

"taco" was always a dumb phrase happily employed by stupid ppl who think they're smart bc they're only comparing themselves to even stupider ppl

about 2x a month I am extremely sad that the clear street view plugin no longer works on google street view

not sure why everyone is so worried. haven't you seen all the Senators tweeting?

I hope somebody is writing "25th Amendment" on some bullets rn

Please, someone, anyone, impress Jodie Foster today

"call your senator" damnn you gringos are all gonna die

why aren't our systemic procedures (which have all been proven faulty by a single entity deciding to go "fuck it, I'll do what I want") not stood up to this single entity deciding to go "fuck it, I'll do what I want"?!?!

I will go a step further and suggest if you are not already actively using the post office, then you need to re-evaluate how you're living. lol send some ppl postcards or something.
