one of the worst side effects of AI era is how lazy people are. there's not a single Legos recreation of the Charlie Kirk's shooting to be found online yet.

ICHABOD

gotta admit, I had not planned on finding out noted real as fuck singer/songwriter John Moreland dabbles in beat making today

I need better friends

Not to sound too radical or anything but ever since they pulled those several hundred abandoned cars out of the river last year with the big magnets on barges there have been a lot more fish. Like a lot a lot more. Like jumping out of the water and eagles swooping down and grabbing them more.

no diss, but this does not fire up the human spirit. y'all gotta learn how to hype your messaging up. this shit about as hype as a double cup of sleepytime tea (with half a spoonful of local honey).

recap of our Southern Gothicc Futurist haiku slam at Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar last Thursday night. it's a free post, not behind the patreon paywall. (in fact there's a whole ass collection on my patreon called Public Samples... just sign up as free member and bam 44 posts already available to you)

Mahogany - Eric B & Rakim Brooklyn Zoo - ODB I Got It Made - Special Ed but that's just today's answer.

I encourage you to find some joy. Yes, even in rising fascism. You think you're gonna beat that shit with miserableness? Find some fuckin' joy. Throwing a brick feels way lighter when you have some joy in your heart.

Big batch of new crow cam photos went up on my Southern Gothicc Futurist patreon, which I hope you'll consider supporting if you're able. I'm a multimedia chaos artist. www.patreon.com/ravenmack

Went to a wedding and ate turkey necks in this fit

Sergio Tacchini velour tracksuit + matching Air Jordans... these are my dress clothes

Lucky enough to work at the monthly food pantry, which feeds my soul as well bc it's great example of struggling black and white ppl helping each other out (& lol having plenty of joy while doing it). Also feels fitting the marker for Carter G Woodson's birthplace is right out front.

lmao my dad made mixtapes of his favorite outlaw country tracks with a voiceover bc I showed him how to use headphones as a mic thru the mic input. that man wanted to be a dj.

Crazy ass thing for everybody to be quote posting during rising fascism. "Where y'all hoping to be concentrated camped at?" lolol

made a meme specifically for people who work from home now but also used to watch too much BET Uncut back in the day

it's weird to me that "primarying" an incumbent is seen as a diss of some sort. I feel like every candidate should be primaried every election. politics in America is really fucking stupid.

somewhere on this Earth there is someone breeding radish varieties to grow the spiciest radish they can. I would like to meet that person.

one thing I love about a Southern Gothicc Futurist event, is we bring out the freaks. a lovely haiku slam was had.

Went to a poetry open mic in a chill community space, & then went to another poetry open mic in a train yard

this latest fascism is just a distraction from the ongoing fascism

I have a belief than any Hall of Fame, regardless of entity, should only induct one person per year.

In 2018 when we had our first haiku slam at Tea Bazaar, downtown was literally in military lockdown for 1 year after UTR. Tomorrow we do it again w free speech essentially outlawed. So it's a haiku slam, but it's also very much a place to gather & share & say "fuck this".

Tonight we launched the new Third Wednesday Poetry Series at @raqc-cville.bsky.social. It was packed! Thanks to everyone who came out. Particular thanks to featured poet Caroline Erickson. See you on Oct. 15, when we'll have an open mic plus a reading by @dirtgod.bsky.social.

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

Defund the Police was too scary and complicated for people. They should've just gone with Fuck the Police.

a spider built such a beautiful web over the entryway to my shed that I just slid the recycling underneath by the door rather than put it away & fuck up the spider's work. I did tell the spider, "man, I gotta get in and out of here still" though

apparently the Skid Row looking dude in this lynching anthem is from Hanover Co, VA, which just goes to show if you indoctrinate children with radical right wing roadside billboard propaganda their entire life, they grow up to be really fucking stupid

this one is extra weird to me bc you know how many bazillion HUNTING & FISHING - AMERICAN TRADITIONS bumper stickers I've seen in my lifetime spent in rural Virginia? why would you clap for a fake hillbilly in foreman clothes telling ppl not to fish?

I was not raised in the church & have thankfully mostly avoided its indoctrination. but even my limited understanding of the bible makes me seem like a church deacon compared to these asshats. christianity is just decorations for their bigotry.

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

Hey #Charlottesville #poetry heads! Come to @raqc-cville.bsky.social TONIGHT at 7 for an open mic and a reading by Caroline Erickson!

just a reminder, that as far as we know, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still being held in a private ICE facility in Farmville, Virginia

It's really messing with me how they're wasting billions destroying the environment, burdening communities, raising power bills and wrecking information solely to have an autocomplete tell them little half-baked lies they want to hear. Everything to make sure billionaires' feelings don't get hurt.

my bridge burning fingers remain incredibly itchy today

How it started......how it's going

been thinking about The Coup's hook "when we start this revolution, all they'll probably do is snitch" a lot this past week. very thankful I was raised in an outlaw white household where snitching is a sin, bc they seem to be trying to activate the snitch state

good mornin, fam maze (feat. frankie beverly) HAPPY FEELIN'S youtu.be/VfVjdv6ttE8?...

Hillbilly Snoopy committed to skin

WE HAVE 7 PURPLE GAMECOCK TROPHIES TO BE AWARDED! The first shall be earned on Sept 18, 7 pm, at Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar in Charlottesville, VA. It's the return of the Southern Gothicc Futurist haiku slam!

and the return of an old poetry event on Thursday night - Southern Gothicc Futurist Haiku Slam, at Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar. I am in quite the mood this week so expect it to be LIVE AS FUCK

new poetry event jumps off tomorrow evening in Charlottesville - open mic (1 poem per person) w/feature poet Caroline Erickson

redneck racists: charlie kirk is our malcolm x! proper context: the *only* connection that kirk has with malcolm x is the "chickens coming home to roost" part...

the only person I'd trust to do this is @annihilatethisweek.bsky.social

about to start a new dumb wrestling project on my patreon, & one thing I love about my patreon is it is all of me - poetry, pictures of birds, anti fascist essays, slowed cumbia, and over analysis of wrestling. it is the full Trash Cultural Anthropology experience of dirtgod. you get it all lol

I say this bc this app has an issue w/folks expecting others to be perfectly formed politically/culturally. it is actually pretty human to fuck up or do wrong things & learn. but you gotta learn from fucking up, not double down on it. anybody who claims to be perfect is a goddamned liar.

hillbilly Snoopy goes hard
