in case you need some whimsy before delving into the horrors, two robins woke me up as they're cleaning out my gutters full of leaves and using them to fortify their nests across the yard 🧡

Announcement: every tv show created after 1990 is Twin-Peaks-derivative 🦉

Presenting THE INTERNET WILL DIE, AND SO WILL YOU, out in September from @herebelow.bsky.social, a new imprint doing awesome things. Here's the cover, a lil' excerpt, and the tagline of the press: "Books for the subversive work of being human." herebelowbooks.com/978080288542...

sorry i'm late the live 14-minute version of 'cortez the killer' was on college radio and i'm required by law to listen til the end

oh just talking about lament w/ dearest friends & sent one of them a poem i wrote & she compared it to denise levertov so i will try to accept maybe being in the same orbit as her if you want to be reminded of continual world horrors, here's "Advent 1966" gadflypoetry.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/a...

An app that changes the word "believe" to "suspect" in all your correspondences

@retsoor.bsky.social 🙏

i've given up listening to white male pastors for lent ♾️

a *few* good men? in this economy?

so happy to be required to do this work training goodbye forever "technology is agnostic" "let me teach you about semantics. that may be a foreign term" "you can create what's called a 'template' which means you can use it again" "that white space looks really nice"

turns out if you pin seams first they actually look even and you don't have to rip them out four different times #knitteringexceptmakeitcrochetseam #timetofrog

You can pre-order now. Save it on goodreads (give it five stars 😉). Let us know if you want an advanced copy. Cover reveal coming. Pre-orders help the most. And, most importantly, this is my third book with Kathy and Algonquin. Almost a decade of books! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/gabri...

still have all the heart colors firmly in freq 1-7, followed by prayer hands and Colbert @retsoor.bsky.social

when you assume suffering creates art because you're only attracted to art that expresses suffering

#MEN listen to your leader xoxo from my own Brain Thunder session #Colbert @colbertlateshow.bsky.social m.youtube.com/watch?v=PDkW...

also #dreamt was in my childhood home but current neighbors dogs who bark at the essence of air were there. they ran into my basement and ate all my laundry (oh how i miss having a basement) my brain is broken send help

dreamt: @retsoor.bsky.social started a new band named VHS Cassette which i immediately deemed a far superior name to "tv on the radio" & he was going to tour w REM reunion (!) and my sister stole my phone so i couldn't find tour dates & she made me eat a lot of gum & recite the jokes on the wrappers

i'm giving up "giv- ing up listening to Ell- iott Smith" for Lent #lament #haiku

i have given up giving things up for Lent a- men i've given up

There is a light that never goes out...the sun! #cheeringupTheSmiths

why can't i ever meet people i really like at places i hang out all the time, like my room?

if it was god's plan to make this winter feel like we're all living inside that Counting Crows song "A Long December" well done sir

anyway i miss my friends and i miss my musicians and life is fragile and tell everyone you love them all of the time and three friends' babies were borned this month and i met two of them this week and they are perfect sublime joy-beings of holy light

not to mention my subconsc lower self-worth? dreamt: a friend asked what snack food describes me best & i said "an unpopped popcorn kernel" wtf @ my brain is broken dot net

the amount of books i've read about grief - easily in the hundreds, yet no one has ever so starkly and helpfully described what it's like to feel this devastation at such a young age death kills the innocence of youth

my niece wrote that in an elegiac song and i can't stop crying as my deep griefs are lining up to be lightened

life is fragile wish we'd learn before we let go and notice every day a little more the soft steady beating of their hearts I wish my apathy could die in place of you death kills the innocence of youth

honk if you heard a song nobody wrote

must the evil one steal all his ideas from "Stephen Colbert"? finding this has also reignited my ire toward whomever evil deleted the TCR archives

was there ever a more perfect description of & meditation on having a panic attack m.youtube.com/watch?v=lOPU...

going to my first ever writing retreat tomorrow & i don't know anyone & which obscure band tees should i wear all weekend to foment conversation w no one

yes i woke up legitimately upset bc in my anxiety dream i'd just worked my first 10 hour shift as a baggage handler at O'Hare & as reward i was promised a special job tmrw: backstage w Green Day to...help them prep for their flight?! i also couldn't remember my phone number. my brain is broken

mostly i should keep avoiding seeing family members because they would despise my new tattoos [except for my über-cool niece who gave me the idea for this newest one] ⚓️🌸💜 #makeyourself
