These three poems by Malachy Moran take us on a journey through surreal landscapes, examining experiences of PTSD, confusion and lost innocence through strong senses of place: acrossthemargin.com/three-poems-... #poems #poetry

Their mission was to drive to Gary, our mission was to talk about it. I threw a curb ball at @mikeshza.bsky.social at the end- what’s another random, one off prequel you’d like to see? I had one with Robby & Abbot from “The Pitt” and Ted & Beard from “Ted Lasso.”

I’m optimistic about the next generation of kids liberated from motonormativity

Motornormativity also messes with people's understanding of life before cars, causing them to believe that every household owned a horse and buggy before they switched to owning automobiles.

I could have talked about “The Pitt” for hours and if anything, it would have given me more time to workshop my impression of Sterling K. Brown’s character from “Paradise” if he was on “The Pitt.”

You know a television show is special when you are on pod discussing it -w/ @ryanoconnell79.bsky.social - urging people to check on their homies and exclaiming that “we are all more alike than we are different.” The Pitt really like that.

This is why we have the internet and well done Eric PH for the recording @dynamicalories.bsky.social

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Defund the military.

Good times talking the practicality of wearing horns on a helmet, ideal armor choices for jousts, Tier 2 music festivals, and all things AKOT7K with @ryanoconnell79.bsky.social #WTTPP

We're living in the timeline when hundreds of millions of years of dead matter was compressed by vast amount of rocks which were pushed by tectonic plates to create this concentration of oil and gas in less than 5% of the global land mass which humans now may burn away in less than 500 years.

The majority of America’s teachers — a whopping 71% — have at least one side job because they’re so underpaid. Meanwhile, the country is about to be launched into a long, drawn-out war that has already cost an estimated $2 billion. Priorities.

Every sentence sounds like it started as a Facebook meme and ended as federal policy.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

This is a proud day as we’ve released the 3rd & final volume of The Perilous Fight. Coincidentally, “Clockwatching” is now in 1,000 collections on Bandcamp. If you had asked me in 2022 whether this little guitar-centric project would lead to this, I would have laughed. Grateful for all the support!

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

Rewatched “Frankenstein” last night & I’m still in awe by how visually amazing the movie is. I’m also still wondering how the monster grew hair, something that I forced @mikeshza.bsky.social to talk about on his Welcome to the Party Pal pod back in December. open.spotify.com/episode/4cij...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Extraordinary how many responses from elected leaders are still so mealy-mouthed and half-assed. This isn't going to stop with reforms or assurances or more oversight. It's abolition, dissolution, prosecution, conviction. May as well get yourself on the record as an early voice.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
