Adiós, 2025.

The relief in the voices of medical professionals when they first meet you and find out you have received vaccines and believe in vaccines.

I forgot about the Folger Shakespeare Library. I can go there to write and do research! No pens allowed in the reading room (as was the case at the National Library of Spain, where I did research for my PhD). I can have pencil and paper and my computer.

I wrote short story at some point in early 2025 then lost the manuscript upon moving to Maryland. Just found it.

Me: Now I will watch Stranger Things, a television program I have enjoyed for years Me, 10 seconds later: Help no stop police stop this no please

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

So I watched Wake up Dead Man and now I really want to watch another star-studded ripping yarn with tons of closeups of Josh O'Connor's cute face. Is that a genre or

Both of my cats enjoy belly scratches and tolerate me handling their paws. This is wild luck. I was meant to be with these furs and rub their tummies.

Mouth hurts where tooth used to be

I had a molar removed on Monday. First tooth I've had extracted since my wisdom teeth 40 years ago. I do not recommend it. The procedure was fine, but the recovery is not great. Rinsing my mouth out with warm, salty water feels pretty good, however.

Man. Walk with the angels, Joe.

Guess who has access to decent mental health services now? In rural/semirural Indiana, such services simply do not exist. #Maryland

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen Bob Dylan (x approximately 8) John Prine Maurizio Pollini with the Chicago Symphony The Kronos Quartet with Don Walser Frankie Goes to Hollywood

And yet, when he went to write poetry, he stuck his finger dirctly into the fucking socket that carries all of the magic of all of the stars and the music and the shimmering particles everywhere.

Like you cannot even think about Bob Dylan and then think about this other dumb fucking world, you can’t hold both in your head

I love Bob Dylan so much, he is the antidote to everything dumb about culture, like the Kardashians exist? No they don’t because listen to “When I Paint My Masterpiece” ChatGPT wrote a novel? No it didn’t because I married Isis on the 5th day of May

A real man doesn't spend his day hunched over a computer. A real man should be outdoors, staggering about and saying "Hey! who turned out da lights!?" because he got his head trapped in a bucket again

I don't even know what everyone is talking about and I'm glad.

An eternal fox. A fox for all mankind, in any age. The GOAT fox.
