mom would have been 80 today, so Eddie and I are going to go see the new predator movie

here's the video recording of me and Cedar reading last week at the poetry project in nyc, with intros by Mirene Arsanios www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r7Z...

why leave an airport?

coming back from cincinnati later tonight and if a million motherfuckers aren't out of nyc by then there's gonna be heck to pay

I am SO happy to be able to share the wonderful cover for DISPATCHES FROM THE AVANT-GARAGE: THE ALTERNATIVE PRESS coming in March from Wayne State UP. The cover has it all—postcards, letterpress, a bison. Beautifully designed, as it happens, by Lindsey Cleworth, who grew up in my/our hometown.

one million people leaving nyc because mamdani gets elected would be terrific for the city

Had I known my ceramic hip setting off the metal detector at LaGuardia meant I’d have to take off my arm sling and wait a good while for a pat down I’d have left my hip in Ridgewood

nah

Saying max muncy and babe ruth are tied with 15 hrs in the post season- without remembering to say ruth hit all of his in World Series games is par for these announcers

Yamamoto no-hits the jays for 12 innings, and then Donnie Baseball gets activated via an obscure Canadian labor law and goes deep in the 13th to break a scoreless tie

I suppose unironically injured isn’t much of a costume

can you start a non-profit and have a board that is just comprised of boards (piece of wood)?

Royal Trux makes me cry

i see no reason why i shouldn't listen to here come the warm jets over and over again for the rest of time, or at least this train ride

Royal Trux makes me cry

heaven -- the one place without narrative

finally figured out how to get muffled grunting continues to sound good

you know that dude just wants to go to heaven to build a hotel and maybe offer the angels a slight discount

fractured my arm so i guess its finally time to read thomas pynchon

I pity the poor vats of grease that hesgeth pours into his hair

at home I switch glasses every drink, but on the road I like the same glass all the time

"When critic Harold Bloom was invited by Lehman to select 'the best of the best' American poems for the series’ 10th anniversary edition, Bloom refused to select any poems from the volume guest-edited by Adrienne Rich."

tmi: ma died without a will, so I went to france to get that worked out & france said call chicago and get yr birth certificate i said i have a copy right here & france said we need a new one so i call chicago and C says 5 weeks by mail but in person one day so I did that today

trump saying that democrats are the party of satan is only accurate in that both satan and the democrats are boring

Al Michaels is the John Dryden of sports announcing

just got a buy back at an airport

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

It was good to wake up and not immediately feel panic for once

‘Tim’ — the Replacements’ first album on a major label and last with their original lineup — was released 40 years ago today 💿

I'm giving a talk this weekend in Toronto. If they let me in.

no amount of words can make me care about this dude

it's not a First Amendment violation if you comply in advance

trivia night hurts me

it's gonna be even crazier when spock gets shot

maybe he got shot by a stranger

on a plane no one can hear you whistle

remember when Joseph Beuys hung out for a week with a coyote in a gallery in a kind of big cage in nyc in the 70s? Maybe we should all have to do that. Not that the coyote community would dig it (who could blame them). But maybe that's the way through. Deep coyote time. No talking about it either.

I'm on this arctic plane flying back to nyc from paris -was dealing with my mom's estate. I went through security & figured I'd get hassled for bringing some of her collages on cardboard back. But no, the security couldn't deal with my sneakers. I kept saying it's my hip, I have an artificial hip...

dad, they didn’t break me

Another good idea: fifteen minutes of “pure nonsense” a day. This and the quotes posted yesterday are all from The Posthuman Dada Guide by Andrei Codrescu (@princetonupress.bsky.social, 2008).

Only took a year, but this book I put out last year finally got a states-side review: www.poetrynw.org/a-scale-that...
