Life has sidelined my momentum in writing and submitting, but here's a poem processed out of another unfinished work of mine:

As much as I really want to go to the HSA Conference this year, I don't think it's in the cards for me, which is a shame since it's relatively close to me (on the same coastline at least). I might be able to swing the Seabeck Conference again this year though, so we'll see. 🤞

Many thanks to @stonecorpse.com for publishing my latest chapbook, ...!botApa̲r̲t̲ It is a reaction and a sublimation of the rise of dreamslop, as it gets mulched into another form of literature outside of the purview of AI, one of abstraction and chaos. Come join in the absurdity!

The House GOP voted on a budget framework that will take money from the social safety net and give it all to billionaires. Do you get it now? This is a class war. They've declared the middle and working class the enemy. They are Russia and we are Ukraine.
