"My mother does it with my father and they want me to, but I just can't be bothered - curling." www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb0_...

Another great song by @cirithungolband.bsky.social, another great album cover by @michaelwhelan.bsky.social!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyGm...

Apparently Sheridan Fruit Company closed its doors for forever last Friday. They were wonderful. Don't tell me not to be nostalgic. I know when I had it good.

This poem by Howard Nemerov poses a question often asked and answers it by allowing form and imagery to make the case That there is an indistinguishable point when one becomes the other What is clear though is he believes, when defined, poetry flies and prose falls #poetry #poemoftheday

I Like To To Quote Myself I just heard about Nadine. I am in Portland, OR again. In no position to travel; can we write? Can we write in lemon juice and add ironing at the far end? Is it not enough poetry and a pretty heavy ask? Is it too much heat and steam for someones like us? Oh, do tell!

Pluck my heartstrings and it sounds like this:

I see a face in this beer!

@davidseed.bsky.social I think you will like the video more than the song, but I can't decide if/which is better: vimeo.com/72224361?&lo...

The SAVE America Act will SLAY me. I have voted in every election since I was 18, despite a discrepancy with the name on my birth certificate and the name on my ID. Apparently 7th grade civics class hits hard for some (me) and others slept through it, are asleep now, having nightmares I must live.

The muse is like a little wind-up, cymbal clashing monkey on my back. until I have the key to unlock your door promises, promises and nothing much more

I need to get these Child Ballad books again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnfN...

Guess what I was doing about ten minutes ago. No, GUESS!

Do you have a second skin? Truly, I prefer selkies to humans.

LOOK at ALL the HANDS! Thanks @savenfoto.bsky.social and thanks @nolanvoidofficial.bsky.social !

For sure I got a thing for 1971: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xuq_...

Had a strange urge to sing Circle by Edie Brickell. I think this song is rutted in my memory because I haven't sung or heard it in yonks, but it sounded right and I recalled all the lyrics with ease. My throat hurts a bit. Might be smoking complicated. No, it's the song. "La la la la la la la."

Living the American Dream one nightmare at a time.

So, my friend @nolanvoidofficial.bsky.social might like my new acquaintance @misophonicspree.bsky.social, you know, because of Star Trek. Me: Why is Latinum better than platinum? Nolan: It can't be replicated. Me: I was going to say "No pee." www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Spc...

The world is so weirdly wonderful:

Help me convince @jswobob.bsky.social that BlueSky is worth some of his attention. And tell him it's a great place to spew all the bile brought up by The Man Who Killed John Prine: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apu2...

If you see this, post a vampire who isn't Dracula:

I do like to try to wrap my head around some sound. A little sore from working like a jerk, and this may not be helping. Think I made it through the first track. I didn't sleep well last night. I'll try again tonight. Always I gnaw, otherwise how can I be fed?

Sometimes I find it frightening when randos follow me and they've only been here a day and we seemingly have so little in common. No direct posts dampens my interest. Sometimes if I ignore them, they go away. Sometimes if they don't, I give them a second look which usually results in a block.

I especially think @davidseed.bsky.social will find this an interesting factoid: When I lived in Frederick, MD and was taking part time classes at FCC (2014-16), I enrolled and paid for a collagraph class three semesters running - and got a cancellation refund due to lack of enrollment every time.

Having light duty on the job today, I made an entire hat and watched like five episodes of Star Trek Voyager.

Is this spirogyra?

Any time gifts are expected or offered all I seem to want is folk music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=47z5...

I have seen a lot of this artist's work, including life drawing sketches, fantasy pieces, live demonstration of drawing on silk and (lake, sky) photographs, but this is next level:

My knowing about Greenland is directly informed by Rockwell Kent's N by E: www.weslpress.org/978081955292...

Don't get me wrong: I am perplexed, as I assume are most; however, I love the workings of artists' brains.

Knew ossicles from ear anatomy. Looked up crinoid. Shook my head. Looked up ossicles. Ah.

Oh, hey. It's me in my heyday.

Upgrading from iPhone SE to iPhone 16e, I ask myself why I never had children.

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

Friday Pop Quiz: "Red when dead" describes what?

Imagine loving this song for years and then discovering that it has lyrics: cirithungolofficial.bandcamp.com/track/maybe-...

Today I am thinking about Ray Bradbury's short story "I See You Never." I cannot find a decent PDF. If you are living in North America (or anywhere) and are unfamiliar, and have five minutes, I suggest you read it. There are PDFs, I am just not too fond of any of them.

You can get goosebumps through your eyeballs:
