A story from when I was homeless.

I’ve always loved #Peanuts. Now that I’m middle-aged, though, I love it in a different way. Several years back, 3eanuts first introduced me to the depressive nature of the strip. That was the first time I started to relate to it in a deeper way. /1 of 4

Lucy pulled away the football for the first time on November 16, 1952.

Linus's first appearance 19 Sep 1952

30 years to the day since Ken Saro-Wiwa was murdered.

The first Stranglers album is such a gem. tidal.com/album/156300...

WHOA. I guess I know what I'll be thinking about for the rest of the day.

Rather than worrying about primarying Chuck Schumer or any of these other MFs, let's put our energy into organizing at work, at school, on our blocks. Let's put our time into helping existing mutual aid efforts. Or let's form them where they don't exist. Electoral politics is a dead end.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars": ".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Just segued at home from the album Explorations by The Bill Evans Trio to Out Of Step by Minor Threat. That can't have happened all that many times in history.

I haven't had a home altar since I left Tucson in 2020, although I did have a mobile version in my van before I came to Charlottesville. I started working on this one today, using a mic dampening box Stephanie made. I've been moving back toward a regular Buddhist practice and this is part of it.

I want to use as much of each Blackwing 602 as possible, so when they get to the end I saw off the erasers and use them in a stub holder from JetPens #pencil #pencils #woodpencil #writing #stationery

This is a great watch, particularly for drummers, but also for anyone. youtu.be/r8326NogS2A?...

Did you know I put out an album this year? It's #poetry and music with a radical vibe. It's free, but if you pay for it, all the money goes to a water charity in Gaza. fievel42.bandcamp.com

Ask (donate millions) and ye shall receive.

I wish Pink Floyd had kept "the" in their name. It just sounds cooler to me.

I'm editing episode 647 featuring saxophonist Alison Shearer. Members get it today (plus bonus material) and normies get it next week. Become a member at patreon.com/thejazzsession

Dec. 21, 1950: First appearance of the zigzag shirt.

Feb. 17, 1951: Chuck listening to the radio.

Did you know that the French word for "billionaire" is "guillotine"?

Lukewarm take: Depeche Mode's "Blasphemous Rumours" *actually* is the song Alannis's "Ironic" *thinks* it is.

Drop me a line! I've got a radio show and I'd love to give more airtime to folks who normally don't get airtime. #Charlottesville #cville

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!

My son turns 23 on Monday. He used to be smaller.

The #poetry series at @raqc-cville.bsky.social has been so much fun. Here's the upcoming lineup. Each open mic poet gets to read one poem, and the paid featured reader has a 15-minute slot in the middle. If you're interested in being a featured reader, email me at [email protected]. #charlottesville

The 70s were magical. (Me)

I used to write a lot of poerty parodies when I ran a satirical blog. So I know just how tough it is to do. This conflation of two landmark English poems by @regretteruane.bsky.social is absolutely brilliant *doffs cap*

This afternoon's listening: Peel Dream Magazine - Taurus Kelly Moran - Don't Trust Mirrors Pink Floyd - Around The Mystic (bootleg)

Entirely too many people are younger than I am.

First draft of a chart of perceived speed in #sports. Not necessarily how high scoring something is. More like "how fast and constant is this sport?"

Just got caught up on the Great British Bake Off and now watching the Celtics. #multitudes

A new poem. #poetry #charlottesville #blueskypoetry #poetrysky

This is a very charming portrait of an artist who's lived in the same building in NYC for decades: youtu.be/bRy1JCuyUio?...

Have you heard my album? Ten tracks of my poems with music by a bunch of fabulous folks. It's a pay-what-you-want record, starting at $0. All proceeds go to a water charity in Gaza. Get it at fievel42.bandcamp.com. #poetry

This Tiny Desk by Oklou is really gorgeous. Very different arrangements than the record but wonderful in its own way. youtu.be/Jg9uwVvOy0E?...

Being a #DoctorWho fan is trying to get excited that your show appears every couple of years for an indeterminate but small number of episodes then goes away again with no clear sign of what's happening.
