I like our chances.

There wasn't much that was good about high school, but I did enjoy creating a new halftime band with my band director, Bill Boyce, in Canandaigua NY. The Sound is still going, 34 years after we started it. Bill passed away, but his legacy lives on. #Canandaigua

The Boston Red Sox: Based loaded. Nobody out. Can't score a run. Repeat.

Picked up this all-time banger today.

New poem.

I finished @erikahamden.bsky.social's fun book about how weird space is. I also wrote a poem inspired by one of the facts in it. #space #astronomy #poetry

Are you a #prog nerd looking for a long playlist without lyrics? Kind of the odd-meter version of lo-fi beats for chilling? Except not really for chilling? Anyway, here's (not) Wonderwall; it's my Prog Instrumentals playlist: tidal.com/playlist/771...

From my walk to work.

Tonight we launched the new Third Wednesday Poetry Series at @raqc-cville.bsky.social. It was packed! Thanks to everyone who came out. Particular thanks to featured poet Caroline Erickson. See you on Oct. 15, when we'll have an open mic plus a reading by @dirtgod.bsky.social.

I use Tidal as my streaming service. When I try to listen to classical music, the amount of garbage I have to wade through is amazing. Feel like more than any other genre. So many themed collections and so on. Give me the great recordings and new stuff please.

New #profilepic from my friend Kelly, who also designed the previous one. I recently started learning #kungfu.

I'm trans and non-binary but I suddenly want to list mine in case anybody who follows me is also a fan and we can nerd out. So, in no particular order: Three Bean Salad Means Morning News Poetry Off The Shelf Elis James & John Robins A History Of Rock Music In 500 Songs #podcasts #topfive

I sent out the latest issue of my newsletter. If you'd like to read it, here it is: mailchi.mp/4c7f969b2f5f...

James C. Scott on the importance of "anarchist calisthenics."

hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer gonna keep talking about common ground or can we maybe plan on hearings and prosecutions for the entire chain of command that authorized nuking a bunch of random human beings

At least that's how it feels. But I made it through another class and got a tiny bit better. #kungfu #laughingdragon

Sigh.

#RedSox ace stumbles. Team says "we got you." This team is so much fun to watch. (Image via redsox on IG.)

Today a friend gave me a copy of Rod McKuen's 1967 book Listen To The Warm, which I've owned before but never read. She said I remind her of McKuen. I looked up his bio: a depressed bisexual musician and poet. Nope, no resemblance.

Hey what if you read this
