the main reason blacks are not respected in america is our refusal, inability, or inaccessibility to monopolizing white-collar crime. let us sit atop the fbi's most wanted list & be able to buy governors & judges for favorable outcomes THEN we will have finally achieved "the american experience".

Honey, I'm sobbing, yes, literally SOBBING after reading this review of TERRY DACTYL by Trish Bendix in the New York Times Book Review, which engages with the book on so many deep levels, yes, I'm reading it over and over, what a gift, this means everything to me!!!💞💞💞💞💞

hill country is no place for compromised lungs so time to get the fuck outta bowling green... 😑

what light BEYOND yonder window?

Tired of doomscrolling? I gotcha covered! I'm so glad Wave Generators are back, and this one from their latest album has been on repeat for a minute. "Beyond Beyond" is such a banger with a dope Elucid feature. WG are in a lane by themselves and going wild with it. Wrote about this one, take a look.

In October I got notice to move very last minute, made a mutual aid post and it didn't meet the goal. But the need didn't go away. The goal is 245/1000 reposts appreciated. Thanks to everyone boosting and helping so far 🙏🏿 www.paypal.me/DaneBard cash.app/$dbard1 venmo.com/code?user_id...

Time to check out that little independent coffee shop that doesn’t have a drive-thru window. Or make your own, I’m not the boss of you.

dionne brand on catastrophe, acknowledgement, & surviving it.

i have slept and woken up 4 times over the course of the night and each time has been accompanied by a dream in which a bear mauls someone to death in the distance. well, in a dream i just rode a golf cart past some of the folks mauled & i rode past that bear and it began chasing me... ...and

I’ll Be Glad When You Dead… Buck Woods tells German-speaking Nazis what he thinks of them while performing in France. Somehow feels relevant these days. From REUNION IN FRANCE, starring Joan Crawford and John Wayne, released on Christmas, 1942.

was on the road when it arrived, but crystal bought me "fancy" coffee - 12 oz for waaaaay too much... but she said it's black-owned so if it's good then i guess thatll be that - all of my readings & book sales will go towards supporting my blackity black whole bean habit.

well, here im is, bowling green... now what? (well, i know the what (2 readings), but what i dont know is the where, so that might be hella helpful at some point, hunh?)

crystal: $18 for a jar of sorghum?! oh, this is that 'fancy' sorghum... me: what makes it fancy? they hold they pinkies out while harvesting?

meta (fb + ig) banned me for no reason 2 years ago then reinstated me within a month. ig apologized with a "our bad, we dont know why we banned you"; fb never apologized. but thats why im rarely on those apps now. fuck meta. & bsky banning journalists & others is fanning my social media ptsd.

i havent voluntarily rewatched an old 20th century bond flick since 12 foot backyard satellite dishes went out of style, so this would be the perfect time to remake those cheesy 70s & 80s flicks which havent aged well.

it's too early for this shit but here it is... the language of keeping time. youtu.be/TK-8gfqmFNo?...

L's UP!

just followed by a "tech bootstrapper" and i feel like i need to nip this in the bud and block folks before the weed spreads... dev friends, am i overreacting?

I'll be in Louisville this Thursday for work. I know I can Google, but are there any good vegetarian/vegan spots there? What about soul food? Put me on.

moving into my avuncular era

my vertigo is so bad that even when laying in bed with eyes closed and envisioning myself up against the glass, looking out a highrise window down into traffic i still get dizzy, panicked, and recoil in terror...

I'm currently working full time 9-5, doing part time/freelance bits, writing an 80k word book in nine months and parenting a toddler. And the ONE thing that has tipped me over the edge is: yesterday my child wiped his snot onto his hand and then smeared it across mine. Too much. Too far.

i feel like every psychological horror or thriller stars a modern jack torrance look-alike where each male lead is actually auditioning in real time for future roles needing "a young jack nicholson"... "think young jack nicholson" might actually be a genre type 😑.

it's becoming a ritual now, my making of an entire pot of coffee every morning only to drink less than half a cup and yet the pot sits warming on the stove until evening... this is indeed a waste (& at these prices 👀) and yet... im still deeming this an ancestral practice.

finally, a good dream! i havent had very many lately... and not that this was "good" good, but very visually striking. ##dreamjournal #dirtsdream but i was an astronaut in a spherical spaceship flung to the other side of the universe for a purpose i cant remember, but it was "important"
