a bad side effect of trying to be less online and more present is that you find out about all the mass shootings and murders at once instead of piecemeal

do any of you live in albuquerque or what, i'm reading poems tonight in a cozy place where recently 27 (maybe more) mostly living artists contributed to a living room sized exquisite corpse

I wrote about traveling to the Navajo Nation and helping to distribute 1,800 skateboards, which more or less changed my understanding of what a skateboard is. Also, what the desert is.

A great way to start the week: @kylebeachy.bsky.social on being there, Good Medicine, and the branching paths of 1,800 skateboards on the Navajo Nation. www.simplemagic.ca/being-there/
