The Saddest Fuckers of All — Ghost Parachute

I am needing a prescription for the Pill. I can no longer use Student Health due to living in a new town and not being a student anymore. I am telling this to the kid as he is rolling out pizza dough ...

Just finished a writing workshop with @kathyfish.bsky.social. Brilliant fun, and I generated two new micro drafts that are worth revising to finish. All in 90 minutes. Check out Kathy's workshops when they next come up. You'll have fun, and do some writing. See you there!

Men claim women talk too much, but boy if you get that man on a panel, he will over talk every woman present in the room.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

"Musical chairs and spherical stairs—up up up I go into lullabies and stories of cattails and bells, bedside lamps and picture books where legendary lions and mythical beasts play on seesaws and merry-go-rounds, humming in my head childhood daze of blankets and spoons." How beautiful. 💙
