Okay that made my day. Thank you so much @bookgaga.bsky.social 💜💜

(Spirit must have known I needed an extra shove in the right direction. It always comes around through the net of community somehow. The net is wider than you might imagine. 😘)

It’s good to know my works touch people! 🫂

There are many versions of this song, but I think The Fabulous Echoes knocked it out of the park.

"simultaneously mythic and realist".... // "....exploring the portal of his own body through space and time." ❤️
cover photo for the poetry collection, The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife, by upfromsumdirt featuring warm, yellow artwork on a dark blue background with white typography. Simultaneously mythic and realist, this collection is an invitation to sway in a swell of Black love and to stomp in protest against the world’s injustices. The voice in these poems is both intimate and international, welcoming us into his soul and taking us on a sweeping journey through the Black diaspora. In the process, upfromsumdirt demonstrates the complexity of Blackness by examining the portal of his own body through space and time and interrogating its binds.”

Thank you for being so generous with your pics! I think not a lot of people have a life like this anymore - especially in the US where quality of life is on the decline. It’s nice to live vicariously.

It's the anniversary of an absolutely perfect wedding. People say you don't get to enjoy your own wedding. We did.

Fan for life of Tigh Phaidi in Tuar Mhic Éadaigh, Co. Mayo. They made everything easy and beautiful and delicious.

11 LOSERS You learn from losers. You give back their sounds with a little twist and yielding becomes an art. You assume the present and find your needs wherever you are. Your oppressors are never to know they’re in a war. “Yes” is the sound of breath at its easiest. I found a place by a lake one time where I camped for a week. I never spoke, even a whisper. It’s cold up there, and hot, and when the wind goes by it shrieks. At the end it was goodby with only a wave. I was a careful loser headed north, carrying all I would need. If the world had asked me to stay I would have stayed. William Stafford

My cat Winston has to listen to the news a lot, so sometimes he has a face like this.

Greetings from #Kyiv, friends!

lessons at 41 from 40: deleting instagram is the best thing i did for my mental health in years. the second best was tossing all my makeup bc now i don’t have to go to war with myself over whether to wear it (i never really want to anyway).

Paul and I are here for you. And this is exactly how I am when I’m just chilling. And makes me feel so seen and valued and loved. There’s something about Oklahoma it’s like the balance point at the middle of the knife. You become okay with yourself.

@gaiajane.bsky.social offered this poem at the perfect time as I job so many others in preparing for a week devoted to liminality and remembrance. "Grief is a traveling." Indeed, indeed.
