From the #vss365 jukebox, this is Without You I’m Nothing by Placebo with David Bowie:

I'm unclean, a #libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
You're slipping slowly from my reach

I think so too.

I read The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. It was a very entertaining page-turner. It’s a plot driven book with a bit of commentary about class and families and some well drawn characters (and a few one-dimensional characters). I really liked it. #BookSky

I call upon Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, and Kendrick Lamar to write and organize an all-star protest songs for 2025.

Since I’m in South Africa, I was thinking of Sun City by Artists United Against Apartheid. This was the era of the big all star protest song. So fun to see the diverse artists in this video. I especially loved seeing Joey Ramone. And the Fat Boys! Does anyone remember this?

No matter how many ways you mute the word Trump, he finds a way through. Like any good cinema monster.

I feel like maybe you need a time out to think about what you’ve done here. 😅

the tide escapes the shore
smashing itself on unseen cliffs

creating whirlpools & eddies
mimicking storm clouds

a starfish, cracked & #pulpy
is left behind on the torn rocks

its exposed flesh enveloped
by a blanket of dense seaweed

not to heal inevitable death
but to hide the sad truth of pain
