Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

TEPHRA

loving you feels
like warming my bonechilled fingers,
blanched and numb,
at the mouth of a thundering, chthonic volcano;
everything I need
dialled to one trillion

If I feed a poem to AI for analysis and it misinterprets it, I know I've written something worthwhile.

Guys, please. I'm begging you, just STOP. Enough with the nonsense.

If you're ending your sentence with an emoji, you don't need a full stop too 😩

Wrapped up a 6 week Self Compassion through Artmaking group today, and they had us write for the final session. Haiku ftw in a 15 min pinch.

My mother was a librarian so my childhood was awash with books - a potent protective factor against life’s rains of pains. Myriad books too many to account are seared, branded into my psyche and flashes of luscious illustration and tickles of prose gather like leaves in corners of my (1/8)

While mourning the Pope, thousands of people in Rome went from dead silence to an eruption of cheers when they spotted President Zelenskyy. Ukraine represents bravery, hope and unity in a world under assault by the forces of evil.

thinking about David Farrier's recent webworm post The Men Commenting on Lorde (a group of NZ men so deeply uncomfortable with social media posts celebrating successful women, they infest comment sections with adolescent insults & feeble derision)

they deserve a collective noun so I'm brainstorming

Hereby declaring the collective noun for these men (boy, do I use that term loosely) a Disappointment of Men. Goddamn. It's like they're terrified that if women do well, we'll forget about them. Spoiler: they're already forgettable as fuck.
