Sleepless night on the recliner with this guy

Gonna be seeing more slop like this IRL, and, yes, I will lament the death of the editorial process every single effin’ time. (Need a sad nerd emoji.)
Small black placard against a gray wall with the words “Suite shop Located by Front desk,” with “suite” spelled S-U-I-T-E and the words “located” and “front” unnecessarily capitalized like it’s the 19th century or some ish.

“O Hell”
Mina Loy
Photo of a poem by Mina Loy, black print on white paper, text reads: O Hell To clear the drifts of spring Of our forebears’ excrements And bury the subconscious archives Under unaffected flowers Indeed— Our person is a covered entrance to infinity Choked with the tatters of tradition Goddesses and Young Gods Caress the sanctity of Adolescence In the shaft of the sun.

baby bean cleanse timeline
Close-up of a brand new tiny green bean in a window, its large leaves in shades of neon yellow to deep green provide a background. You can see about six bitty dots in shadow along the length of the bean, its peas showing through in the sunlight.

I googled, when should I start a 12-day advent calendar, and I’m compelled to remind you to always scroll past your search engine’s AI overview!! You can (& probably should) ignore it completely!!!”*

*except to share how inaccurate, illogical, and ridiculously & frequently wrong it is ofc
Screenshot of a Google AI overview that states with breathtaking inaccuracies, “A 12-day advent calendar should traditionally start on December 20th as it counts down the last 12 days leading up to Christmas on December 25th.”

Some unedited snaps. The little dancing/walking angels remind me of a tag I see around Buffalo of a walking stick figure w/a backpack and a heart-filled thought bubble 💚

Cracks in mud from ice that once was. Like glaciers carving lakes.

the lot at nietzsche’s
An overturned russet-colored arm chair leans against a gray metal guardrail amidst melting snow, in front of a red brick building exterior. One of the building’s windows has been replaced by an exterior-facing old landscape painting in a distressed blue frame hanging portrait style (so sideways to the eye).

we molt illusions like skin, then—raw, red, and new—
spin our grief for stories that were never true
weaving yarns to narrate another cocoon

A photo looking up at a gray sky from the edge of brick wall covered in some climbing vegetation. The photo is oriented so the brick on the left is split vertically from the sky by brownish-red vine and tiny berries.
