This was a great to watch, @joycecaroloates.bsky.social . I have always loved Night Driving. Maybe in your next poetry reading you could read Burning Oak, November.

This is your regular reminder that there is no research showing that active shooter drills save lives--and there is a wealth of research showing that they traumatize kids and staff.

I just received our school's heads-up and form for opting out our kids. If yours doesn't do the same, ask for it.

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”

Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social · 5d

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.

Nationalize all Golf Courses

That way, when government shuts down, so does golf. You'll never see another shutdown again.

Since 2020, disabled people have been pointing out the rising ease with ableist rhetoric/language, the comfort with which so many people used the r word, the number of people willing to abandon disabled people for some notion of the "normal."
All of it mattered/matters to understand fascism today.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Substack posting: poetry reading with theme of "time travel--poems about Elvis Presley, 20-year-old Mike Tyson, being attacked by a platoon of bees, & catteral verse (catteral = a classier form of doggerel).

reminiscent of Kubrick re-imagining genre in his own idiosyncratic style. here, frenetic pacing of a Marvel movie mixed with a near-domestic-realism core story of father-daughter relations. something of Tarantino in the audacious bank robbery scene but fortunately not a Tarantino ending.

as "The Brutalist" echoed much of Paul Thomas Anderson's work, notably "The Master," so "One Battle at a Time" echoes with many startling influences & scarcely seemed recognizable as a film by Anderson. (did anyone else think this?)

of myriad elements in "One Battle After Another" it is the sound track that demands our attention immediately before the first images materialize for us to see.
& throughout, imaginative, unpredictable & inspired music which would constitute some sort of weird autonomous art-work of its own.
