New to Bluesky.

Most of my posts will be pro Emily Dickinson and anti Trump Crime Family — and some miscellaneous other stuff in between.

If you support the convicted felon/rapist — stay away. I have no interest in interacting with you at all. You will be blocked — and forever dead to me.

Did you know that in May 1866, a circus parade passed by Emily Dickinson’s house?

She wrote about in a letter to a friend.

That’s the focus of my daily dose of Dickinson today:

Friday, August 15, I tasted life.  It was a vast morsel.  I visited American Celebration on Parade in Quicksburg, Virginia. Hmm…you might be thinking, “what the hell is he talking about?”...

We've adopted a kitten from the SPCA (Society of Poetic Cats of America). Her name is Emily -- and yes -- she writes poetry. Are you too deeply occupied to say if her Verse is alive?

I was walking up our driveway yesterday, and saw this deer “hiding” behind a tree.

Well, she wasn’t really hiding; she was just standing there.

I walked by slowly and quietly, and she didn’t flinch — but she kept her eye on me! 😂

My post today is certainly a cautionary tale about AI, and I suspect that you’ll find all of this as astonishing as I do.

It all begins with a poem by Hart Crane called “To Emily Dickinson,” here:

I got a little snarky today, but not in a bitter and cynical way. No, I’m talking a more light-hearted, whimsical snark, more rascally than irascible; more puckish than prickly.

When you check out of a hotel & see the bill, they show you the room rate — & then a list of all the other state/city fees & taxes.

If I were a retailer, in response to Trump’s tariffs, I’d list the cost of items (as normal) on the receipt, followed by the additional amount as “Trump Tax.”
