I turned my face away from the dark void; It left it's mark, and then abandoned its brand, leaving behind a trail of carcasses in its wake: a Whale, a Bird; the many that had built a home there; Now, only a lifeless X stands where it had been; I decided, at last, that I should search for a blue sky.

Monday AM thoughts: —“Let It Whip” by The Dazz Band is peak Funk/Soul/Fun —Accountability is often uncomfortable —Fear of Death is normal; fear of not leaving a legacy is pride —Action matters —Sleep matters —Choosing matters —Hope matters —My Blackness isn’t up to your perception —I have to pee

Because I really needed an earthquake in my hood tonight…

Thank you, Dolly.

This was a fun “after dark” chat with @noahjnelson.com Briana and @troyheard.bsky.social . I seriously enjoyed Prom Night ‘99 and all of the incredible works that Majestic Repertory Theatre does—VEGAS is seriously lucky to have Troy and the MRT!

@seantcollins.com SEAN COLLINS!!!

Las Vegas' Majestic Repertory Theatre has crafted a delightful immersive night that takes the audience back to Senior Prom at the end of the millennium. Our own @noahjnelson.com reviews what the adults all tell us is the best night of our lives: 'Prom Night '99.'

Semi-random thoughts on a Wednesday afternoon: -Cruise ships are an odd bubble of food, music, lounging and romance -Grief comes in waves, when you least expect. It’s best if you embrace it as it comes. It’s a gift -Erasure is fantastic work music to have fun doing the 9-5 grind -Love is a verb

My mom died a month ago today. At some point, I’ll have witty words again. (Maybe) But hey, I can listen to the Broadway Cast recording of Beetlejuice again without bawling now, so that’s something.

The request follows the head of the USPS warning lawmakers that it will run out of money in less than a year.

“When the world is on fire, all we can do is be the rain, so eventually, we become the flood.” —Lynae Vanee

I don’t think I (or anyone else) was built to be living through the simultaneous Fall of Empire, the grip of an Authoritarian Regime, the whispers of both World and Civil War, the Rise of Monstrous AI—AND still having to work and pay bills, and manage life as “normal.” Straw Hats Friends everywhere

Who’s here that’s read The Expanse and accompanying novellas? I sometimes fear that we are at the start of The Churn.

Precedented times I clearly asked for *PRECEDENTED* times…

Brown…I’m so sorry yall.

Thank you city of Pasadena for scaring the shit out of us NOT IN PASADENA. Didn’t we do this before? You don’t need to test your he emergency alert system COUNTY WIDE

Damn it @erictrueheart.bsky.social , I’m thinking about Supertramp now…thanks, man. “I said, now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable…”

I think my playlist is trolling me with a sad little mini-arc: I Crush Everything—Jonathan Coulton The Perils—Old Man Saxon Hasn’t Happened—Old Man Saxon Songs about Loneliness, struggling to survive and grinding. Ugh.

It’s Friday. That’s it. Friday.

Just so we’re clear: that joke was aimed squarely at the President. South Park has been way more incendiary. SNL has been way worse. BTW, 2 young Black men were lynched in MS the other day. Gaza. Russia attacked Poland. Greenland has been arming against possible US invasion. I’m tired y’all.

The Navel Academy what what?? I mean, Murica…I know you ain’t ok but are you OK? WTF?!?

Slow news day…

Chicago!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Connie, Malcom, Ozzie, that one former white hat wrestler that turned into a heel and then turned into an actual heel and Chuck. Damn.

Matt & Trey DGAF. Wooooow

Writers, poets—most of us out here—use them..we speak in them…em dashes and ellipsis. You know, some of us read a book or 500 growing up.

Yup. I’ve hit Mon Mothma levels of crashing out. Niamos! (Chandrilla Mix) on repeat until I melt. youtu.be/WxLBOwdTKjI?...

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu…. I was lead to believe that I’d feel fine at the end of the world as we know it. I absolutely don’t feel fine.

Just realized another (though minor) reason to be pissed with this admin—with everything going on, I’d managed to lose track OF THE STANLEY CUP FINALS. My freaking favorite team is in do or die at GAME SIX and I lost track. Damn it. GO EDMONTON!!!

Be careful out there yall. For realz. Love you all…I like most of you, some not half as much as I could…but I love you all.

We are so cooked.

No words.

Have we gotten to the 2nd verse yet? The chorus?

So…Iran…Ananda…Brian Wilson…ICE will be at FIFA in FL…Phineas & Ferb return, and Pulp has a new album out for the 1st time in 25 years. My news feed is wild yall.

*loudly sighs*

They’re at the home depot off Alondra Blvd on the border of Compton and paramount
