Long-toed salamander.

Found our wedding vows!

A few bangers I ran into this week: @amygcb.bsky.social is inventing her own vibe in Child Craft, with Midwestern, surreal, sometimes austere hybrid work. "Tuesdays with Monkey Wards" and "Magic Mirror" both provide some good laughs and a lot to think about.

yesterday's writing prompt (doing one every Sunday all year long)

Big fan of this one on @havehashad.com by Kyla Guimaraes. It has that Neruda-ish exuberance and rhythm, along with a darkness you don't expect from an ode. www.havehashad.com/hadposts/ode...

Char Trek. Brook trout, caught in a stream with a native population in Iowa. Dolly Varden, Kenai River, Alaska. Arctic char, Bristol Bay, Alaska. Lake trout, one of the few non-native species found in Bear Lake, Utah.

There's a sucker (myth) born every minute. These are not trash fish. Suckers are native fishes found across N. America. They are essential parts of the ecosystem. They're cool fishes to pursue. Photo by Joel Sartore, of a largescale sucker I caught for him to photograph (and release).

Local Fisherman, at the water fall. This Black Crowned Night Heron perches, at the side of this small falls, and bides his time. then pounces. Spend an hour and you can see how successful his day is! #blackcrownednightheron #heron #birds #wildlifephotography #photography

Think carefully before buying a Greenland shark for the holidays. They are, after all, the world’s longest-living vertebrate.

A small section of my outdoor book collection, a lifelong passion. Tales of the chase, the more obscure, the better.

@havehashad.com's piece from yesterday is kind of stuck in my head now. So quick and vivid and precise that it makes you slow down. "10/10" by @katherinechiemi.com: www.havehashad.com/hadposts/10-10

When someone dies, we go searching for poetry. But I want elegies while I’m still alive... I want ballads, I want ugly, grating sounds, I want repetition, I want white space... and even center-aligned italicized poems that rhyme, and most of all — feelings. —Jenny Zhang

Now that the gar puns are showing up in my feed, there is nothing left for Twitter to offer me.

HOWS YOUR BOOK GOING?! HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED WRITING SOMETHING PEOPLE READ? Good luck in the trenches out there today. And remember, all you have to do is self publish a bestseller that becomes a movie and write the newspaper about it

I have poems in two new issues of Lit Shark Magazine! "Elegy for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch" (in The Shark Week Edition) is one of my favorite poems of mine--a weird, dizzy piece about a weird, dizzy place and situation. "Driving Home Late" (in The Spooky Teeth Edition) will hopefully

Bugs? Bugs. Polyphemus Moth found on campus when I lived in Louisiana 🦋

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

It never fails to amaze me that putting a piece of writing - poem, screenplay, anything - away for a month makes you six times the writer.
