Keep sketching out those flying machines. We'll get there one of these days.

OMG! Art Spiegelman, who created "Maus," is teaming up with Joe Sacco, who created the graphic novels "Palestine" and "Footnotes in Gaza," for a new graphic novel about #Gaza today. If they get it published it will be a cultural earthquake! bleedingcool.com/comics/art-s...

Cats against fascism, Bondi beach, 2018

Today, the value of the land taken from Māori is about $657 billion, while the total the Crown has spent on ALL Treaty settlements is less than $3 billion. Land is survival. Land provides the basis for everything we need.

I get it. You're fucked up. It's okay. I'm fucked up too. We can be fucked up together.

lyrics that don’t quite scan are kind of my kink “Whispered something in your ear It was a perverted thing to say But I said it anyway Made you smile and look away” #Listening #music #MusicSky

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

Read Peter Gizzi's *Fierce Elegy* this morning. Might try to write something – but it would have to be sort of a meta-review. Complicated. For me this book brings up a wave of personal issues, having to do with Providence, the Brown MFA scene, po-biz, the Gizzi brothers, the Waldrops, etc etc

That one moment Eminem was a highly relatable guy. For poets at least #poetry

Just a gorgeous bluegrass rendition of Jack-A-Roe. That mandolin'll do something good to ya. #music #MusicSky #live #LiveMusic #bluegrass #americana #folk #traditional

this book is so, so good

Percy Shelley: I propose a ghost story contest! What is the SCARIEST story concept??? Mary Shelley: a guy creates another guy Byron: I don’t get it Mary Shelley: (*looks directly into the camera)

Romeo and Juliet were just goofy with love on this particular night.

What they don't tell you is that the erotic contains within it an exuberant joy. Romeo and Juliet Act 2, Scene 2 #Shakespeare

Bob Dylan en violiste Scarlet Rivera in 1975. Ze werkten samen voor Dylans album Desire. Op het album staan oa Hurricane, One More Cup of Coffee en Sara. #bobdylan #scarletrivera #nonkelmuziek

Love you all!! Goddam it I'm not crying you are #BobDylan #music #live

Thinking of the grown up game this morning. #poetry

I was thinking about the no children today.

Just a velvety green mystery of a song. Like soft sunlight through the steam of a river. #music #MusicSky #folk #acoustic #guitar

Very fine review of an excellent book of translations

This is everything to me right now. A certain anti-poet turned me on to her, one @kjpgarcia.bsky.social #music #MusicSky #americana #joy

just a small sample but as a Mx, i do enjoy that we share a birth year

Writing love poems is anti-fascist.

Page proofs for SHE'S UNDER HERE have arrived. Gosh, it looks like a book. I'm going to print out two copies, and over the next week my sainted husband will sit with me and read it aloud, taking turns every other section. Tedious but absolutely worth it. And then it will truly be out of my hands.

Felt kissed by god when I heard this. Here's to chasing your dreams. #music #MusicSky #live #LiveMusic

"To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexplicable." - Ludwig van Beethoven

Absolutely.

This is for you crazy birds out there in #BassSky.

Well darlings, this is the poem for tonight. And I hope it’s for you. “The essential delight of the blood drawn from ageless springs Breaking through rocks in worlds before our earth. Never to deny its pleasure in the morning simple light Nor its grave evening demand for love.” #poetry #Spender

A little green nourishment for your heart. This is who Dave Van Ronk was. And he was absolutely wonderful. 💚 #music #MusicSky #LivePerformance #folk #traditional
