From the ever present voices in my head... “You know this country's in heaps of trouble, right?” “It ain’t my country.” “It’s where you live. Where you were born.” “It’s just dirt beneath my feet. You don’t have to walk far to be from somewhere else.” #amwriting 💙✍️

My wife remembers her great Uncle Alfie on this Anzac day. I'll add Aldous Huxley's quote: "That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach".

I shared my golden rules about navigating the creative arts with my son: 1. Money comes in, it doesn’t go out., 2. You don’t need anyone’s help with exposing yourself., 3. Be authentic. It might not work out but you’ll still be you, and there’s nothing better or more valuable than that. 🎭 ✍🏽

I’m clean shaven for the first time in decades and there’s so much space between my upper lip and nose! I’m almost simian. Chimpish. On the plus side, I’ve grown into looking like my grandfather. It’s good to gaze into the mirror and see that he’s still around. #elder 🪶🙌🏾 youtu.be/BBVAS8qNZZI?...

Old school sci-fi horror. Richard Matheson’s “The Shrinking Man”. One of the GOATS of speculative fiction. Matheson sure knew how to make a fantastic idea relatable and thrilling. 💙📚😱🚀 #amreading #horrorstory #scifi #classicfiction #speculativefiction

People are having fun bringing lemon squares and automatic artillery to the anti-trans community meetings. Divorced legislators harangue about pedophile cults… I am more beautiful than you and I would like to be loved. 💙📚✍️ #poetry #poemoftheday www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

I dunno. Lots of folks have lost their jobs. We got no allies anymore. Everything’s more expensive. My neighbor got arrested for a Facebook post, and my cousin’s husband from San Antonio got shipped off to Ecuador. Still, I’m willing to give him a chance. He’s a billionaire, right? #denialism

America has no friends left. What’s next? Rollerball? The Hunger Games? Idiocracy? I’d say Idiocracy is in full swing and Rollerball is right around the corner. Maybe another 100-150 years until the Hunger Games. Sorry, Mockingjays. 🖤🐦‍⬛ #raisedragonslayers

My toaster and I have an understanding. When I get tired of waiting and move on to another task, like feeding the cat or sorting my vitamins, that is when it will release the freshly toasted bread. Mechanical Bastard. 🖤 #thatslife #dailydoh #resistthemachined

That grubby little bill so filled with the crocodile tears of colonizer privilege has been annihilated. Remembering that moment when every cell of my Tsalagi blood was electrified by the defiant haka of my Māori brothers and sisters, “Ka Mate Ka Mate!”. youtu.be/R4F49zMhZn0?...

Traveling to the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave? Better scrub your social media. ICE says one of their duty is to keep ‘the wrong ideas’ from entering the USA! USA! USA! (Hands up… who thinks AI and quantum computers will be used to instantly identify enemies of the state?) #badwickedworld

Now everyone knows what “Trump Unleashed” is. America with no allies but tyrants, civil rights and the rule of law under attack, a crashing economy, and chaos as a loot and scoot policy. Pretty soon, he’ll declare bankruptcy and blame it all on Old Man Biden, Hillary’s emails, and Obama’s tan suit.

When my mother was alive, this was the day I would receive a phone call at precisely 6:05 am to remind me of what a great job she did X number of years ago. Now, I’m thinking about that Beatles song and wondering how I got here. Thinking of you, Mom. Yours sincerely, wasting away. 🖤🎶
