It's Me!
A portrait of me as done by Geoffrey Fallon for a podcast project we created that I'd love
to finally edit and put up even though it's very dated now. I'm not a natural video editor. I’m entirely self-taught with whatever free software I can get my hands on. So I'm very, very slow doing something that is already a very slow process. Luckily, I might have some extra free time this summer. Let's see what happens.
Annoying Thought of the Day
Not everything you have in your house needs to give you joy, but it should give you purpose.
Your Weekly Dose of God
Ever ask yourself what someone is like when they're home? I did when I saw a gaggle of Jehovah's Witnesses packing up and heading hom from the Malden Center T stop.

My Friday Evening Music
Bikowski with Akira the Don with Tom Waits. Have a good evening. Looks like Monday's selected piece was also done with Akira The Don. I've corrected it.
Tonight: First Fridays Youth Open Mic with Kapatid Kud
Held at the First Baptist Church on 633 Centre Street in Jamaica Plain. Doors open at 7:00. Click here for more info.
NaPoWriMo Epilogue
National/Global Poetry Writing Month is over. How did I do? Click here and let me know.
It was harder to keep up due to health issues, both mine and other people in my life.
I didn't experiment as much with form. Just no time for it after I caught up.
For the past few years, I feel I learn nothing after this exercise is done.
I might write more about it elsewhere.
Leopards Eating Faces Update!
This week it's Laura Loomer. Lost a court case against the one person who would have slept with her several surgeries. Unfortunately, she's too old and over the hill for him now. She probably wanted the coveted position Ann Coulter had in the early two thousands, but she doesn't even get that. If we're lucky, she'll be most known for her father divulging her sexual history for all the world to wince at.

Take a Drink

Totem Remnant
Almost three years later, the Visitor/Void pole that collected all the sticker badges patients had to wear during the height of COVID-19 has been reduced to only what you see here. It makes me sad. That pole was an odd memorial to that period of time when we were actively trying to stop the spread. Not that I want so see another pole like that in my time. Then again, we don't have that choice, do we? Or maybe we do, and that's the tragedy.
A Moment of Comics
Decided to end National Poetry Month with an example of visual poetry from Charles Schultz's "Peanuts." One of my favorite strips.
American Haiku: Trump Says No No More Anymore

An Early Moment of Comics
Gerry Conway passed away a couple of days ago. I saw his work sporadically in the eighties (a few issues of Firestorm), likely seeing more of his work via television and cinema. I didn't pay much to writers for a long time. The first time I ever noticed his name was in Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #8, where he closed the chapter on Gwen Stacy via a supposed clone.
I See Now
From gig economy dirt farm country to gig economy dirt farm country with a nice ballroom.
At least the future is clearer now.
Recap
A prompt reaction poem by one of Oddball roving poet Russell duPont. It's a busy Tuesday over at Oddball Magazine.
This Week's Most Distinguished Network Name
It's amazing what people will name their online networks. I'm always trying to hijack Wi-Fi when I'm commuting, so I often come across a number of interesting names. Every Tuesday, I post the most impressive and/or cringe-inducing names.
