WAYTA, 9-27-26

 


Beautiful Chaos

My poems "There's Options" and "In Plain Sight" appear in The Chaos Section Poetry Project's latest anthology, Uprooted. Thanks to Editor Nick Allison and Rachel Armes-McLaughlin for including me in another one of their publications reflecting the current times.


Curious

I'm curious about this new graffiti artist I cal Kas. Using the "a" in y our name to make an anarchy symbol isn't original, but I haven't seen anyone use the symbol in a while.


This Week's Friendly Reminder


Yeah, it's cliché to just say "Never Give Up!" but you'd be surprised to know how many people are counting on you to just quit your own life.

 

My Monday Morning Music

The Atomic Wranglers is a band whose members include the artist behind the comic series East Coast It Notes. Here's one of their more popular videos on YouTube to start the week off. More of them later.

More Hits from 2000

Here's a photo of the Church of Euthanasia's Chris Korda with her "Rats Roaches Pigeons People" sign as she further attempted to disrupt the parade for the Biodevastation 2000 protest. A demonstration within a demonstration successful enough that the Church received more press coverage than the people who held the proper "formal" protest. Forgot I had this photo. I'm gathering materials slowly but surely.

 

Happy Birthday, Anthony Opal

Your Weekly Dose of God

A look at the Pride Flag hanging outside the United Parish in Brookline. I hope they brought the flag in before the storm started.
