I learned a little while ago that the Salem Times-Register printed my recent letter about the courage of the Ukrainian people protecting their homeland. You can find it right here.
Thank you, Editor Shawn Nowlin, for allowing me to share my thoughts with my neighbors in Southwest Virginia.
United Producers. I have never seen “Prison Girls” (no, seriously, I haven’t), but I found this poster online while chatting with a friend last night and now I want it. It is just too kitsch not to collect. Bucket list!
I am absolutely honored today to see The Piker Press publish my poem “school shooter” on the front page of its 20th Anniversary Issue! You can find it right here. There’s even a wonderful accompanying illustration created by artist and author Alexandra Queen. I love it!
As always, I’m grateful to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to share my work at The Piker Press. It’s a terrific online magazine and a truly enjoyable community of readers and writers. 🙂
“Be careful, when fighting muenster, that you yourself do not become the muenster. And stare not into the brie, because the brie also stares into you.”
— Friedrich W. Cheezsche, Beyond Good and Cheezil, 1886
If a group of cows is called a herd, and a group of crows is called a murder, then a group of nerdy reading glasses is called a … syllabus?
A calculus course?
An AV club?
(If anyone gets offended by this, it’s worth noting that these are MY reading glasses. Yeah, I buy ’em in bulk. I’m HARDCORE. ALL MY SONNETS ARE *GHETTO,* YO.)
That is all. That is my advice for today.
Update — just try, if anyone should even touch you on the shoulder, not to FREAK THE #@$% OUT and start speaking in tongues.
