April Fool's is a marketing scheme by Big Comedy to sell more laughter. True clowns are buffoons every day of the year.

I missed National Poetry Day yesterday, but to celebrate, here is a poem I wrote about the power of community for the one and only @bruisermag.

Referring to Thursday as "Friday Jr." at work until someone sneaks up behind me and shoots me in the head.

@BurialMagazine Writing for money is fickle. Writing to let your enemies know you have lived another day is the true wealth of the author.

@callousdaoboys new album is so good it's fucking up listening to other music. If you aren't mixing Smooth Jazz with Beatdown then I'm not interested.

We've got another unforgettable New Voices poem. This week: "Compartmentalization" & "11 Years Sober" by Jordan Ranft. Both poems explore mental health, recovery, and the tension between hope & terror. His sharp repetition and emotional volatility make it so we can’t look away.

Who would have guessed an exhibition match between a YouTuber and 58-year-old man would end up being an over-promoted letdown?

Jumping ship over to Bluesky. Would love to follow you there too.

@DanielBaslock What's your handle over there?

Instead of taking action to get the boot off my neck, I have decided to create a political identity structured around the fantasy that, one day, I may be the one wearing the boot.
