Question: Is water actually wet or does it make things wet?

[Tyler Gillespie @TylerMTG]

@joetherocketman I'm thinking about it bc so many people will say "like water is wet" to mean they aren't surprised by something lol

I made a mini doc about my time at the Great Florida Bigfoot Conference. It gives —as many reels do—big “Victor Takes a Trip” from Rules of Attraction (2002)

[Jason Katz @jaylandia_]

I went to the Great Florida Bigfoot Conference and wrote about it for @parisreview The piece is full of conspiracy theory ideation, paranormal activity, rubbery chicken, and Ocala, Florida shit. I'm really really excited to share it. Read and enjoy 👽

This poem is a shuffleboard, a form I invented based on Florida’s history with the game. The form’s three stanzas represent the court’s triangle, and each stanza consists of seven lines with a syllable pattern of 10, 8, 8, 7, 7, 10, and 10 to match the scoring areas.

Honored SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival asked me to write a poem for MURALS in MIND. "Doing My Best to Artistically Describe this Impending Shade of Blue" is inspired by a mural by Rhys Meatyard.
