Love a good alt-texter 🤌🏼

This is why you have to watch out for ducks 😬

"There are just too many ways that we are constantly being subject to material violence and degradation that is justified by language.... How dare they. Who do they think they are, gods? I reject it." @sunyungshin.bsky.social in chireviewofbooks.com/2026/07/29/h...

I get through every single day without using so-called "AI." God knows the silicon valley machine makes it hard, inserting fkn buttons everywhere to trick us into clicking them, but I'm getting good at dodging. (Is this a sign of good tech? When users are running from it? 🤔)

Poetry too 🧚🏼‍♀️

Useful! And free! 🤩 "A new website aims to change how Twin Cities audiences find live theater. 79seconds.org is a free performing arts guide that automatically discovers and publishes what's playing across Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding area — without theaters having to lift a finger."

Day 1 @sealeychallenge.bsky.social - I finished sipèstisyon by @mrmack88.bsky.social last night. I've been a huge fan of Mckendy since I first saw him perform a couple years ago. This debut collection from @yesyesbooks.bsky.social is a deeply affecting exploration of his poetry/life. Marvelous ✨

Coming up on Tuesday: we're talking about Black August - what it is, where it came from, what it means for us today, and where we can go from here. Snacks provided!

Got a stack of books! Not sure it's happening this year 😅 But I can do a poem a day, right? Just... slide one open and take a peek? 🫣

I haven't had coffee yet 🫩. Had to bring my car in to replace the catalytic converter and O2 sensor. Which costs about as much as a nice used e-bike 😭. On the bright side, walking back from the mechanic's let me wander through the Powderhorn Art Fair 🤸🏼‍♀️

Oh big things happening, BIG THINGS... y'all ready for it? Well, how about in the morning? I'll tell you then 😉. In the meantime, if anyone sees a catalytic converter running around loose, mine broke free and is roaming. No microchip, I guess, IDK if you can spay car parts but I didn't so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Couples Therapy 🦄 💅🏼

Me, last night: thing I want to do at 10 am! I'll set my alarm for 9, giving me an hour to get up & get ready 💅🏼 Me, 9 am: why tf is this alarm going offffffff OMG I'm tiiiiirrrrredddd but OK, fine, whatever, I WILL GET UP ARRGGGHHH Me, 10:20 am: why didn't I just get out of bed I was so close 😭😭😭

I fell like I'd do a better job being distracted if I didn't have ADHD. Like, I could really lean into it 🤹🏼‍♀️👯🏻‍♀️🧞‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️🦹🏼‍♀️🦸🏼‍♀️👩🏼‍🎤👩🏼‍🎨💁🏼‍♀️

Sealey Challenge and Fringe Festival in the same month is cruel 😅

"Trust yourself. If you are honest and passionate, whatever comes out of you will make sense as a part of your body of work, regardless of media or concept. And if it doesn't, who cares?! Let's stop trying to make sense of everything." www.unitedstatesartists.org/perspectives...

It's done when I have to force myself to stop "tasting" it before I'm stuffed to overflowing 😅

Of *course* I ate it, cost me like seven bucks 😅

We should combine both Dakotas and Wyoming, then give DC and PR statehood. Don't even have to change the stars on the flag ✨️

I'm on this odyssey fr... I think men on dating apps must see the MATCH as the GOAL, because conversations with 98% of them are like pulling teeth from an unanesthetized bison. SAY SOMETHING FFS *shakes vending machine until it tilts over and smashes on the floor, trapping treats inside*

Neat trick: don't look at the list, just randomly do some stuff that's (probably) on it, don't freak out (as much). Maybe something vital isn't done but ffs... *none* of it gets done if I'm collapsed in a quivering pile 🫠 And no living creature's survival depends on me (why I don't have pets 😅)

Very cool, finally managed to write down the List Of Most Incredibly Important Things I Need To Do Right Now (I deferred everything during my show run) and literally had a panic attack. Follow up on two medical things didn't even make the list. I do not feel sustainable 🫩

Electric scooters are not great off-road vehicles, if you were wondering 🙃 Just thought someone out there might need to know that! In unrelated news, my ankle is a little bleedy (which is like "bloody," but less serious-sounding 😅)

Yearly, monthly, or weekly? 😅

Speaking of this, I've been getting smacked in the face by AI flyers, and let me be entirely clear: if you promote an event using "AI" flyers (or graphics, images, videos, ...)? I. Will. Not. Be. There. Calendar's full & life is short: I'm not supporting ways to make it shorter, uglier & worse 🤮

We've always needed poetry 🙋🏼‍♀️

The trend is not good. Not only did *nothing* handle itself 😡, now my lungs hurt. Time to build one of those Corsi-Rosenthal boxes, I guess 🫠
