If you’re on the Hill tonight go listen to my pal Dj Night Knocks spin some wonder space to feel into. Trust me, it’s a good way to be out.

but seriously...who are those robot dudes in the clouds!?!

from the archives and still true.

Nice to wake in the city sometimes. Especially when your gracious pals provide for you a wonderful dinner, vulnerable conversation, and a bed for a couple nights. And oh, yeah, their view!!!

Read me not talking about the song at hand.

Tomorrow I open in @marchxness.bsky.social. I wrote an essay to accompany Nick Cave's, Nobody's Baby Now, in which I never mention the song’s title, or Nick Cave. I do mention The Bad Plus, & Glenn Gould, & Jimmy Giuffre, & Ke$ha. But I don’t mention Cave. Vote your sad-heart-conscience on Tuesday.

If you’re gonna be at the #AWP, early bird reading the first night. I’d love to see you irl.

imagine being on the comms team. He tiny thumbs this shit into "truth" social all the time, but I don't think he types these letters out and just imagine having to retain his b0nkers! Headline Caps styles and all whatever gook is in his BRAIN...be the worst job.

Here’s my annual ritual. Love to talk about any of them.

It’s been fun seeing which of my chums is buying and reading my bit. #p4e #prepositions4elijah

My niece has been my truest joy for me to be able to be close to being something like a parent and certainly is more family than family…and for it to be her that gets to first see the book and send me the evidence…what a joy for me. I haven’t even seen one yet.

There’s nothing Choose Your Own Adventure intentionally structured into @themountaingoats.bsky.social vulnerable big offering, but every fan’s gonna make some choices about how to go through it. Started my own morning ritual of reading a few days first then going back and listening to those days.

last year was definitely a down year and this year was packed with highlights for me, but...as a data story, I like this year's effort and outcome.

coming soon. pre-orders beginning next week. what a time its been.

Saddened to learn of the passing of Alex Kuo. A talented teacher, kind man, gifted writer. I’ve always cherished our week of being roommates, proper dinners and a door wide open to all literature can accomplish. I’m sure he’s doing well but may wish he stuck around for the Mariners season. RIP

gonna be hard to scrape this one out of the Topeka capitol building...

Dreaming.

High and Dry

Morning ferry fog

Fast ferry fog.

@benningtonwriting.bsky.social

I made it. A couple days early so I can sleep off the travel. I can’t believe this dream of @benningtonwriting.bsky.social is coming true.
