I am deep right now helping my NASA teammates write sci-fi-like scenarios, and Rod Sterling keeps trying to dictate my words.

Mt. Etna, my doppelgänger, oh how we rumble at our core until our soul ruptures with melodramatic pyroclastic fashion

I've been writing a series of essays for PBS on men whose style I admire. The latest is about James Baldwin, a man who knew how to sing through clothes.

the biggest crime you can commit in this country is wanting to live a happy life.

Mass layoffs at NASA. Budget cuts coming. And it's only the beginning. It should disturb EVERY sensible person in the US that Elon Musk - the owner of the world's largest private space corp - NASA's second biggest contractor - is inside hacking and slashing. This was unthinkable a few years ago.

“These public servants — many of whom are just starting their careers— represent the future of NASA. Their removal does not reflect their abilities or commitment to advancing U.S. interests in space, only that they chose to join the nation’s space agency within the past year.”

every Drump supporter who has lost their job that is now saying, “i voted for him, but i didn’t think this is what he meant by cutting back government spending.” i don’t know what else you possibly thought he meant. Where did you think your salary came from? God?

i mean i guess firing thousands of IRS employees during tax season makes a lot of sense when you don’t want people to see your taxes

I meet my doppelganger in the confectionery aisle.

Same specs & lisp & woolly hat, but she's my inner wild.

Filling up her pockets with handfuls of pick and mix.

I bet we share a bloodline & she's from the scribbly bit.

Life is thweet, she tells me, when you get away with it.

Moonstruck is a perfect movie.

TS Eliot - the Wasteland

“This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.”

it’s like my rants about romantasy put into intelligible words.

i watched a pbs special on The Gilded Age and i’m sad to report history does repeat itself.

It's me. I'm Gollum.

Ah, done for the week! Brain hurts and my poor broken nerves are misfiring like crazy. Feels like pop-rocks under my skin. Hygge time!

yuuup!

I am in my second week as a NASA contractor, and let me tell you, it is chaos. Also this: gizmodo.com/nasa-ordered...

roadside stands sell
fruit spread; traffic jam
on thoroughfare

#thoroughfare

Raindrops in puddles
Hypnosis inducing scene -
Fixed in fungal form

#fungifriends #haiku #naturephotography #波紋

hey cat!
slow your paws
this hallway ain’t no thoroughfare!

holding space
my friend’s grief
close to my own

I’m not saying that my playlist is the best but… it’s the best 😉
