Had it in my mind to get a dirty chai in a coffee shop yesterday. It rung up as $8.50. Decided to get some dinner at home instead.

Friends!! Today I WEAR A TOP HAT WHEN I GO INTO THE FOREST, a micro e-chapbook of collaborative prose poetry I wrote with Dustin Nightingale (@dustinnightingale.bsky.social ) has been released by Ghost City Press!!! It's free or pay whatever you want!

I asked my students to tell me one of their staple foods. This eventually became them telling me one of their favorite foods. One student said "dippy eggs." I said: What's that?!? 💀

It’s officially socially acceptable to cry for the rest of the year.

It's almost declaration season

Was playing Fortnite the other day with folk and said: I really look forward to the supermarket scenes and when folk eat cans of beans in post apocalyptic movies.

Wow! Laurel Review accepted 3 of the collaborative poems Dustin Pearson, Steve Castro, and I wrote: "We End and the World Begins, Where?" "A Change of Occupation" and "Three Deaths near a Body of Water." HUGE thank you to Editor John Gallaher!

Thanks, @splitlipthemag.bsky.social !

My student was awarded honors for his thesis this afternoon. I don’t think he knows this, but he’s the first student I chose to mentor in this capacity. It’s something I intend to remember.
