Mostly poetry and soccer from an antifascist, neurodivergent, genderqueer, Christian heretic perspective. Also practical and impractical uses of language and images in and out of our current context, and an item a day from the published archives.

Ready for #HellIsReal on FS1 so I don’t have to fuss with AppleTV. Getting to listen to the Fox folks call the Union the best team in the league while talking up everybody but. We’re from Phillip, F’ing Philly. #DOOP

Lots of people say that Garfield shouldn’t hate Mondays because he’s a cat and doesn’t have a job and is therefore useless but what people don’t realize is that Garfield’s unspoken lust is to emulate humanity to the point he became bipedal so of course he’d dream of a soul crushing office job

"If they come for trans people, I will not be able to leave. I feel like a plastic mug, I am bound to certain places. My mother says I should not be afraid of the fascists. I ask my father if he still loves me if I cannot work."

RENEGADE (Palindrome)

Named a general,
war began.
Amid, I manage, brawl,

I walk in
to a well-choreographed
crime scene—
dressage of fear,
blood splattered here
& there

until my eyes adjust
& I realise
it's rose petals
everywhere

overcome by
a crimson layer
of lust—
undressing begun
as I move
to the bedroom

my clothes,
more evidence
of misdeeds committed
in the dark.
Indiana and Milan #DOOP in the 70th and 75th. Chicago comes back in the 84th and 93rd (Longshanks with an eyepatch). Ooh Ah is blocked on the first PK. But The Brick Wall blocks one, the crossbar blocks another, and Good Jesus puts home the 4th for the Zolos W. Come on the U.

"There is a darkness that eats sound and swallows the stars. It is other, incomprehensible, to see a glimpse is enough to shatter your mind. Past veils of choice, it waits, and it watches. Your vision passes it by, but it sees you entirely. Ravenous for your life."
