Control & servitude
forever your submissions,
you only love the wild
as a symbol of something to tame.
So you chattel some like cattle
just to watch the butterflies
wriggling as they emerge
from tightly bound cocoons,
delicate and safe,
manageable, under thumb.

Actually, hope that you are awake now if your reading this.

But if not, there's always coffee.

Yesterday I saw an ad that said radio for sale, $1, volume stuck on full.

I thought, I can't turn that down.

All I was hearing was this. (especially the drum intro hits)
Maybe I had it turned up too loud.

Okay, thanks. Don't know where I got that from, but it doesn't seem to be one of the 7.

Once you find one, maybe you could put wheels on it so no one gets confused.

I, however, am not bothered by stationary stationery boxes.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

The Trump administration has now reversed the layoffs of a lot of federal employees. At the CDC, officials said some staff were mistakenly terminated due to a procedural error.

I used to think it was weird/unfair that ignorance was considered one of the seven deadly sins.

Then I realized there’s a lot of evil that goes on that people just plain ignore, and ignore is at the root of ignorance. As in what we choose not to be aware of.

RFK Jr fired 1000 people from the CDC late last night.

He wiped out entire teams that investigate disease outbreaks, infectious disease responses, data collection, and more.

Yes, this should aIarm you!!!!

I think they said yes, but they didn’t want me to do it/ to do it.

They also seemed upset this was my reaction/ first question, so I don’t think I insisted they prove it.

Austin @notsowidlcat77.bsky.social · 20h

If I remember correctly, they said yes and no.

A fitting and fetching end to a hyper-productive first decade of recording, the two-disc, 24-track ‘To Venus And Back’ was a generous gift to Amos’ loyal legion of devotees.
