Mad Shepherd
@themadshepherd.bsky.social
Praise be to Crom, the only real god there ever was. I miss my father, even though he was a Trump supporter. I write and draw and make music. No one pays me to do it. Maybe because I suck. But it’s me. Follow for madness while I learn about life stuff.
As we age we get worse
at living dangerously.
Be wise.

I just don’t find Wordle challenging.

Listen, people. I lost a friend yesterday to suicide. I don’t want your sympathies. I want you to call your friends and check on them. I want you to remember that time is short and tomorrow is not promised.

If you need someone, you call them. Now go and be safe.

A murder of crows
A flamboyance of flamingos
A band of coyotes
A tribe of goats
A down of hares
A barren of mules
A parliament of owls
A rhumba of rattlers
A fever of stingrays
A venue of vultures
An unkindness of ravens
A complaint of Karens
A rape of Republicans

Rewatched the Harry Potters. Strange to think half my life has gone by since seeing the first movie. Strange, too, the idea that should I become a wizard, I would cast a spell to make my lower bowels a portkey that leads directly to Trump’s face. Evaccio!

Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Horrible men must go. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Love. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up.

If your goal is to take what you can and force others to live as you believe they should, and not to help those who need it, not to elevate our loved ones, friends, and neighbors through empathy and freedom to collaborate, then you are probably a hateful coward, and your existence is unnecessary.

I had a poison ivy plant in my yard. Every summer, my face, hands, and arms broke out in hives and blisters. I tried to stay away from it, and I tried to ignore it, but it grew. It took over the garden, the fence, the deck. Covered the windows. Then I had enough, and ripped it out by the roots.

“We know of Humans,” the gold lion said, licking his teeth. “Our kin long ago stripped them of their fur. Gave them the illusion of language and banished them from the kingdom wild so they might perish in their confusion.”
“Why?” said Chimp.
“Dude. No one here needs their negative #energy.”

You can find me here
Something like a heart
Made of iron and white cedar
Looking for his Autumn People
Waiting in the October Country
Carving my way through
New England’s precious red gold

Everyday, the ouroboros of personal
progress is always gonna be this:
The old you was then the newer you.
The new you is now the older you.
Find this wisdom in our photographs.

On republicans: remember, they aren’t spineless liars because Trump is their cult leader. Trump was able to become their cult leader because they are spineless liars.

@crobertcargill.bsky.social should team up with Issa López and write a werewolf flick that makes The Howling look like an after school special. It takes place in the 70’s. It takes place in a remote Alaskan town saturated in northern lights. It’ll have snow and blood and reek of isolation and fear.

I find that I am not alone
when I say my dead father’s
trumpet sounds #unearthly
at my lips. Perhaps that is
because the instrument
was for fifty years
his voice.

This is hopefully poetic, and I don’t know if Enoch was even trying.
I’ve been married since I was 19 but sometimes I look at my wife and think “When did you get here? Where did you come from?????” And sometimes I feel like we’ve both been here together a billion years.

He murdered those people, and raped those women, and abused those children, and stole that money, and took those bribes, and took food from their mouths, and lied to us all, but today he rescued the kitten he threw into the tree yesterday. What a guy!

WARNING! You’re caught in the #undertone. Smoke rising over New Haven. Dispatch protectorate; Charlie Units 4 and 7. Dignitaries seen eating their children. The Destroyer of Worlds spotted hobnobbing at the press dinner. WARNING! Listen to Klaxon —their lips are moving. This is not a drill. #vss365

I don’t swim.
I drift. I am
…a lingerer, a fault,
encased in fatty guilt,
abundance of flotsam
from her slaughterhouse,
where she looms kindly over
The Orinoco Basin,
and I dread the honesty
of the #piranha,
I dread their ten thousand tooth stare,
snipping and snipping
until I am revealed.

Going to Trader Joe’s while hungry is a dietary tactical error.

More right wing violence, as this boy ran over and killed two young girls on an Ebike to get revenge for Charlie Kirk, as stated in his own live stream. But where’s the coverage?

My allotment of Bluesky time unfolds thusly:

Fuck those fascists!
Oh, cute dog.
Beautiful art right there!
Congrats on getting published.
Thanks for sharing that poem.
Oh, you liked Alien:Earth too?
Ugh, more writers talking about their chapters…
Oh, cute cat!
Fuck those fascists!
