fitzgerald shows me a secret
collection of whitman’s work —
a squat cloth bound 5-ring binder
not unlike a betty crocker cookbook.
a poem on one of the yellowed leaves,
“instruction to a fly”:
if i do it,
notice which girl it was.
really? whitman??

meeting a newish friend for coffee this morning,
& i’m anxious about it —
overthinking, essentially:
what are we doing
who is supposed to show up
what are we meant to talk about
why
jeez. nbd, just
be yourself.
(like that’s a thing i know how to do;
like we lack data on how that turns out)

just the sort of helpful information you’d expect a fascist state apparatus to disseminate. ugh
i deeply look forward to putting the brakes on this particular asshattery with the ballot initiative.

Nikki Barnes @NikkiBarnesFLFlorida AHCA is a public, taxpayer funded health administration agency that is now openly spreading political propaganda to undermine an upcoming ballot initiative on behalf of Governor High Heels. Democrats in Florida are pushing back on the lies.07:56 AM - May 03, 2024

many good mille bornes memories…
learned it in 5th grade
later played a great 1-player version that only ran on a 256-color mac
ended up living down the hall from the guy who wrote it
pre-teen kid would play it (via emulator) in my kitchen for hours
or we’d play with her great grandmother’s set

amplify chaos.
normalize forceful suppression.
make me long for a strong hand to quell my incessant anxiety.
or at least a gasbag who cosplays one & delights in brutality.
“kerosene around; find the teevee”
^^ just riffing here

Professor Kyle @blackcatproseIf you turn on the news, these protests seem to be the only thing happening in the country. Another shiny distraction for the GOP & the press to make Biden's tenure look chaotic...anything to turn attention from the booming economy & steady improvement of people's lives – except in GOP run states.10:52 AM - May 02, 2024

He named it keroselain from the Greek words κηρός (wax) and λάδι (oil)
He died in 1864 in Halifax.

your basic sex jealousy murder story, it sure looks like.
“just don’t tell them you’re coming” texts the also indicted driver, in evidence.
and the poor kids who maybe didn’t realize their auto detailing side hustle made them accomplices after the fact
so, what have we learned?
all news is local!

i should say something.
tl;dr : i’m passing through a dark time.
i’ll almost certainly get through it.
there’s nothing you need to do.
but these things seem to go better when i tell on myself, even a little.
before i just go inexplicably silent
or keep spouting vague oblique malaise…

remember wind
is just the resolution of an untenable
pressure differential
heading for 90
all the models agree
but the morning is still working it out
loitering at the edge of the shadowy
places, the sun squeezes the cool air
out & across my pores —
the galvanic response of it,
while it lasts

good morning, y’all.
the convention, when your vessel is adrift
miles from land but your radio still powered:
suggest urgently to everyone
within electromagnetic earshot
that it is the first of may:
mayday, mayday,
come, please
dance around this pole
we are circling
— why?
jk, mes amis. je sais.

occurred to me today to wonder:
somewhere deep in the kremlin
is there a product roadmap /
feature release timeline
for this whole Project 2025 &c package?
violent suppression of keffiyeh unrest / antisemitism fault lines = intermediate milestone
is 5GW that predictable?
idk, but
got me thinking

Jessica (she/her) @justjukkaToday is Military Brats Day.
Feel free to watch your favorite “films based on the army”, but please – PLEASE – don’t dress up in “military-like outfits”. We don’t appreciate the cosplay.
