Stone Gossard shooting flaming arrows out of his elbows on this. Things used to be different around this country and it had nothing to do with being great again. Humility was actually a value. www.youtube.com/watch?v=edZ5...
Operation Epic Asshole is entering its second weekend.
Student asked me today if Susan B. Anthony was racist. Hell yes Susan B. Anthony was racist. I just nodded yes though in class.
If Kaitlan Collins and Karoline Leavitt were members of the Yellowjackets Girls Soccer Team, Kaitlan would kill Karoline with a large pine comb.
Interesting all the Republicans want to bring back Jesus but if he was here they would just bomb him.
If I was a famous visual artist I would submit art to literary magazines all of the time. Feels like when lit mags ask for art they get submissions that look like how I draw people: stick figures, oval faces, wow expressions. zero ears.
I am not a fan of killing other religion's religious leaders, especially if you do not like them. That never works unless you are part of that religion and even then it never works.
Students who like Math and Science more than English class should not enter my English class I can tell you that much.
Surprised Noem did not wear her Baroness outfit from Cobra today when testifying because Noem is Baroness from Cobra.
One year Sugar Ray's "Fly" was played so many times on tv and radio it completely hypnotized the American population for five more years. Some people never recovered.
Tom Tillis is the only Republican male with testicles.
Netanyahu wearing a puffy black jacket on a rooftop is unacceptable.
I wonder if the international monetary system run by global pedophiles has anything to do with what is happening this week in the Middle East?
I think it is interesting how news reports are like a fire has broken out because something exploded. Yep, that is what happens.
Operation Epic Squirrel Nuts
The Erotica Short Story Contest deadline is today. Can somebody win that who does not even write Erotica Short Stories?
Work I wrote but could not publish like 25 years ago is suddenly exactly like work that is getting published right now but I have already written past that stage and I cannot go backwards. I will not stick my head in my oven, but that is how the idea starts. Enjoy it now young writers, quickly.
If anyone ever tells you something is an existential threat, that means it is not a real one.
The U.S. invasion of Grenada was named Urgent Fury. In 1965 we once named an operation Flaming Dart. Operations have been named Green Beam and Blue Beam. Operation Gothic Serpent was pretty dumb. Rhodesia once named an Operation Dingo. Every Operation name is stupid. They are all completely stupid.
I do not enjoy the ending of The Wizard of Oz.
People talking on here about five military deaths reminds me of early days of Covid when people were talking about five people having Covid.
I wish lit mags would just be honest about these AWP events and announce like offsite hallucinogenic reading on clean part of carpet of Room 341 -- Renaissance Harborplace Hotel. Starts at midnight.
Trump's speech today went from briefly thanking service members to talking about personal curtain choices for his ballroom and how much Melania hates the noise of the dirty construction workers who are working like living captives from Ancient Egyptian pyramid times from dawn to midnight.
A warning for all writers headed to Baltimore this week. People who actually live in Baltimore can be irritated but look friendly or look irritated but be friendly and you will never know which one it is at any given time. Just please be careful.
If I had an hour window table signing for a new book at AWP and nobody came to my table during that hour, I would dive into the Grand Canyon. If one person came, I guess that would be okay.
After careful consideration the new leaders of Iran are going to be Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. They will be flying in by helicopter by St. Patrick's Day. Thank you and good night.
When I was a little kid other mothers used to come up to my mother and tell her I reminded them of their sons when they were little. Their sons were killed in Vietnam. That happened at least eight times when I was a kid. At least.
I am just going to play this song for whatever demons I end up having to judge me even if it does not change their minds.
A poem by Jane Kenyon, Collected Poems Depression ... a mote. A little world. Dusty. Dusty. The universe is dust. Who can bear it? Christ comes. The women feed him, bathe his feet with tears, bring spices, find the empty tomb, burst out to tell the men, are not believed. ...

If students could have recorded Robert Lowell teaching class and posted TikTok videos of him sleeping on his desk or talking to a lamp, I would want to see those videos but they would not be good for humanity.
