Absolve the sin of living in the skin we’re in 05-31-2017

What is your blade? What is your red-hot match head? What mortifies your flesh to alleviate your spirit? What reinforces your humanity in all its profanity?

Last night a DJ saved my life… 01-15-2017

I was thinking about the Ten Albums that Defined Your Teen Years thread that’s going around. I am going to be a sad-ass and admit I don’t have a roster of ten albums. I listened to a lot of different music, depending on my mood. I was, to the largest extent, […]

Dispatches from inside the siege 01-14-2017

You.  You feared that we’d come for your guns.  Did we? I.  I fear that you will come for my books, my words, my thoughts.  Will you? I fear that you will stop my children’s teachers teaching them about geology, geography, biology, history, literature, […]

The treasure of routine 01-12-2017

I rode my bike to work today. Many of you are like, “yeah, so what…you always ride your bike to work,” but the fact of the matter is. I have a job to ride to. It’s very, very, very part time, but. I have eight hours a week where I am being paid for […]

The pop culture vision of senile dementia is the doddering eccentric, who calls her grandkids by the wrong name, makes non-sequitur commentary whenever it’s devastatingly funny to do so, and genially bungles her way through the “golden years.” The reality […]

Interpretative T-Ball 01-30-2016

When we were out walking today, we stopped at our shitty neighborhood park, and for once there were some other kids there playing. They were a bit older than Joseph – two little boys and a girl, aged somewhere in the four to six range. They were trying to play Tee […]

A Cold Deeper Than My Bones 12-28-2015
