Oh, internet! Sweet internet! It's been so long, so much has happened, and none of it has been documented. There hasn't been any time for that. But a few things have changed, now. They are- -I just got a 16 thousand dollar settlement from the city of DC from a class action lawsuit from when … Continue reading rememberies, return, freedom, the long tail end of wintertime
water, dreams, cupcakes, the ocean floor
My dreams have been so magnificent lately. Picture this: It is the end of the world. The lowlands are filled with clear water. All you clothing is red. It’s warm, and someone is coming after you. You have to swim. You have to hide. You have to cross narrow trestles that glisten in the moonlight. … Continue reading water, dreams, cupcakes, the ocean floor
The Lake

Last month it smelled like oregano and coffee, but now you smell like chocolate milk chocolate like milk chocolate dust hot chocolate powder eaten by the spoonful dipped in water licked.

Lesbian Professors, I’m reading on Thursday, and other news
For Halloween C and I were middle-aged lesbian professors. We went to the goodwill on Friday. It was crawling with people, and we took the things off the racks that no-one else wanted- flammable, rustly fabrics, bright, contrasting prints, and shoulder pads. On Saturday we put on our outfits, along with blush and some lipstick … Continue reading Lesbian Professors, I’m reading on Thursday, and other news

I took the last of a bottle of vicodin leftover from when I got a tooth pulled in 2008, and then wouldn’t let myself have anymore. Without the vicodin the … Continue reading The next two days
If I were alone in the wilderness and it was 1800, this toof would have killed me.
Saturday Saturday morning I slept late and made breakfast with C and the housemates, eggs and kale from the backyard and corn tortillas and injera, which C and I have started to make. We got teff from the Ethiopian store, we put it in a bowl with some water and let is sit to make … Continue reading If I were alone in the wilderness and it was 1800, this toof would have killed me.
Thursday and Friday
Thursday was a non-day, like a day that didn’t happen. No objects moved through space, the cold sun sat still, no dogs barked. The only things respirating were the trees. On Thursday I was two dimensional. Essays accumulated in that bottomless, timeless place where written words go. I don’t remember what I ate- some kale, … Continue reading Thursday and Friday
Tea tree oil to treat infection in impacted wisdom teeth until a dentist can be seen- a fable
Today was busy, and devoid of nature, and I ate several random, stupid things, and now as I sit at the end of it with my healthy, well-balanced dinner, I have a cautionary tale for you. Allopathic doctors do not have your best interests in mind. They are a product of the pharmaceutical industry and … Continue reading Tea tree oil to treat infection in impacted wisdom teeth until a dentist can be seen- a fable
