Cousins 50 years apart.

Love this. JJ, me, Shannon, Angel. We lost Eddie a few decades ago but he was there in spirit. Family is fraught. Family is awesome. All love. Hold your dear ones close.

The waves were inconsistent but in the best way. They made space for me to take some photos. And I joined the coffee Zoom of a friend. Yes, I joined a Zoom call from the water. It was nice. Camaraderie is worth seeking out, even digitally, even in the water. Loneliness, disaffection, dislocation, disconnection are everywhere. And we need each other—human connection—more than ever. It’s a time of great misery and injustice and there’s much work to do. Let’s get to it, in kindness.

The Demand of Grief

I will mourn those who I feel grief over. You can’t demand I mourn. You may request basic respect for the dead. You can’t demand I respect a legacy I find invidious. You can’t demand I ignore the words of the dead. If you can demand my feelings and thoughts be “correct,” you are authoritarian.

Etha-Editing

At #IndieWeb HWC yesterday we ran VS Code w/”Live Share” plugin. In a few minutes 5 of us wrote a web page. Surveillance tech is an enshittified anti-labour mess but tools—the means of production—to pamphleteer and agitate and samizdat and protest are in our hands. Websites.

Productively Miscellaneous

My cousin, who I wrote about recently, has been discharged. This is the best and most significant news for my circle lately. I have been listening to CMAT lately. I first started listening when I came across Jamie Oliver Petrol Station and now EURO-COUNTRY is on heavy rotation for me. It apparently has stopped a...

Red vs Blue

There’s a line in Clueless from the character Dan Hedaya plays: “You divorce wives, not children” Well, every situation is different and I’ve not been as good a step as Mel Horowitz was. But I am still filled with good feeling and every best wish for those kids. It was great to see Tony last...

NOMAD

On August 16, I attended Connect + Reflect: A CreativeMornings Mixer and I really enjoyed it. It was co-hosted by Head of Community at CreativeMornings, Exa Kutler and FieldTrips Team Member Lauren Deborah. I am usually on the… obstinate side when it comes to writing prompts. The structure was great. Rather than a single giant...

Mixtape Spruce-Ups

I spruced up my mixtape lists. The earliest dates to 1984. 14 yr old-me who cared a great deal about the levels, taped stuff from the radio and from my uncle’s record collection. I was only chewed out about messing with the tonearm balance once. I’m still making mixes. See them all at artlung dot...

OB this morning I got an early start and it was good. A surfer asked me if he had gotten under the lip of his wave. I told him he had. My new role: “tube ref.”

Was in the water with surfers genuinely supporting each other. It’s most often groups of girls or women that are most positively affirming. Good to be adjacent to that energy today. Onward!

In July my cousin had an accident that landed her in an ICU. Her parents and husband have coordinated family to be present for her 24/7. We are a large enough family that we can do this. I have been present for her for several sessions now. At the beginning, she did not recognize me....

Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, shifted to the context of a lady football (soccer) team? YES. When I heard the premise I was skeptical but the @thequeensmenproductions 100% nailed it at the show today at @trinitytheatrettc ~ so glad @hellokellykuhl and I attended before it closed.

Infinity is one of those math ideas that also has fanciful implications. And since I learned about it some months ago they’ve...
