I try. I don't have the best voice in the world, but I make an effort to use what I have.

Also, that music playing in the background is from Symphony No. 6 by Beethoven, also known as the "Pastoral Symphony."

An underperformed gem in Beethoven's catalogue

Another poetry read for those who enjoy my dulcet tones

Here's "The Trees" by Philip Larkin (easily one of his less somber, cynical poems)

How's your day going, Funny People?

Happy Easter 🐰🐣🍫 🥚 to all who celebrate

Day 5 of National Poetry Month falls on its first #ShakespeareSunday

Here's the famous soliloquy from The Tragedy of Macbeth

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

Happy Birthday to Dr Maya Angelou (born April 4, 1928)

Day 3 of National Poetry Month

Here's "A Cold Front" by William Carlos Williams

Morning Funny People ☕🙃

This week on Author Fridays: William Carlos Williams

Williams' poems, like "The Red Wheelbarrow," and "This is Just to Say," epitomized the Imagist Movement. He believed how a poem appeared was just as important as what it said or how it sounded.

How bittersweet

This is 33.

Four people with whom I share my birthday: 1. Robert Frost (Four-time Pulitzer Prize Winning Poet) 2. Leonard Nimoy (actor, the original Mr. Spock 🖖 from Star Trek TOS) 3. Martin Short (Comic Actor, Only Murders in the Building) 4. Tennessee Williams (Two-time Pulitzer Prize in Drama Winning Playwright)

This is 33.

I'm lucky to share a birthday with much more interesting people.

That's it. That's the post.

Trying out more of this on-camera stuff.

You know, AI-simps love to say that being anti-AI slop is "ablest." Bullshit. Nothing can stop a human being from creating, not even severe physical disabilities, as you can see in this reel.

Maria Ressa, Journalist, Co-founder of Rappler, and Co-recipient of the 2021 Novel Peace Proze

"When a journalist confronts the powerful, it is easier and safer to write it in a balanced way, but that's a coward's way out. [...] Good journalists lean on the side of evidence, on incontrovertible facts."

Learning to type has been a Godsend to me. I can type just about as fast as I think (granted I still make mistakes).

I like handwriting in cursive, but my right-hand has never been able to keep up with my thoughts. So, when I start writing something, the writing is clear, but it always degrades.

Fuck this writing books bullshit. I am never writing again.

This Week's Tuesday Title: Dust Tracks on a Road by Zora Neal Hurston

In her autobiography, Hurston recounts her life through a prose as rich with lyricism, dialect, tall tale, and metaphor as any of her impressive novels.

Happy Annual Reminder of Your Perpetual Singleness Day to all who celebrate 🥂

As far as I'm aware, tropes serve two purposes.

1) Codified patterns in storytelling, proven to engage readers with a satisfying narrative

2) Marketing shorthand to allow potential readers to know what flavor of story they should expect

Today is the shared birthday of Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln, so it seems like the perfect time to repost this 👇
