you can make it pretty far in life by just not being an annoying dickhead. which is why it's strange that so many people seem to be dickheadmaxxing

I’m a man! And I was hoping we could fcking bury the entire masculinity narrative, like, forever? Please?

There are two wolves inside you — one works on the docks, but he’s on strike; the other works the diner all day and brings home the pay for love. They’re holding on, and you better feed them both because they’re nice. It’s the right thing to do.

Two persimmons on a tree looking a little sad.

spurned by owl, sad persimmons 😭🦉

Like an orange tomato

Filled with smooshed up gummi bears

“To hold #various views simultaneously, multivalently, to #entertain internal contradiction, is to make a persimmon of identity.”

— This, the minister said, announcing a persimmon bridgehead into the new age, and a new wage structure for sin.

#vss365 - #trickery #investiture

I. Astringent; puckered lips and grimacing, underdone persimmon’s trick, fruit simony— sweet office bought.

II. Trickery is in the naming of things, in the conferring of an office, the investiture of your ripe persimmon bishopric, money changing sticky hands.

Imagine being such a raging a**hole that atheists worldwide now flock to defend the Roman friggin’ Catholic Church and the pope. We live in ridiculous times, friends…

Off to the Cursed Earth with ya!

#Seafoam green hospital walls, like the finish on a surf guitar, all walk don’t run, whammy bar dive, barf, guts are rolling breakers; there’s Neptune and his mermaids with their wavy hair floating in the IV bag, waving tridents, following the current down into the abyss of your veins.

Thanks 😊

Tea leaves weren’t meant to be #read by just anyone: #unless possessed of authenticity, a deep well of feeling for the terraces of Darjeeling which scaled the green mountainsides, intuition came not steeped but skewed — either acrid or stewed.

A hammer dulcimer is certainly a zither, though the opposite isn’t true; and even the hammers themselves are in question, more resembling little spoons — either way, the day is radiant in Washington Square Park, the tune endless and laughing.

“Yo dawg! I heard you like blockades so…”

😁🖖 Say nothing of it, friend, just prosper!

Jeez, I have no idea mate, I was basically just making a sophomoric handjob joke! 😂

Is anybody very confident that the Dems running the same-old-same-old will dramatically alter the conditions that led to Trump and the MAGAs? I’m not.

And someday in the midst of time
When they ask me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine

#vss365 - #ink

India ink in a bottle on the writing desk for inscribing permanence; Indian rubber beside, effacing graphite, letting us forget a year of lies; Indian summer beyond the sill, shaking hands with St. Martin until the next killing frost arrives.

Hobbies are awesome. I've started screaming at the sun.

Not even remotely a Pirates fan, but PNC, just a work of art, gorgeous place

The statue of Adam Smith in Edinburgh wearing a jaunty traffic cone.

The Invisible Hand of old Adam Smith — filching the money back to the rich — it’s just economics, dear, I hear Adam say — the Hand might give you a job — or else take it away.

Black and white; lily pads and reeds on a pond at dusk.
