My two companions of 15 and 10 years, respectively, are both, over the course of the last month, now in possession of their rainbow tickets, which is an incredibly banal euphemism a la ‘crossing the rainbow bridge’. Dana is dying of gut-biome incompetency (stage three, eta two years). Daka is dying of chronic kidney disease […]
Donald Trump demonstrated on global and political stages alike that the corporate and executive perspective on law is not of one of inviolate directive, but merely of systemic rules to be gamed for profit. Also, that most of the right aisle on The Hill (and more on the left than there should be) largely feel […]
As I clearly am not going to be writing every day and as I also am not willing to give up on this place (again) and mothball it (again) only to stand it up next year under a new banner (again). This November edition is my marker in the field; of life, of myself, of […]

For reference, all but seven years of my life are trauma, and I’m pretty sure the professionals would say I’m wrong about those seven years, too. This is what ‘toxic stress’ and ‘chronic pain’ and ‘persistent anxiety’ and ‘severe depression’ means… that’s what it IS. That’s also before you add on the every […]

Gravity is the intersection of quantum fields within the greater, infinite, cosmological, dimensional ocean; an exhalation on imponderable scale, whose next intake we cannot hope to observe. The ultimate probability field in which every contact is entanglement; from this chaos, life arises and submerges, the eternal preponderance of which humanity cannot achieve, the literal breath […]
