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.

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 […]
