Thanks for filing yourself in my address book. It’s much appreciated.
Since my mama and my doctor both follow my account, I'm just going to go ahead and say-- I only had the hat off for a second.

Last night, I got real Texan on the mic with a memorized poem (🤠!) Then I made my way through two more short poems, which were translated to pictures so I could "read" them -- gratitude to the hackathon crew for making that possible. 👾💜 The boyfriend drove down from a million miles away and took a poeting picture of me that I like, even though I will never get used to seeing myself in a hat. 💙 @sarahthursdaypoet , @billfriday and I grabbed some sushi and ramen before the show. 💚
Everyone on the open mic was 🔥, @roonbug and @hanalena.fennel.poetry read fantastic cicada poems for me 💛, and there were lots of readers I either hadn't heard or hadn't heard in awhile. It was super cool to be audience to all that. 🙏🏾💕 And, the best part-- I got to feature alongside two extraordinary poets (@theexquisitepoet and @sarahthursdaypoet) in front of the warm audience of Two Idiots Peddling Poetry at The Ugly Mug. Listening to them is always an honor, listening to them with a roomful of people who get what an honor it is-- even better. ♥️. [I got a bit dizzy on stage. Even reading images for just 10 minutes was a lot. I won't be featuring anywhere again, or tackling any busy nights like this one, until I make some significant progress with all this brain stuff, which hopefully happens soon 🤞🏾. And now... I plan to nap till next week. 🙈💚]
4 years ago I walked out of prison, looking forward, terrified-- unsure how I'd get through it solo. Turns out, I haven't had to do one single step alone, just like always.
For all the villages that show me the preciousness of freedom, for every person who holds space for my stories, I am grateful every day.
I celebrate you. 🥳

I meant to order two bananas, but accidentally ordered bunches. In good moments, this reminds me how blessed I am to have access to food delivery, and to be able to afford this mistake. These bananas will become food I can give away, and so, they make me smile.
In sad moments, they make me tired. Double checking a list when you can't read or consistently interpret numbers is just pointless. A lot of things feel pointless.
And for some reason, I keep trying.
It's bananas.

Wow, you are super organized, but I guess you would kind of have to be considering all the things that you cover on this blog.

Why does King Kong look like me?

How could King Kong look like you? He’s not nearly as handsome as you are.

I meant it seemed like King Kong looked *enough* like me and Rarazilla was giving me a hug.
