It doesn’t matter if they die
May 22, 2020 16:04 - 34 minutesPoster Image - Delicious Babies They are tired of other people being lazy, so they must go back to work. They are tired other people thinking they are lazy, so they must go back to work. They fought in all of America's wars, so we must go back to work. They want to believe none of this is real, so they must go back to work. They know they're just going to let us all die, so we must go back to work.

May 19, 2020 16:21 - 2 minutesListen now (2 min) | There have been ~92,000 deaths in the United States from COVID-19 (as of 12:00pm Eastern 05/19/20). If every death was a grain of white rice, and if we assume there are approximately 7,500 grains of rice in a cup of rice, that would be 12 1/4 cups of dry rice.

May 19, 2020 16:21 - 2 minutesPoster Image - Needle seeks arm for NSA play There have been ~92,000 deaths in the United States from COVID-19 (as of 12:00pm Eastern 05/19/20). If every death was a grain of white rice, and if we assume there are approximately 7,500 grains of rice in a cup of rice, that would be 12 1/4 cups of dry rice.

We'll sell you the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge
May 15, 2020 16:33 - 7 minutesPoster Image - This little piggie What a beutiful spring day here in Pittsburgh, the sun is shining and everyone in the entire neighborhood seems to belive the virus is gone. Well that must be that (dusts hands), we’ll get back to normal very soon as if this was all just a dream. Back to neo-liberalism, fresh and new as it ever was, like the powdered ass of a euthanized septuagenarian in private long-term care. Stay safe from the entitled, bored and lied to. — I am the janitor for the ma...

Now we get to see what's real
May 12, 2020 15:58 - 2 minutesPoster Image - Thinks himself protagonist I've been kicking the idea for this essay around in my head for weeks and haven't known how to quite say it, so I tasked myself to just write it down. This is a version one, but it must be in the world, so that a more nuanced appraisal can take place. Thank you for reading, thank you for listening, thank you for being out there. — Full size - Now we get to see what’s real (lyrics) — Our symbol-scape is a rigid lattice of narrative, propaganda an...

I, Fecund
May 08, 2020 16:56 - 5 minutesPoster Image - Greeting the day We are well here in Pittsburgh. The governmental gas-lighting has worked wonders here, people are playing outside, things are calm. Normalcy is just around the corner. Our neighbors have become neo-liberal zombies who scorn our masks and distancing. I think we all hope I am insane, but I am unwilling to act “as if” until “it is”. I hope you continue to do the same. Share the good news, not the virus. Won’t you? — Peering between two cracked boards, watchin...
To live forever
May 05, 2020 16:01 - 2 minutesPoster Image - Shattered Lance This may be obvious, but all of the images in the newsletter are interpretations of photographs. Most of them exist out of context, but this one was taken at the end of March 2020. Thank you all for reading. If you dig it, share it. — Full size - To live forever (lyrics) — We live towards the end of a short winding hillside street. This neighborhood has been here for one and a half centuries. It is older than the town I grew up in, older than most American...

I wake up. The birds are chirping.
May 01, 2020 15:59 - 10 minutesPoster Image - Seeking the darkness for its own sake Hello. I hope you are well. This week we have a double feature: a story and a response to last Friday’s post from Michael Thomas. I’m going to let his essay speak for itself, but it’s fucking awesome to see post-liberal bullshit taken on so seriously. Thank you all for reading! — I wake up. The birds are starting to wake up. My daughter is still sleeping. I start the morning coffee. It is rich, single origin, quite fair trade and aspirat...

Thank you for serving
April 28, 2020 16:18 - 2 minutesPoster Image - Blood sick Here’s another song for the folk-heads. I’ve gotten a couple questions about this and I wanted to clarify - Tuesdays are now “song” days and Fridays are now “sound art” days. That is all. Thank you for reading, thank you for listening, thank you to all of you who have shared, and especially welcome to the new readers. Enjoy. — Full size - Thank you for serving (lyrics) — On Sundays we pack a picnic basket, walk to the overlook near the farm in the old part of...

"We are Orpheus all" or how everyday will be worse
April 24, 2020 16:00 - 10 minutesPoster Image - Ennui Thank you all for your feedback and share’s on the Monday’s song. That’s the kind of feedback I’ve gotten through this project and it will definately keep me going. Thank you all! Keep sharing with others and with me. Today’s piece may be more manifesto than argument, a surevy of my fight for bedrock. These themes will return not just in this project but in our lives as well. — I have become a sports announcer in my own dreams, a length of intestines digesting its ...

I'm taking you hostage
April 21, 2020 16:00 - 2 minutesPoster Image - Chew away the roots So, its been maybe 10 years or more since I recorded some actual “folk” songs. I’ve been writing or at least pocket-recording all these years, but not actually saying “This will now be recorded as if it were a discrete and marginally polished piece”. So here it is. My plan is to publish these Tuesdays and continue with sound-art on Fridays. Images and story/essay will remain unchanged. Thank you for all your support and especially those who nagged me for 10...

April 17, 2020 16:17 - 5 minutesPoster Image - The greatenering Can you smell the inside of your skull yet? I shoved a Yankee candle in my ear and now i just smell cinnamon toast. — There's a little bird that sits just outside of my vision all day. It sits outside of the window when I'm in a room, or flies from tree to tree when I walk, or sings to me when I wake up. It says the same thing all day with artful variation. "Society is collapsing, you should leave." The bird doesn't want me to wait for the rent and bread r...

April 14, 2020 16:35 - 4 minutesPoster Image - Y’all fucked I got this email last week. Would you maybe consider writing about the meds shortage of hydroxycloriquin and how its fucking over patients with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis to whom which it is a life saving drug?...in your bizzaro land version of course. … Just a thought. I understand if nothing comes to you in its regard, but I thought you might find it interesting. Thank you again. Your work is a bitter pill of relief from the surrounding delusions. Thank...

Thank you that will be all
April 10, 2020 16:31 - 6 minutesPoster Image - Run and run and run forever I hope you are well and that you are insane from being at home and not sick from being in the world and that we will soon have more choices. — I've lost feeling in my right thumb. I stare out of the window at the street, I see houses that all look the same, I see my neighbors. I've heard of other people having their whole body go numb, whole communities devastated by it, one by one turning to dust. But my neighbors seem immune. I want to touch th...
They have given us back our freedom in exchange for our insecurity and that is good
April 07, 2020 16:26 - 6 minutesPoster Image - I will be sad when they’re all gone I think a lot of y'all are missing an exciting chance to share the newsletter with a black-pilled friend who needs a certain hand to help navigate us directly into the heart of darkness. Please consider sending it along. And also, thank you for reading. I hope you are well. — Jason sent this to me: JUSTICE That Justice is a blind goddess Is a thing to which we black are wise. Her bandages hide two festering sores That once perhaps we...

I will not wait with the other lambs
April 03, 2020 16:00 - 28 minutesPoster Image - King Commander's Crypto-Theocracy Big thanks to Jason Crye for helping to record the input for today’s sound piece. Frame shifts and slips in focus occur all throughout the day, I realize I'm either hedging against societal collapse, or hedging against it returning to normal. I hope you are all well. Thank you for reading. — The sky is dark, the engines are loud - I will not wait with the other lambs while Farmer checks on whether or not it is safe to get out of the pen. ...

Prestige
March 31, 2020 16:57 - 1 minutePoster Image - Ain’t going gently I've been writing a lot of fiction recently. I think that is likely to continue. It helps me say exactly what I want to say without getting too specific, flagging key-words and becoming the witch-hunt that creates enough sideshow to let them get away with what they're trying to get away with. You know what I mean, if you know what I mean. — So many bromides, behaviors and cliches about the longevity of the state and toxic american revanchist patriotism rol...

Feel free to comment, please share with anyone who would enjoy this. I appreciate you all. — A father and his toddler walk near the great polluted river.

March 24, 2020 16:00 - 36 minutesPoster Image - Decadence meet fire Thank you all so much for reading. Please comment if you like. Stay safe and share with anyone who would care to read it. — Dad is drunk again. He's wearing his 'kill all queers' shirt again. It has an American flag on it: the red stripes are blood, the stars are bullet holes. He's talking to his buddies about the car wreck at the end of the cul-de-sac. They stand out there for hours drinking. I tell him the air smells funny and he hits me and sends me ...
World eater, mouth breather
