What’s On My Mind

  • Accessibility is Killing Me
    I can’t afford therapy, but the vape is $20 and sometimes it actually does put me back together tearing apart the delicate tissues of my lungs in the process. Sex is easy. Love is hard. Don’t ever equate the two no matter how tied they seem. Sex is not love. Love does not require sex.… Read more: Accessibility is Killing Me
  • Neglecting My Responsibilities to Make Art
    I couldn’t care less about the economy. Economic growth won’t bring him back to me. It’s ironic to think that way, because economic growth is precisely what brings people to me. I am a white man with an office in Lower Manhattan. Hundreds to thousands of bombs each year let me live without fear. The… Read more: Neglecting My Responsibilities to Make Art
  • Edging vs. Procrastinating

They fired me a month later. The old gallery closed too, and I don’t know where Extinction Rebellion meets anymore. I’m… Read more: When will I be radicalized?
  • Stand Up
    What is good is rarely what wins. And when good does come out on top, you can bet compromises were made. That’s the way of my world at least. The other day in class I was called out for being a cynic, and throughout my life I’ve been uplifted as a ray of light. I… Read more: Stand Up
  • Will the rat birth control affect the birds?
    I was a little drunk, but my heart still dropped. He was drunk too, and he wouldn’t have noticed if I didn’t point it out. It was painful to see and even more painful to leave, but I couldn’t do anything till the morning. It needed to be sterile and proper. Everything can be fixed,… Read more: Will the rat birth control affect the birds?
