@24thdoctor.bsky.social

Forever torn between putting the ask of is there literally anyone local in my area to befriend and the idea that “are there any writers/creative people in Alabama” usually leads to a no with the most viscous side eye in the world lmao.

The ocean can be yours; why should you stop
Beguiled by dreams of evanescent dew?
The secrets of the sun are yours, but you
Content yourself with motes trapped in beams.

The DNC autopsy is exhibit #8204059 that the Democratic Leadership must be changed and the party is completely ossified and unable to meet the moment right now.

Candidates, organizers, activists, and voters are getting it done, but top down they are cooked, including their big $$$ donors.

David Bowman

@dlbowman76.com

I very much like the King Crimson song "Matte Kudasai." There's something fine and euphonious about the way that 'Matte Kudasai' has the same meter as 'Wait a moment, please.'

I truly believe that these guys who go around to town council meetings and try to convince people that data centers and power plants aren't inimical to human life are going to go to hell. Like, they are truly soulless pieces of shit.

One singular pair of jeans arrived on my doorstep yestereve.
Though I brought the package inside, it lays unopened, and I remain timorous.
