I was a cook, then studied archaeology (AS) at the community college and anthropology/religious studies (BA) at the university. I might go back if my health improves but for now I'm healing from #longcovid, slowly adding things like painting, sculpture, and gardening to the things I can do without crashing.

The silent stars go by

Still around

I just wanted to pop up and wave so y’all don’t think I’m dead.

"If we tax the rich they will just leave."

So?
Let them leave.
Pretty much anywhere they go they'll need to pay taxes.
They can't take the land, houses, resources, or infrastructure they're hoarding.
They're not doing us a favour, Trickle down is a lie.
If they're only staying as long as they can avoid contributing their fair share, why would we want them here anyway?

Either they contribute to the society that benefits them or they leave and free up their stash.

Bye bye. We can do better.

People always ask, "Where is Bigfoot?" But they never ask, "How is Bigfoot?"

Yeti never complains..

"The most ordinary soundscapes soothe me, a memory of how the world sounded when the pedal broke off my bicycle and I had to walk everywhere, how walking from my neighborhood to the new-ish mixed use area on the way to the commissary felt uncanny, so many sounds, so many changes in terrain from day to day due to construction and unloading vehicles. I still see it in my mind as many places at once, places that all exist now like map overlays ..."

"A melody drifts through shuddering cicadas and traffic rumbling on 35.

I can’t make it out — it is far but moving closer."

distant music, fading ghosts
