what the duck
mastodon 4.7.2+glitchGen X cancer survivor. I see you through the cosmos.
Too weird for the nerds, too nerdy for the weirdos, and nowhere near cool enough to be punk. Bearing witness to the incipient doom of the anthropocene from deep in the belly of the capitalist food supply chain.
Nature lover, birder, cyclist. Buddhist/Dzogchen practitioner, but in an anarchistic kind of way. Very anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-fascist. Patron of the arts, high and low.
If it bothers you when people talk about systemic problems, you're probably habitually numbing yourself to avoid seeing the ways that your life is built upon and contributes to those problems.
Seattle now, with roots in Colorado, Minnesota and Ohio -- but yeah I love this whole messed up world.

What
is the way that is the move
that is the dream
Chattering teeth
Shivering brain
Nervous system echoing like a scream

Trailing into laughter

Nobody follows me on these stupid fn apps but I just have to say, at some point you either see the magic or you don't. And if you don't, you might want to make some changes, because it's out there. Namaste and love to all you Internet strangers -- I hope things go well for you

Oh the swirling madness
Comes singing through the neighborhood
Tra la tra la
La hoo hoo hoo hoo
How do you do
How do you do
How do you do
I've come to stay for awhile
You don't know me yet
But I know you
[repeat ad nauseum]
