This is me (playing bass) with my first band ever called Rapa Nui. This was officially our first gig, although the first one happened a few months before this one, in Sarajevo, in front of the then-demolished Youth House.
Back then, I hated melodic punk, feeling the buzz from bands like Motorhead and different extreme metal and grindcore artists.
However, in 2016, I rediscovered an old favorite.
This is a story of how Bad Religion made me start listening to punk rock, an…

Thy face hath not the power to make love groan;

Hmm… maybe I should pickup a watch with a "California Dial". 🤔

revolutionwatch.com/california

Baltany branded watch with a milk chocolate brown face featuring a 'Mercedes' style hour hand, while the minute hand is sword-shaped with its sides angling outwards. The hourly markings use the vintage Rolex 'error-proof' layout (a.k.a. the 'California dial'). As such the 12 is a downward facing triangle, 3/6/9 are horizontally aligned batons. For the remaining numbers, the upper ones are roman numerals, while the lower ones are arabic numerals. The watch has a light brown leather strap and a p…

I've rarely wanted to reach for something like a mock library and every time I did I could get away with something simpler yet some people insist on using mock libraries. No, you don't need a mocking library.

Finished "Far from the Tree" by Robin Benway last night. For me, it was a gripping and absolutely delightful read. I can recognize that I'm absolutely unequipped to judge whether it authentically reflects the experiences of many or few of the people whose situations are similar to the protagonists', but I find myself fervently hopeful for the former, even as I recognize such hopes in the part of people like me can be part of ultimately harmful publishing selection feedback loops. (If anyone reading this happens to have read the book and found it distasteful, I'd love to hear that.) Notwithstanding my probably overcautious uncertainty, I'll definitely be seeking out more books by Benway. At the very least, I really enjoyed her little joining and framing metaphors, and the pacing and plot construction were good, with lots of nicely interwoven implications arising through the buildup, and an ending that left me satisfied (albeit, I'm an inveterate optimist, YMMV).

Calamus 20 I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing
What a heartaching poem of loneliness and the need for the love of another! Just wonderful. I understand now why this poem is so popular, particularly as a gay poem. It is full of meaning and is quite clear about it.
I wondered how it could utter joyous leaves, standing alone there, without its friend, its lover near—for I knew I could not
There's a more cerebral interpretation of this work, particularly if you understand "leaves" to mean "pages in my poetry book Leaves of Grass". Whitman talking about his own poetic inspiration from lovers.
Which well enough. But I'm more interested in Whitman's expressed need for "manly love". Which is clearly on his mind constantly:
my own dear friends ... I believe lately I think of little else than of them
Also Whitman's own eroticization of nature and himself. Here speaking of the tree,
its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself

#WritersCoffeeClub June 4: Do you consider writing work? Would you consider writing your life's work?
Work, as in something that requires effort, that I take seriously - yes.
Money is beside the point.
Writing is what I do, what I love, and what I want. Is that "life's work"? I don't know, that's for someone else to decide once I'm gone.

Sonnet 022 - XXII
My glass shall not persuade me I am old,
So long as youth and thou are of one date;
But when in thee time's furrows I behold,
Then look I death my days should expiate.
For all that beauty that doth cover thee,
Is but the seemly raiment of my heart,
Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me:
How can I then be elder than thou art?
O! therefore love, be of thyself so wary
As I, not for myself, but for thee wil…

Calamus 19 Mind you the timid models of the rest, the majority?
A declaration of intellectual independence and a celebration of brotherly love. Honestly this poem feels a little clumsy to me, I can see why Whitman struck the awkward introducing lines in later editions.
As always, looking for the gay content:
Yet comes one, a Manhattanese, and ever at parting, kisses me lightly on the lips with robust love.
And I, in the public room, or on the crossing of the street, or on the ship's deck, kiss him in return
We observe that salute of American comrades
But I can't in all honestly read this use of "kissing" as erotic. Here the public kissing and the "salute of comrades" makes me think it's more of a fraternal kiss.
Which doesn't exclude a romantic kiss as well, or an erotic one. What's so vital about Calamus is how Whitman blends masculine sexual love with the love of comrades. I think both meanings are latent in every poem.

Content warning:

I both love and hate #editing. I love it because I usually enjoy reading my own stories and improving them bit by bit. And I hate it because I'm happy with the text except for ONE WORD that takes 3 fucking hours to replace.

I heard about a "Toy Library" which sounds cool! I mean, I run a Free Little Art Gallery and I always love a Little Free Library (of books), but get this...
"Cunillera runs it like a business. Families pay up to $65 per month, and there are scholarships."
Fuck That. It's not a "Library" it's a toy subscription service.

if i could make love with a grammatical error, it'd be a comma splice. like why's that shit even considered one in the first place, have you ever felt the ebb and flow and oh-so-zippy tempo of modern day american conversation, mr writerman?

Wave your flags and waive your fate
The freedom you claim is the one you hate
The victory you seek will never come
Brutal views through brutal eyes
See no future, hear no lies
Speak no truth to me or the people I love
When I grow up I want to be
All the things you've never been
And your opinion will count for none <-- #StyleCouncilForevah

Oh hey, speaking of awesome bands from Cleveland. One of my favorite 80s indie bands is from there. Got into them from a comp and quickly became a fan, getting whatever albums I could find.
I just love the singer's voice and style.
Here they are back in the day, doing a rocked out cover of “Sylvia Plath”, a song originally done by another local Cleveland artist named Peter Laughner.

"Sometimes it is more loving to allow someone else to experience the natural consequences of their actions, even when it is painful for us both. In the long run, both of us will benefit. Today I will put love first in my life."

Sonnet 036 - XXXVI
Let me confess that we two must be twain,
Although our undivided loves are one:
So shall those blots that do with me remain,
Without thy help, by me be borne alone.
In our two loves there is but one respect,
Though in our lives a separable spite,
Which though it alter not love's sole effect,
Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight.
I may not evermore acknowledge thee,
Lest my bewailed guilt shoul…

The excessive anti-Microsoft overtones will certainly appeal to some people, however I don't think of this as a good way to promote a a system. The first reader comment under <

I'm trying out the Dusa programming language (dusa.rocks/), so I made a baby 4x4 Sudoku.
It was fun. ^_^
I'd love some array/list functionality; I wouldn't want to tackle a regular 9x9 Sudoku through copy-pasta. But I appreciate how easy this was with the `forbid` directive.

Calamus 18 City of my walks and joys!
A celebration of Manhattan. I love Whitman's embrace of cities as being just as vital as nature unspoiled. It reflects the humanist aspect of his joy in the world, not a Thoreau-like rejection of civilization.
I also love that Whitman is writing about cruising the streets, making eye contact with potential lovers, celebrating offerings of love.
as I pass, O Manhattan! your frequent and swift flash of eyes offering me love
Offering me the response of my own—these repay me,
Lovers, continual lovers, only repay me.
Whitman punched up the first line in later editions, escalating to "City of orgies, walks and joys!"

Being in the UK on holiday reminded me how much I love crumpets. Since I can’t easily find them in the states I’ll just make them myself.
So yeah, gonna make crumpets now… feel free to share any advice!

Sonnet 136 - CXXXVI
If thy soul check thee that I come so near,
Swear to thy blind soul that I was thy Will,
And will, thy soul knows, is admitted there;
Thus far for love, my love-suit, sweet, fulfil.
Will, will fulfil the treasure of thy love,
Ay, fill it full with wills, and my will one.
In things of great receipt with ease we prove
Among a number one is reckoned none:
Then in the number let me pass untold,
Though in thy store…
