frogboil (kick ur stupid fking igloo)
walled gardens // digital terrariums
scratching at the glass
pistol shrimp // pop librarians
phasing out the 5-wire // resonant neuropathy
stabilize connection while the nutrients dissolve off-screen
I think there’s something in the water
if we’re speaking metaphorically,
it’s older than the flouride & the regimental thorazine
behavior like a fungal fruit beholden to the wind
before there ever was a war machine
the spores began to drift
mouthful of dirt // mosey thru the substrate
all-noise blood feud // purgativo cupcake
anesthetized to villainy like “Boys will be boys,”
stock footage snuff reels // ironic fist’ll fill the void
it’s probably shaped like Dad
but that’s beside the point, Freud.
the ants are uniformly fractalizing coins
cropping circles out the neural net,
the glitch is pheromonal.
when aroused, the rabble march
becomes a morbid mill, prodromal
heartbeats // headaches // migraines // fluoxetine
night terrors // uresis //…

Toxic Masculinity, Femicide, and the Cowardly Abuser
“It is cowardice to hit a woman,” reads one of the ten commandents vs violence against women, as released by the administration of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. These rules, released last year after a series of protests that followed the brutal murder of Ingrid Escamilla in Ciudad Juarez, followed a sharp rise in femicides (the murder of a woman primarily driven by her gender) in Mexico – of nearly 137% percent in the few years leading up to this particular murder. Nearly 1,000 women were murdered in cases classified as femicide in Mexico last year; seems like calling the people who did it cowards didn’t do much to change things.

Stop Skipping Nine, You Fools
I do not wish to alarm thee, dear and darling readers, but I have some news that you may find distressing. Are you sitting down? If you’re not, do you read this blog on the rowing machine or something? Power walking? I have questions. Anyway: let me get right to the point. Some people, I have discovered, have decided that, in order to watch the rebooted seasons of Doctor Who, that a new viewer may skip the first season and jump straight into the David Tennant era with nary the merest thought of Christopher Eccleston’s run.

Description: Edie has what seems like an almost-perfect life: awesome friends, a comfortable apartment she shares with the world’s greatest cat, and a dream job as a record label talent scout.
