Once again, the weekly roundup of my corner of Tumblr:


My posts

Dear diary: I reacted badly to a muscle relaxer, which knocked out a few days of my week; removal of the Diagonal Trees has begun. At the time, I was also wrestling with 2700 words that showed up out of nowhere, which have become “Why I Love Poppy Playtime (Even Though I Don’t Play It).” However, I am having Still Further Surprise Medication Side Effects (Do Not Ask), so the Poppy post will hit Patreon on Monday or Tuesday.

Meanwhile, a 200 ft (61 m) radio tower was stolen from Jasper, Alabama. Yes, this is real. Y’all have tags about it.

Reblogs of interest

Richard Siken’s “Some Questions I Might Ask of My Poems and the Poems of Others” Creatures of the Deep Poetry Coloring Page

“this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it”

“Every computer is just a very specialized loom.”

Vulcan color theory“There’s a labyrinth. In the middle of it, a minotaur is making waffles.”

Answering bids for connection: the attention we need. That last reblog also explains to me why I like to watch game playthroughs while winding down at night.
