@JDVance1 “Praying for our friends in Israel this morning. Just an awful situation.” This tweet was how I learned of the latest war in Palestine ~ @simonateba BREAKING – YOUR REACTION: New York Attorney General Letitia James (@TishJames) leaves the courtroom without granting any interview after losing 80 percent of the case against Trump on day one because she could not figure out what the statute of limitations was. ~ A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal. Oscar Wilde The Critic as Artist (1891) ~ There was an incident in my small group this past weekend. A couple of people said something about Oscar Wilde. Our leader, correctly, said that we should be talking about ourselves, and not about “mundane reality.” I immediately offered a prayer of apology, to the spirit of Oscar Wilde, for saying that he was mundane. ~ I look at the photos from this year’s gathering and remember how I felt each year in the afterglow of the weekend. Then I remember some of the nasty things and treatment I received from some of those so called loving men when I said things they disagreed with. Not agreeing to disagree and focusing on the common bonds, but silence at best, and ostracism and name calling at worst. I realise I can never go back and share my honest feelings because I would be the villain in their eyes, disrupting the love fest of the like minded. I can only look back fondly on a time to which I can never return. ~ I had not been to fall since 1996. This was by far the best fall conference I have been to. That said, I am aware that the other shoe might drop, and I could get kicked out of paradise. For now, I am just going to enjoy things going well, and not worry about the future. I also know that there are certain things to either say very carefully and diplomatically, or not at all. ~ Good morning Jimbob I hope this day finds you in good spirits, and that your father is doing as well as the circumstances allow. ~ It is looking like a glorious day in my WTF … white trash fabulous … life. I am on the front porch with my laptop. It is chilly enough to need a sweatshirt and head covering. I am on my second round of coffee, and will be moving on with the day soon. ~ Twitter has decided to quit publishing headlines, at least for non paying users. I was too lazy to write anything new this morning, so i have a rerun Since X is no longer showing headlines, I decided to write the title above the picture. This is the result ~ For the record, the picture was taken at a beauty pageant in 1930, in Galveston TX. At that time, Pauline Kael was 11 years old. James Broughton was 17. Their daughter Gina James was -18. Broughton came to atlanta in 1982. He gave a talk at a circle downtown, and there was a party that evening. I briefly chatted with him, though I doubt if he remembered anything the next day. I was talking about chakras, and i mentioned taint as slang for the perineum. He had never heard this . I greatly enjoy the poems of Mr Broughton, and consider him an influence. There was a 100th birthday celebration for him at the E church in candler park. Franklin Abbott used to have a healing circle at the E church in the 80s. He would always caution you about splinters in the floor. At the broughton event … he died in his 80s … there was a dancer. He was naked, and laid down on the floor, rubbing his crotch into the floor. I was horrified, but apparently the floor had been refinished. My coffee is about to run out. Let me go. Hope to hear from you soon ~ Your post is now on Facebook, but it looks similar to other posts that were removed because they don’t follow our standards on hate speech. ~ “the fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.” Bertrand Russell Marriage and Morals (1929) ~ Where Would Jesus Park? ~ four rules Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all Concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? ~ Hey, this is Luther. I enjoyed meeting you this weekend, and was delighted to spend some cabin 13 time with you. I am reading those books you gave me. The zine anthology came in handy yesterday. I had an eye doctor appointment, and got to spend quality time in the waiting room with my eyes dilated. I could not read text, but enjoyed looking at the pictures. I assembled the slide shows for the poems I read saturday night. These poems were created as visual presentations. The face that they might work as performance pieces is a happy accident. Gasoline was once considered a “vile and useless by-product” to the production of heating oil. I am composing this in a desktop document. This is one of my habits. I copy links of things I look up, and record random thoughts and quotes. On Monday morning, I publish this document. Here is an example, illustrated with “blackout poems.” Btw, I know a black man who calls these erasure poems, which still is not a good fit. One day I was have a better name for these. I would hope I have your permission to publish this. This would be without your name/email address. There is much more to say, and to listen to. I would enjoy an old fashioned correspondence, if that is something you would like to do. I am also on facebook as Luther Mckinnon, and twitter as @chamblee54. ~ A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.

That said, I am aware that the other shoe might drop, and I could get kicked out of paradise. For now, I am just going to enjoy things going well, and not worry . i am also aware that there are certain subjects that should be discussed carefully or not at all ~ I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. But for me, having to self edit seems contradictory to all the talk about authenticity to one’s self and honest expression. I’m sure I’d get along with a large percentage of the folks there with no problem. The handful that I wouldn’t or couldn’t do that with are some of the ones that are most vocal about those concepts and I find it very hypocritical. I was booted off the group’s FB page by one such individual with no notice being given and not for anything I posted there ( I almost never post there) it was they had a personal beef with me outside the group and had the admin power to boot me off. Thankfully another admin with a more level head put me back in and apologised. Another online acquaintance that was in the FB group for several years was kicked off the page a couple of weeks ago because he didn’t fall in line with the trans inclusive groupthink because he was supporting maintaining gay male only spaces. It’s all hugs and heart circles until you hit one of the tripwires of the alphabet soup brigade. Obviously I’m not talking about you, Luther. I’ve always appreciated that you’re a level headed guy who can listen to a wide range of views. And you also have a pretty strong BS meter. ~ sigh the trans issue is tricky. It is like social justice on steroids ~ This is the only reply poem I ever wrote. Someone at Java Monkey went to a festival in North Carolina. He said there were barefoot white people, who did not wear deodorant, but loved to dance. Those are my people! I feel like the kid in Flashdance when I perform this ~ is it cultural appropriation or just another abomination ~ what ben franklin really said ~ Twitter has decided to quit publishing headlines for non-paying users. I decided to post the title of this piece, above the picture. This might lead to confusion. For the record, the photograph was taken at a pageant in Galveston TX, in 1930. At that time, Pauline Kael was 11 years old. James Broughton was 17. Their daughter Gina James was -18. ~ the first time I heard of CS Lewis was 6th grade English. The teacher was this white haired lady. Some said she was sooooo sweet. She was telling us the story of Narnia. She described the story. Then she said, with a bit of a smirk, that the story was REALLY about Jesus. Yuck. ~ @zora Wishing all strength to Palestinians. And sick at the thought of how well this serves Netanyahu. He’s been looking for justification for full-scale retaliation for so long, it makes me wonder if he had the intel and chose to ignore it. ~ The Library of Congress ~ selah
