Good morning. It is 24th June 2026, and it’s a Wednesday.
I keep waking up at 5 o’clock or so. Spend the first little bit of the day scrolling through my RSS feed and the overnight newsletters. I’m not sure how that helps me in the long run.
Job interview this afternoon. Have the best version of my uniform ready. Going to go swimming a little later just so I can feel the best in my body.
How should I celebrate afterwards? Maybe fill a bag full of books and find a coffee shop. Or go to the central library for a while.
Time to go write a poem.

Good morning. It is 2026-06-23, and it’s a Tuesday.
Yesterday I met up with my friend Emmett, a delightful human. We discussed the world, the physical breakdowns as we age, having younger friends, and our cats. A good time.
This morning: it was light when I woke up, and I thought it was later than it was. Spent the first hour staring at a screen, like a fool. I don’t like to see the president’s name in the morning, but I of course looked at the news. Rookie mistake. Making it up by going to a coffee shop with notebook and book (the selected poems of James Schuyler).
From an article on AI and love:
“We were designed to give; the gifts were meant to circulate. Love is too often discussed as a sort of good you want to stockpile, harvest, collect, even extract, but to be loved without loving is a sad accomplishment, a miser’s hoarding of someone else’s wealth. The work of loving is also the work of forging a self and a life.”

Behold my son!!!
Good morning. It is 2026–06–22, and it is a Monday.
Went to an incredible trans wedding yesterday. It was beautiful and kind hearted and full of compassion and trans love. The food was really good, too. I got to see a bunch of friends that I haven’t seen in a while. Got a little too much sun, but that’s okay. Now I’m sitting in the living room, drinking coffee, and talking into my phone. Today is a quiet day. Not a lot going on for the next couple of days until my job interview. So just trying really hard to keep my shit together until I find out if I’m employed again. Gonna write, gonna read the new book. I hope that you have a lovely day.
