Mostly to mention that it's time to play a bit of catch-up again, as a migraine run took me out. Summer and drought in full swing, but with rain coming, so soon there will be more time for writing and less hauling water up from the lake for the garden.
I don't seem to get writer's block, which is cool, but I definitely get *thud* on occasion, rising semi-human after a couple days to write down whatever the brain's hnorked itself on.
Got told I should sit down and write up the rest of a novel, which came as a surprise. Hadn't started a novel - the thing in reference was a short story - but I can see how it might be one if I look at it sideways and upside down through a tesseract.
Maybe will, maybe nope. Gotta do some painting before I jump on the time consuming doom.

Minnesota's far-left DFL Party revokes endorsement for Omar Fateh after 'substantial failures' found in nomination process [not the least of which is that it's a Somali bulbhead with a sub-Saharan i.q.]
thepostmillennial.com/minnesot…
According to the DFL’s investigation, the electronic voting system used at the convention was “substantially flawed.” The review found a 176-vote undercount on the first ballot and revealed that candidate DeWayne Davis was improperly removed from the contest. Other irregularities included the loss of a credentials book, an unsecured master check-in sheet, and unauthorized access to the digital spreadsheet used for delegate tracking.
The findings prompted the DFL to strip Fateh of his endorsement, setting up a high-profile contest in November between the progressive state senator and Frey, who has led the city since 2017.

How neoliberalism contributes to the growth of fascism.Yves Smith (naked capitalism)
You can make a very good "boom" with neoliberalism. Unfortunately the "bust" will be quite harsh also.

sweet spices get many names
memories entrapped unwilling
while we in fiber spider’s web
sit still o’er watered feet
our meat of self dissembling
claiming taste as prion
playing current favor, savoring
in flavorings of amnesty
tangs of chemistry unraveling
that we might in our slumber
again lay waste, a liquid fire
claiming chaste horizon
my waking speaks of thunder
little four-arm birds a whirring
we could again be anywhere
but here in the afters shudder
to field-sound gone quiet
