I See: It’s Not You Who Is Not Requiting Me, It’s Something In You Over Which You Have No Say Says No to Me

Blooger IS fucked-up, this from reddit last evening:



And others have confirmed via email, thank you. Glad that I didn't break mine, capable though I am even when I've made no attempt to change a thing about the blog except add more people to the blogrolls to make my daily rounds easier and more fulfilling. I did, in a pathetically panicky effort to fix the current fuck-up I knew was blooger's fault and not mine, delete the two cemetery blogrolls, many of those had been dead more than a decade, thinking if any rss codes are constipating the blogrolls it'd be these. If you are still reading here and know your dead blog was interned in the Blogrolls of the Dead and you Rise again to bloglife please let me know, I'll add you to the blogrolls where you will not show up until blooger fixes the feed problem and I bet you unlimited digital pints blooger won't fix the feed problem. Wait, there's new Arab Strap?

Google sheets and forms in my work life and real life sketchy now too, it's not just blooger. Meanwhile, the director of the FBI is defending the hiring of ICE agents with a known history of bestiality while the hick-larping GOP senator from Louisiana demands to know if the animals (whether the dogs were the fucked or the fucker or both is not stated) were disqualified if the agents weren't. Patel assures hick-larper the doggos are good boys. Where I would type the preceding sentence if blooger dies I haven't yet considered beyond knowing it will not be substack and I really don't want to teach myself wordpress though I have an account - a few of you have clicked through to it when I embedded links in the grid - and could replace this blog there. Does wordpress even have blogrolls much less blogrolls that use a feed to self-update? Grids will continue for now, there's a workaround until blooger dies, grids help me process and cope, I do them for me. Have some old Arab Strap

THE CONSOLATIONS OF SOCIOBIOLOGY

Bill Knott

Those scars rooted me. Stigmata stalagmite

I sat at a drive-in and watched the stars

Through a straw while the Coke in my lap went

Waterier and waterier. For days on end or

Nights no end I crawled on all fours or in

My case no fours to worship you: Amoeba Behemoth.

—Then you explained your DNA calls for

Meaner genes than mine and since you are merely

So to speak its external expression etcet

Ergo among your lovers I’ll never be ...

Ah that movie was so faraway the stars melting

Made my thighs icy. I see: it’s not you

Who is not requiting me, it’s something in you

Over which you have no say says no to me.
