Yesterday's Out and About - PROOF!


Yesterday on Out and About, I had a fun and rollicking conversation with Jess Loomer, Skyler Moeder and Scott Worley. They were with me to talk about their theatrical production of PROOF. Jess is one of the actors, Skyler is the promoter and Scott directs and produces this very thought-provoking play. Because the story deals with mental heath and people who are intellectually gifted, we had discussions around these issues, as well and a lot of laughs! If you want tickets to the show, here is a link -  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/proof-tickets-1990722899782.

‘Cause I’m going to

Sunflower fields forever, 

Let me take you down

These late spring blossoms

Natures prelude to summer

Each year four movements

Family of 4, Prague-bound

Adventure awaits

Change starts with one man

Despite resistance and hate

He remains steadfast


Emily


Hardworking, caring

Intelligent, trustworthy

That is my father


Alexander


Someone to lean on

And helping to move forward 

Best Father ever

The tone deaf tourist 

Sightseeing at any cost 

As the planet burns

Hushed warmth in my haunts

Our home’s happy summer peace

Tranquil spirit rests

Haiku Friday - June 19, 2026 - Yes! I have a black eye (really purple to be precise).

 

Freedom two-fifty;

America two-fifty:

Red states v. blue states. 


Max Q


I’m writing for you

A reflecting-pool haiku:

Murky and snot-green


Max Q 


A path, with views of

Mountains, wearing cloaks of white,

Framed by fragrant pines


Bill


In the dark distance 

A sea of compromised souls 

Beyond redemption 


Rikosan


An apt metaphor

Graft-fueled sewage reflection

Of a dipshit con


Maeve 


Sasquatch Pilgrimmage 

A spectral burg partying

Hear fantastic words

Yesterday's Out and About Chris Armitage and Dan Brown - The Existentialist Republic

 


Yesterday on Out and About, I talked with Chris Armitage and Dan Brown about Chris’ Substack site - The Existential Republic. we also talked about his latest books which are available free to download. These reads are a great tool for understanding why we are where we are, and what we can do to deny Fascists access to our lives. 

Chris has so many irons in the fire and travels all over the country to talk about what we can do to resist this totalitarian regime and finding all the possible paths forward. Dan is busy too with a lot of activism in local Spokane Democratic politics. It was great talking with them both and we could have done another hour easily!
