A season of leaves:

Paradoxically falling

And emerging, too.

Autumn approaches

An amber apparition

Ancient and alive

Downfall of the clowns

Trump, Bolsonaro, et. al

Let’s replace our frowns

How tall is the moon?

It's taller than my daughter ...

Shorter than the sun

Let’s make it official

I love Halloween

Most human of holidays

Celebrates the veil

Yesterday's Out and About - Wacky Witch!

 

Yesterday on Out and About,  I talked with  Wacky Witch. We talked about Halloween and witchery, in general. Wacky shared many jokes that her father, who is a vampire and also a stand up comedian, tells at his shows. This episode of Out and About was filled with some history, some culture, some advice and a lot of Halloween happiness.

If you missed the show, you can find it in the KYRS archives here. 


Tune into Out and About every Tuesday at 4 pm on KYRS at 88.1 and 92.3 fm. Also streaming at KYRS.org.

Today's Out and About - WACKY WITCH!

 

I am pleased to announce that Wacky Witch has agreed to let me interview her on today’s Out and About. I can’t believe that she agreed to our confab right before Halloween, certainly a very busy time for WW. So, we are going to take a little break from politics, news and other scary stuff to hang out with Spokane’s premier enchantress and get our Halloween on!

Birds, bees, mantises 

Flourished on my sunflowers -

And then came the winds.

Caught in the machinery

When it all goes down

At least we’ll know where we are

Who they are - more so

Yesterday's Out and About - Pledge Drive and the Death Cult's Anti-Trans Initiatives

 

Yesterday on Out and About,  I talked with trans friends Dr. Kristine Coons and Kimber Ryburn. Also, I had fellow KYRS peep and trans pal Lynnea Kaylor with me to help pitch for the KYRS pledge drive. Our conversation was around the two very bad anti-trans initiatives on the current Washington State ballot.

The Republican Death Cult keeps trying to distract folks from what they are doing to everyone in our nation by their phony threat, best vocalized by their Russian-operative cult leader with his cries of “transgender for everyone.” Only a very “low-IQ” person would believe these demonic Republicans, but that is about all that remains in the cult at this time.

Today on Out and About - Anti-trans initiatives and our pledge drive...

 

Today on Out and About, I will be talking with transgender friends - Kristine Coons and Kimber Ryburn about the two anti-transgender initiatives on our ballots in Washington State. Initiative 638 would require public schools to order girls to get their sexual organs verified by a doctor before they could play sports. Initiative 1 is a measure which would repeal student privacy rights and subject trans kids to possible violence by abusive parents.


It’s no surprise that these solutions-in-search-of-a-problem are backed by the Republican Party. These dishonorable, hateful people seem to only care about attempting to hurt their marginalized neighbors, in order to placate their death cult base. 


I do have a lot of questions, especially around the issue of the minuscule number of trans athletes in our state. I wonder if there is a way to make competition as fair as possible for all involved in girl’s and women’s sports? Certainly this awful initiative would not help anyone (except to get the death cult aroused). 


Today, we also will be beginning our KYRS fund drive to continue the operation of our radio station. So, I will have a couple of other KYRS friends with me in the studio, asking you to phone in a pledge (509.747.3807).

Our nation’s soul for diesel
