Letter To A Superior Shrink

Hello, Everyone, So, I’m going to share with you…in private, just ‘tween us, cross your heart … a secret that you long ago figured out. To wit, I’m not the steadiest stack of cognitive dishes in the mental drainer and periodically you can hear from my frontal lobes a loud crashing noise as one or more my of synapses he

My latest blog posting. This is a (comic) letter about finding a shrink in an age of Trump and Covid

Departure

“Departure” is a short piece about a man who discovers that his beloved was not, well, particularly lovable, or even simply kind. Alas, he learns this…

Well, another little plus. My video Departure just got selected by the DMOFF festival. It'll be going up on their site soon and I'll post a link to it there.In the meantime, here's the video...

At The End Of Things

Suppose he loses. He is still in the White House for nearly three months after the election. What if he decides to risk a coup?

The Post Graduate

An experiment in video poetry...of sorts. In it, the post-modern conception of unreality meets post-humanism, and does not emerge unscathed.

My most recent experiment with limited animation and video poetry. It is apolitical (for once) so you can watch it even if you’re pro-Trump :-)

However, it is a bit anti-postmodern, so if you're a big fan of _Simulacra and Simulation_, you might want to give this one a big old skip.

Trade Deals and Pussies

Trump would sell out the nation if there was a profit to be made.

Whatever Shall Become Of Them?

The GOP has a choice. Jump from the sinking ship now, and face immediate retribution, or wait for something much worse.

Warning From Beirut

The blast came, in other words, at the worst possible time. It was a health care crisis in the midst of another health care crisis.

My newest blog posting over at michaeljaytucker.com. Stay strong, Lebanon.

Sleeping With Rich Men

If she had been a college professor...or a man...no one would have said she was a whore.

My latest. Give it a look.

Depth Charges: Colons, Thin Man, And Hope

Trump’s sending Federal troops to ABQ? Dude, I grew up there. That’s like sending a SWAT Team to Santa’s Village.

My latest. Includes Trump and colonoscopies.

My latest reading, “On Love” by the great Kahlil Gibran.

Triumph This is a very short piece which I did for the H+ Video Prize 2020 competition. The parameters were that our entries had to be a minute or under in length (yikes) and say something optimistic about the future—a corrective, you see, for the general gloom of news regarding the here and now. A worthy goal, I think.

Still haven’t heard who has won, but I’ll let you know when I find out.
