The authority of your diligence and dedication yields fulfillment.

Straight Shame Month begins now 🌈

Riding the rails, roaming towns you’ve never been to before, doing light work for cash or food, sleeping outside when the weather’s nice.

All while engaging in various types and degrees of BDSM along the way:

vagabondage — n. / ˈva-gə-ˌbän-dij / 🪢

Laura Palmer is The One—she is the dreamer. Dale Cooper is who she long ago dreamed up would save her (from murder, sa, addiction, and all of her suffering with its physical/mental/emotional horror). Continues to dream him, even in death.

But it’s such a fervent, potent wish that her dreamed-up, would-be hero becomes sentient, with a flawed agenda. Cooper begins informing and over-complicating her dream state with his often inadequate methods, actions, and questionable history.

The “angel meant to help” Laura is not the literal one she sees at the end of FWWM; it’s Cooper standing right next to her. He meant to help her but obviously couldn’t because everything had already happened when he arrived on the scene. And then, 25 years later, he crosses time to prevent Laura’s death and bring her to her still grieving mother who has been consumed entirely by regret, guilt, sorrow, and loss (not simply inhabited by a demon; those are the real demons).

Laura is “saved” but then displaced and forced to remember all of her pain, all at once. Her mother doesn’t even exist, but Laura hears her.

Cooper fails. Not because you can’t undo the past—IT’S NOT ALLOWED.

And neither of them realize this. 🪾🕳🪾

Halcyon future—

turn out more than each rider’s

lost & passing scene...

Cycle ’way caution instead,

faces embracing all wind

Happy Birthday, @avmlsu, aka Foxy Andy! 🌟🦊

May the 1st, firstly, be

a well-appointed honeybee—

Knowing true its line,

blossom to varied blossom;

For welled within its ’hind,

a cartographic dance

fares sublimely awesome.

May the 2nd, segue to

full prosperity, pull a mantle

from each dozing seed;

One robustly gilt, vimmed—

to be strewn proliferative

o’er leas lain fallow for

tread of loss, doubt, woe.

Beltane! Beltane! Beltane!

Peel back the hind’ring mesh—

I reach for your splendor

by simply tending to my own

roving bit of earthly flesh.

Update: This wasn’t just about me. While I was gone, my other coworker was fired. :(

Kiddos, never think or feel in a Hollywood way
