The war on drugs is built on the idea that the chemicals are the problem. Once you realize that disconnection and isolation are the drivers of addiction, you suddenly realize that what we do actually makes addiction worse. We take addicts who are addicted because they’re isolated and suffering, isolate them in prison cells and make it impossible for them to get jobs when they leave, and inflict more pain and suffering on them. As the doctor from Vancouver said to me, if you wanted to create a system that would make addiction worse, you would create the system that we have.
Everything you know about drug addiction is wrong

The war on drugs is an excuse to surveil black and latinx people and occupy their communities with military-grade law enforcement.

Pure Diction
OF THE PURITY OF DICTION
PART FIRST
THE ART OF EXPRESSION
CHAPTER I.
BARBARBARISMS
§ 1. Violations of the purity of proper diction are called Barbarisms.
There are four kinds, viz. :
Provincialisms.
Obsolete words.
Unauthorized words.
Foreign words.
Of the four, I will give a brief overview of the first.
PROVINCIALISMS
In certain regions of the country words and forms of speech come into use which do not belong to the language of well-educated English speakers. This term is also applied to pure words which have been forced by certain vulgar classes of the uneducated to assume meanings not in accordance with the Standard.
A few select examples:
Buncombe-popular favor sought by a demagogue.
Fice-a small dog.
Gump-a blockhead.
Hypped-.affected by low spirits
Larrup-whip, flog.
Pickaninny-a negro child.
Peert-(corruption of pert)-lively.
Savergous-rude and fierce in manner.
Spondiculous-coins piled for counting.
Trampoose-saunter, ramble.
Archivist find of the day as I was putting away...!!
letter to H.K
I am keeping you
As a friend
Probably I'll go first but we both know that, not in a sad way, it just seems likely
You know the heart of me and always make me feel like me
Respected
A magical and rare gift that I gained retrospectively to be able to see the person inside always despite the odds.
My sister has it for me, but has it not for Mother's shadow memory.
I see Mother's wonder person now, now
But was so angry and full of a red red rage then

WINNER OF THE 2009 NIGHTBOAT POETRY PRIZE, 2009
EXCERPTS:
A courageous act of feeling we have here, and a return of the person as a recognizable companion.
Iowa,
strict Jesus
a cock stinking belligerency.
There are hands that hold
nothing but light, and hands
that sake claim as if staking were logic.
The I is
more relaxed
when it is hunted.
--or, fat choked skin
lounges against wire fence
orifice undone
a location like any other location
incidents in the midst of unkempt propulsion
This is my melancholy fragrance, it tells everyone.
My brother’s house is hip-deep in the worry of objects.
To arrive there is a past death. Is whirring uncontrollably in red light. In naked canopies.
Before the whelp
of a certain bird, the crack of morning,
the body’s milking loss.
SPEAKING WELL LESSON I. 1. Rising and Falling Inflection Basics
Inflection is a bending or sliding of the voice either upward or downward. The upward or rising inflection is an upward slide of the voice, and is marked by the acute accent, thus, ( ' ); as in:
“It’s spoonful of shit in a barrel of honey ֜!”
The other, the downward or falling inflection is a downward slide of the voice, and is marked by the grave accent, thus, ( `); as in:
“He was fumbling awkwarlyˋ.”
The rising inflection is generally used where the sense is dependent or incomplete. This inflection is generally very slight, so as to be imperceptible to the untrained ear. You must acquire an acute and educated ear to discern it, and it is difficult to teach to distinguish it, though one is in constant use of it. Care should be taken not to exaggerate it:
“If then, his Providence', out of our evil, seek to bring forth good', our labor´ must be to prevent that end´.”
The names of persons or things addressed, when not used emphatically, are included in this rule. However, the names of persons addressed in a formal speech, or when used emphatically, have the falling inflection:
“the ladies´ in my bed.
the ladies ´ shopping with me…”
As opposed to:
“This flea` is you` and I `...”
The falling inflection, which may be considered most proper, is to be used when the sense is complete. It is nearly the same feel as with the falling of the voice at the close of a sentence, oft called cadence. You may use the terms interchangeably. this is of some great importance and requires attention if one wishes to be able to close a sentence with tact, grace, and dignity:
“The proposition was, however, rejected`, and not merely rejected`, but rejected with insult`.”
It is to note that the language of emphasis requires the falling inflection.
As in command or entreaty:
“Begone`.”
“I’m God` and you’re my acolyte`”
Also for exclamatory remarks, especially when paired with strong emotion:
“She’s as worthless as tits on a boar`!”
“Sound clearer through the atmosphere`!”
And again in a series of words; a commencing series requires a falling inflection on each word but the last, which rises; if it be a concluding series, each word but the second to last carries a falling inflection.
A series:
The sword` of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear`, the dart`, nor the habergeon`.
A commencing series:
“While K` brings down a nightstick on L`’s head,
and M` makes mustard, N` drives into town,
O` goes to bed with P´, and Q` drops dead”
A concluding series:
“Katherine`, Katherine`, Katherine`, Katherine`.
Black hair`, small cold eyes`, whom you loved`.
Cock-tease´ Katherine`, chewer of souls`.”
Circa 1897
