https://4and20blackbirds.wordpress.com/2015/04/30/bad-parenting
Blogging the politics and culture of Missoula and Montana and everywhere else beyond. April 30, 2015 in Montana. The story of a detained 11 year old first caught my attention because Lego click bait. Because I like Legos, like a lot. My 6 year old likes Legos as well, so when he’s shopping for Legos, I’m always attending his searches and purchases. The story of a detained 11 year old is ridiculous. It comes via BoingBoing. May 1, 2015 at 3:01 pm. The stupidity of humans is unfathomable. People get what I...

Blogging the politics and culture of Missoula and Montana and everywhere else beyond. The Detroit of Sufjan Stevens’ Imagination. April 29, 2015 in Montana. I’ve been listening incessantly to the new Sufjan Stevens album,. My parents yes, they wanted to live in Indian Village, but couldn’t afford it, of course. So we just lived, like, a few roads down, in a little duplex. But they told all their friends they lived in Indian Village. I remember when Nancy Kerrigan got the shit beat out of her. I mean,...

Blogging the politics and culture of Missoula and Montana and everywhere else beyond. Arby’s: Something to Fill the Emptiness With. May 13, 2015 in Montana. But before I do that, I’d like to draw some attention to a collection of poems I first read 3 years ago, titled Letters To Wendy’s. I wrote a post about this collection of poems, which you can read here. I just reread the post, and had to kind of chuckle at this somewhat audacious claim:. If the poet who wrote. Letters to Wendy’s. So eat Arby’s.

Blogging the politics and culture of Missoula and Montana and everywhere else beyond. Beyond Thugs: Understanding Baltimore. May 2, 2015 in Montana. While some white people. Want to focus on what those thugs were doing in Baltimore this week, it might be more illuminating to focus on why. The violence that erupted at the beginning of the week was sparked by a ridiculous overreaction. To a high school rumor. The concern over a “purge” of violence now appears to be quite unfounded:. The real-world, non-soc...

June 19, 2012 in Montana. This post was updated. Tonight I sit with two very different pieces of writing, both which leave me with a “did they really say that” feeling.
