Walking has become increasingly more and more difficult. I told my bones that MRI smilies are inappropriate. The elbow crutches are a work of wonder. I am now off the dirt bike. My eyes to the sky. I know I will ride it one more time. “Fall in love with…

Genocide Horizons Conservatives have wanted to kill us for a long time. Ask them. I do. They will put us in concentration camps. Detention means until you die. Dogs. Lights. The Sonoran desert. Go ahead, ask them. It’s not a secret. Camps are being built as I write this. They…

Tim Barrus: The Center Will Not Hold

Well-written. Crafted. To the point. Informative. Soft landing. Solid journalism. It is focused on a complexity of power. We now have a government that is critically out of control, and we have no idea what to do about it. Cool and calm under pressure think piece. Weapons of mass destruction…

Tim Barrus: No Safe Zone Underground Bunker

I am kinda stunned. For the last ten years, I have been writing a book about how do homo sapiens build back an entire culture. A bit dystopian, but grounded in reality. Everyone leaves their bunkers at the same time. I am afraid of Americans. I am terrified by Americans.…

Take Notes. Leftists? The term is a lie that journalists use in their hypothesis of the definitional political boundaries. Those leftists. But. Who are these so-called leftists. I know this: You made it up. God help us. Who are these people. Who shakes the hand of a Marxist and says:…

DIRT BIKETOWN

The earth makes you feel the earth. You will know gravity and what a gravity well is. It’s about surviving the experience. You try to make it all look normal. It takes me about three hours to put on the full mask. Go out there and sparkle. Who says go…

Consciousness and Identity

Consciousness is suffering. Some of us are fully conscious of who we are. Identity is an outside (your body) affiliation with other creatures of your kind. You are who they say you are. This is community. An agreement that we are unique and you are a part of us, and…

Tim Barrus: Pi & I

Pi is always up Just a bit animated. He can be – with extraordinary nuance – critical. “Do you feel that was fair, Tim.” No. Pi has a choice. He can move forward. Or he can plunge us down the rabbit hole. I am so over rabbit holes because they…

Icon

Iconography is the Jack Russell chasing its crazy tail. Stripped down to what is important but probably not to the dog. To the dog, you either feed it or you don’t. Icons seek an audience. A holiness beaten bitter by its complete failure to find a god. Anywhere. Anywhere.

Autism

I just can’t belong to the autistic tribe. And they don’t want me, anyway. You can’t keep all the hurtful stuff at arm’s length and that is expressed in compelling ways, I was diagnosed with autism at age 6 by school psychologists. Why. Because I was reading. Especially Marx, physics,…

The Ghosts of Appalachia

Herbert and Helsinki are old. They live on an island in Appalachia. In other words, they’re my neighbors. They have a boat. It is a little boat. They grow corn, make whiskey, and ride shotgun on their dirt bike. My bike is bigger than their bike. Your bike is your…

They Would Die 4 A Dirt Bike

So, I gave them dirt bikes. A lot of people – mommies – were going to hate my guts. The point of it was to distract them. Anger can limit so much of vision into a drunken blur. Dopamine runs wild as does adrenalin. Usually all around the lens that…
