(PSA) What is Sleep? Baby Don’t Hurt Me
“Hi, class! How are you today?” “Teacher, I'm tired.” “Hi, tired! I'm Kelsey!” Yes, yes. Poor me, I know. Moan, moan, moan. There! It's out of my system, for now. Moving on.

‘This Close to Murder’ Haiku
Punchable German In dorm won't fucking shut it. Words scatter to winds. Not punchable because he's German, but he's German and he's punchable and he won't. Stop.

PS: … Continue reading ‘This Close to Murder’ Haiku

Heart races, gut churns. Whether panic or sickness, No history post. Really sorry to do this, but right now, I'm trying to discern if I'll be vomiting tonight or not. Sacrifice a chicken for me and make a nice soup from it.

(PSA) State of the Blog Address
This is the 201st post. That's something to feel good about. First thing's first: I'll be continuing the daily haiku. Second thing's second: those fake news articles are way, way, way more popular than anything else I post. My focus must consequently shift to them. I am currently working on a separate site for historical … Continue reading (PSA) State of the Blog Address
