March 08, 2023 Women's history month poems
Hello all! I didn't do my homework, so we have poems by lovely ladies for March, rather than some fanciful sick monkey poems. Featured are "Neighbors" by Anne Spencer, "For the candlelight" by Angelina Weld Grimke, and "Ballade at Thirty-Five" & "Inscription for the Ceiling of a Bedroom" by Dorthy Parker.

March 07, 2023 The Colour Out of Space part III
Lovecraft lovers! We end this cursed drink of water today and prey for the souls that must drink from the Arkham reservoir. At least now that we know the whole story of the blasted heath. And I rambled. A lot. Even for me. My sleep schedule is all messed up. Support? Linktr.ee/frankiecore92 contact? [email protected]

February 28, 2023 The Colour Out of Space part II
More madness from H.P. Lovecraft. This time the Gardners' farm went from being colorful but bitter, to grey and decaying... or rather necrotic. And luminescent. And Ammi had to do and see some terrible things in pursuit of being a good person.

February 26, 2023 The Colour Out of Space Part I
More H.P. Lovecraft. So far, not a descent into madness, but madness from outer space?

February 21, 2023 Mini-sode 2/21
I really went more patriotic than president's day, but that's because I felt closer to it. There's also a lent/Easter poem by Emily Pauline Johnson. Also read were "I hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman and "Let America be America Again" by Langston Hughes who was highly important in the Harlem Renaissance. In fact, I feel his name is almost synonymous with the movement. Happy Black History Month, all.

February 14, 2023 Frankenstein part 1
We begin our first story today, written by the mother of science fiction: Mary W. Shelley. I appologize for the stuttering, I was outside in the wind, trying to hold my phone and my reading material at the same time. I'll do better next time. Warning: if you only know the movies, you will be confused at how this starts.

February 08, 2023 John Henry
Today I read the folk song of "John Henry" for black history month. And the take away that while being better than the machine may make you famous, it's not worth killing yourself at work. We need money in this society, but we also need to live.
