Today i set up a text replacement shortcut that replaces the letters “h a ha h a” (no spaces, just three ha’s strung together – couldn’t type them without spaces or it would trigger the shortcut ha ha ha) with a long string of ha ha ha’s. So much pointing and laughing at stuff in the news yesterday which not only deserved to be pointed and laughed at but NEEDED to be ridiculed and laughed at while doing something about it. Pointing and laughing at bullies is of course to disarm them but they may hit you on the way out of the playground. So be it. You do ridiculous things, me and my friends are going to laugh at you. And my friends allowed me a wonderful night’s sleep because I’d laughed so hard at their over the top responses to the initial ridiculous post and the explanation of it. Enough said. On a mac you can find this by going to System Settings and searching for “Text Replacement” and then using the little plus sign to add your own set of words. Use the Force wisely my friends.

in the forests of twittering
on the plains beneath blue skies
where every book’s face is known as
if it were our own reflection
as if wooly mammoths grazed here
touch grass touch grass feel today’s wind
walking around the yard, my plot
my two acres of field, wood, stream
when instant knowledge is too much
the what-ifs are overwhelming
the dread cascading through timelines
I go out the door, to breathe deep
the new air just arrived from all points
full of birdsong, full of weather.
