Embarking on a pretty long trip today, with many short legs & transfers; a perfect opportunity to dip into this all-star short-story collection from Thee Ron Earl Phillips & Shotgun Honey - Flash subs now open. #FridayReads

Ingenious condom vending machine on the street in Portugal. Look at that selection! "The street finds its own use for things." 😄Excellent use of tech.

Stranger in a strange forest filled with roosters, peacocks, & Guinea fowl. #Terceira

Sitting in a bar/bookstore listening to a guy across the room playing harpsichord while we eat THIS! Everybody loves a Saturday night. #Terceira

Sniffing out 4-leaf clovers & local bookstores are my only super powers, but they serve me well. 😄 Lar Doce Livro is the best date night on #Terceira.

Unexpectedly in Horta on Faial tonight. Digging the view.

Bwahahahahahahahaha! 😂 Yup. It's Twitter. Always will be.

Was beginning to fear it wouldn't happen, but we finally made it to Corvo Island & circumnavigated the caldera. A great grey heron met us at the bottom. Hard to believe this place is real. #Azores

This dive bar jukebox doesn’t play anything newer than 1969. What’s your first pick?

Stating at a duck farm on Flores tonight. From a distance, the ducks blend into the island's ubiquitous hydrangeas. Good camo for sitting ducks.

Today is the official launch of my poetry collection, MEXICANS ON THE MOON:SPECULATIVE POETRY FROM A POSSIBLE FUTURE! To celebrate the occasion, I made carnitas tacos!!! 🇲🇽 If this book finds itself in your hands, I hope you enjoy! bookshop.org/p/books/mexica…

I keep thinking I've seen the coolest thing in the #Azores, & then I turn the next corner & see 20 waterfalls cascading down a cliff face into the sea.

Found this in our hotel library in Lomba, Flores Island, the Azores. Absolutely wonderful. #VacationReads

View from the bottom of a volcano looking up. #Azores

Every time... Taxi driver: "Have a good flight." Me: "Thanks, you too!" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦

Back in USA today after a week abroad. It felt good to escape our perennial fear & anxiety + the anger we usually mask it with. I wish every NRA-owned politician could watch foreign coverage of "the latest" latest school massacre to see just how batshit it looks from the outside.
