Cruel Summer

turn me up then


There is a _______ version of the song I’ve been kicking myself wanting to perform. Its a cruel summer. The hottest days on record keep ticking off. We have yet to crest in the season. An life goes on. Shout out to all those trying to make it in the struggle. I’m not here to sell you the cure.

I’ve started a year long appointment teaching full time at ________________________ __________________. To give the landscape it is across from _______________________. I have a lot to say about this, in good faith, the school to prison pipeline is strong. With more than a third of the schools population being ___________, a distinction noted in the funding model of _________, I’m sure the board has a lot to say about it as well. Let us say we all work in good faith. One of those tricky things.

_____________ where i have been in residency since may is closing its doors. I am its last artist in residence at the ______________. I was talking with someone, I can’t remember who, about how often I have been present at the closing of spaces. In reality these are the situations that stick with me more than the others and are likely less indicative of some part of my presence in the process. I don’t want to attach myself as a symptom of the end times, just something to think about. I don’t know it probably less than 50 percent.

Some dates one note. February, _____________ will be presenting our second exhibition during ______________. Its going to be a big event. I’m really excited about this. Were bringing in 2 new artists to the program and maybe another mystery artist. Very exciting. I can say I’m actually proud to present this. I love ____________ and to share it through the work with new and old friends is really exciting and validating. In march I’ve got a big project in ____________ I’m still trying to get lined up. There is one venue left to secure, the work is already a few months in progress. November I may be going to ________. I haven’t been to _________ in memory. _________ already gives me a lot of anxiety.

Over the next few months I'll be pulling things from the archive for your listening pleasure. Maybe there will be a few interviews in there, there are a few folks I’ve been meaning to catch up with.  The explicit content is behind the pay wall if you’re wondering where all that is. This space is part of developing my PhD research and I’m not trying to get snaked. One of my friends was talking to me about their paranoia and they’re not wrong. Its hard not to take it personal even if it isn’t. Anyways.
