I wanted to thank those of you who stepped up to donate funds and have offered to send used gear to support my student Gavin at the outset of his film journey. As a community, we have raised $150 to help with #film and developing costs for him. He still needs a tripod and a camera bag.

Dishsoap Quarterly@dishsoapquart.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Piece with a whole lot of energy and buckets of heart up for y'all this week. Enjoy "My Father Bought a Generator in 1997 and It Is Still Running" from Oluwanifemi Bakare Link: dishsoap-quarterly.com/3-24-26

The generator's name is Mike. I named it this when I was six because it was loud and it came on at night and it smelled like something working hard, which seemed like a Mike kind of thing. My father thought the name was funny and then forgot he thought it was funny and started calling it Mike too, and then my mother started calling it Mike, and now when NEPA takes the light — which is always, which is every day, which is the basic grammar of existence in this country — someone shouts Mike! from wherever they are in the house and my uncle who is actually named Mike no longer flinches because he has learned that the house has two of him and one of him requires petrol. Mike the generator is twenty-seven years old. I have friends who are younger than Mike the generator. Mike has survived three house moves, two floods, a thunderstorm that bent the zinc roof of the outdoor shed at a forty-five degree angle, and my father's periodic conviction that he could fix Mike himself, which always ends the same way: my father crouched over Mike's open body with a wrench and a look of deep personal betrayal, and then the mechanic from down the road arriving on his okada and fixing it in eight minutes flat for five hundred naira. The mechanic is also named Mike. We pay him in cash and sometimes in fried plantain and he has never once commented on the coincidence. What I am trying to tell you is something about reliability. About the way that in the absence of reliable things, the things that do work become sacred. Mike the generator is sacred. We do not speak harshly in Mike's presence. We do not run Mike dry. We check Mike's oil with the seriousness of a man checking his own pulse. When Mike coughs — and Mike coughs sometimes, a low diesel cough that means the petrol is getting low or the air filter needs cleaning — there is a quality of attention in the house that I have never felt in any other context. Everyone listens. No one moves.

Just a thought: I can’t believe that deer kill 440 people a year in the US. Vehicle wrecks involving deer might. But if a deer gored a human to death every day in the US, we’d have heard about it long ago.

Mountain lions are making American roads safer by frightening away deer. On Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, where cougars were most active, deer-vehicle collisions fell 76%. Deer kill up to 440 Americans a year; cougars have killed 29 Americans since 1868. buff.ly/9bDfEKZ #ShareGoodNewsToo

But in the end, [poems and] stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I’m saying? Does it feel this way to you?”~Kazuo Ishiguro
