Ghost Dog
Ghost Dog by Wes Modes.
“Benzy and I went out on a little motorcycle adventure to break the stir-crazy. We got a sandwich at Masoods and hiked out to enjoy our lunch in the sunshine sitting on an old disused railway bridge over a stream at the bottom of a steep gully. A funny shy dog came to visit us. We were sure it wanted to befriend us but was too bashful. He warmed up to us enough to lick the meat juice at the bottom of our sandwich box. It hung out for a bit looking this way and that. Finally, gathering up his courage, he leapt over us and continuing down the tracks on his own self-guided walk. We realized it didn’t want to make friends with us, and only wanted to cross the bridge.”
Here’s a link to Wes’ art .

What the Sweet Jesus Is This?
This is Unavoidable Disaster. Comin’ atcha monthly. Devoted contributors from across the globe. With a readership in the dozens.
This is a place for all those sketchy black market schemes you’re working on, from selling your own under-the-FDA-radar honey from your own hives, pimping your sexy cam-girl biz for geeky hipsters, marketing that funky zine you put together, mail-order mixtapes for nostalgic millennials, selling your kidneys, unauthorized private detective work, back-alley abortions, sharing copies of the local bakery dumpster key, and promoting your black market insulin racket.
It’s also the place to share your crafty knowledge in the form of public service messages, like
your tips for shoplifting from Whole Foods, ways to scam free cable, DIY surgery, and don’t ask/don’t tell vegan recipes.
Also, we love your art. Let’s be real, no one will ever pay you for it, so you might as well give it away here. Drawings, pen and ink, collage, paintings, digital sketches, whatchu got?
So submit yr shit before the 25th which is the deadline for next month. This thing is kinda whachu make it.

Goodbye 2020
Thinking about 2020 – folk being ready to rip the last page from the calendar and look to 2021 being easier – yes, and… this year has brought challenges and important lessons and potential changes and possibilities too! Ah, so much more I could write about this! A lot has been shaken up that needed to be – and doesn’t mean isn’t hard … in many ways harder and more harm done to carry on as “normal” when things are so far from healthy (serving needs etc) – I feel this at societal and personal level. I’m also thinking about my own patterns and habits that might have made sense at one point but not now… bringing awareness to them and commitment to enacting new choices – that’s also related to how I/we relate to larger systems in this society. Whew! A life long practice! And on many levels, may new growth emerge from the ashes of 2020.

Goats Are Cute
This is a found poem form I devised myself, though it’s possible someone else devised it earlier–idk. It’s a kind of erasure poem where all the words are contiguous. You look for the thread of a poem within a block of prose and carve it out. I usually do this with physical text & scissors, but this one is from a public domain text I found online and carved out digitally & embellished with mouse-drawn goats.

I hear the expression ‘eats like a bird’ — it-it’s really a fals-fals-fals-falsity. Because birds really eat a tremendous lot. But I-I don’t really know anything about birds. My hobby is stuffing things. You know — taxidermy. And I guess I’d rather stuff birds because I hate the look of beasts when they’re stuffed — you know, foxes and chimps. Some people even stuff dogs and cats — but, oh, I can’t do that. I think only birds look well stuffed because — well, because they’re kind of passive to begin with.

Death to the old myths!
Feeling the season continue to change – late fall into winter is a great time to reflect and release that which doesn’t nourish us – individually and collectively… and make room for what does.

I also remember ancient typewriters that lacked the “1” key…
