On This Day

April 19, 2025

On this day, a mama worried about her son at boot camp. A red bird sang by the moon. Costumed teenagers lined up for an Anime Fest. Fairies, ninjas, Sonic the Hedgehog, Michael the Distortion, and a T-rex walked past two women with a sign that read “Free Bible Class.”

Gorilla, octopus, and dragon kites dipped and gilded near a battleship. A boat car was driven on Highway 98. A mattress and bedframe were bungeed to the top of a truck. “I'm blessed” was written in the dirt on the back windshield of another.

All on this day.
