Biden’s nominating a former judge who ran a debtor’s prison where her salary and office expenses came out of the fees she charged criminals, incentivizing the harshest penalties possible, to serve as the federal government’s chief prosecutor in New Orleans:

Keva Landrum locks down nomination for U.S. Attorney, source says (March 31, 2023)

President Joe Biden's administration is expected soon to formally nominate Keva Landrum, a former Orleans Parish criminal court judge, to serve as U.S. attorney in New Orleans, according to a source with knowledge of the process. The move comes nearly two years after The Times-Picayune reported she became the top choice for the prestigious post....

Just what held up her nomination remains a mystery. 

A D.A. Runoff Will Decide New Orleans’ Criminal Justice Future (Nov 23, 2020)

This messaging matches parts of Landrum’s record. During her time as DA, she drew fire for coming down hard on marijuana possession. She prosecuted repeat offenses as felonies, charges that could result in five to 20 years in prison. Before her term, the office routinely treated such cases as misdemeanors, which carry much lower penalties. Critics accused her of racking up felony convictions to make it appear that the DA’s office was tackling violent crime after New Orleans was declared a “murder capital.”...

According to the magazine Antigravity, lawyers familiar with her practices told the magazine that Landrum regularly inflicted high bonds and long sentences as a criminal court judge. 

Appeals court mulls 'debtors' prison' lawsuit against New Orleans judges (April 30, 2019)

Federal appeals court judges heard arguments Tuesday on whether state judges in New Orleans crossed a legal line by squeezing poor defendants for fines and fees that made up a big chunk of the state court's budget.

In an August decision, U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance said that it was a violation of the U.S. Constitution for the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court judges who rely heavily on fines and fees to also decide if defendants could pay them.

She said the judges also could no longer jail anyone for failing to pay court costs until the defendants had a chance to plead poverty in a “neutral forum.”

Since the ruling, Orleans judges have received a $3.8 million cash infusion from the City Council that more than plugs the budget hole from Vance's decision and another from a loss of bail fees.

Nevertheless, the judges appealed both rulings, which could hobble their ability to collect court costs in the future. Chief Judge Keva Landrum-Johnson said they did so on the advice of attorneys.

Unexplained Phenomena

Charles Fort (1874-1932) is sometimes referred to as “the father of strange phenomena.” A complex and odd fellow in his own right, Fort would scour newspapers and magazines, looking for stories of strange and extraordinary events. He would spend hours at the New York City library, writing notes and collecting what he considered “weird observations.” He traveled with his wife, Anna, seeking out these strange stories, and published several articles and books on his findings. 

Today, more than seventy years after Fort’s death, there are numerous societies and publications dedicated to Forteana, a modern-day term used for anything that is classified as unexplained. These groups attract scientists and scholars, as well as deranged crackpots and the occasional visitor from Mars. But as we like to say here at Weird California, “Keep an open mind and anything is possible.”

Like Charles Fort, we have discovered that our home state has its share of unexplained phenomena cropping up in every corner. Through our research, we’ve gathered some amazing accounts of California’s truly odd hot spots. But unlike some pseudoscientific organizations geared toward trying to solve or, worse yet, debunk these claims of unexplained activity, we prefer to simply record the events and report our findings. We will leave it to you, the reader, to contemplate the staggering possibilities and draw your own conclusions about these baffling events. Can strange and mystifying occurrences, such as antigravity vortices, curious floating lights and stones falling from the skies-which really do happen all across California-be proof of supernatural activity? Or is there a logical explanation for their existence? Whether you’re a true believer or a diehard skeptics, we’re sure that you will agree that the anomalous happenings around our state are not so easily explained away.

FLP POETRY BOOK OF THE DAY: LETTING GRAVITY SPEAK by Erika Michael

ADVANCE ORDER: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/letting-gravity-speak-by-erika-michael/

Erika Michael, a Seattle resident since 1966, received her Ph.D. in Art History from The University of Washington. She has participated in extended poetry workshops with Carolyn Forché, Thomas Lux, Linda Gregerson, Laure-Anne Bosselaar,Tim Siebles, Major Jackson, and Jeffrey Levine. Her work has appeared in Poetica Magazine, Cascade, Drash, Bracken Magazine, The Winter Anthology, Belletrist Magazine, The Dewdrop, Aletheia Literary Quarterly (Third Prize Finalist) and elsewhere. In 2019 she won first prize in the Ekphrastic Poetry Contest at the Palm Beach Poetry Festival.

PRAISE FOR LETTING GRAVITY SPEAK by Erika Michael

In Letting Gravity Speak, Erika Michael has strung fine lines to catch the gravitons of love. This stunning arrangement of poems captures and holds all the charges and contours of a great, long, complicated conjugal adventure—its vaults and plummets, its sensuous and heady immersions in wonders both outer and intimate, and, most significantly, that love’s antigravity persistence, even its intensification, through loss. Michael’s poems are elegant, bold, and sing in all the idioms of a remarkably full life. Fused here are art history, topology, street talk, Torah, deep ecology, the beloved’s brilliance, the fraying of memory, the erotic and the holy…all in a forcefield of relentless resilience that discovers joy again and again in the mystery and magnificence of the world.

–Jed Myers, author of Watching the Perseids and The Marriage of Space and Time

“Erika Michael’s debut collection is equal parts elegy and celebration, a book that bears witness to the loss of her beloved husband after nearly fifty years of marriage. We see two lives shaped by a curiosity that drove them to explore, from a train ride across the Pyrenees to the ‘coffee-dappled/ Danube,’ a curiosity that sustained Michael as she made a record of her husband’s final journey, from complex mathematical hypotheses to the halls of the memory care unit in which he struggled through his last days. In her grief, the world is described ‘as noiseless as our / kitchen in the morning without the clank / and hiss I crave, more silent than stones / that I’ve piled on your grave,’ yet we also watch her find her way back to wonder. Informed by Jewish prayers and practices, as well as the wisdom of a long life well-lived, these musical and searching poems exude vulnerability and dignity. Letting Gravity Speak exerts a gravity all its own.”

–Jessica Jacobs, author of Take Me With You, Wherever You’re Going, and Pelvis With Distance and Nickole Brown, author of Sister, Fanny Says, and The Donkey Elegies

What is a world in which work disappears?

“Time has never made any sense to me. Or rather, I am told the way I describe my experience of time does not add up. I am so disconnected from any common meter that I remain in disbelief of that sort of containment. I think this is what makes me a good whore”: so begins Irene Silt’s The Tricking Hour.

Part anti-work polemic, part sex worker’s confession, the luminous essays in The Tricking Hour envision a world organized around collective autonomy, survival, and care, instead of the compulsory exploitation of the body. Silt’s dispatches—largely composed between June 2018 and October 2019 and first published as a monthly column in New Orleans’ ANTIGRAVITY magazine—are already a cult classic in the movement for sex workers against work. Now collected in book form for the first time, with an additional essay written in 2022, The Tricking Hour is a vital account of sex, labor, and criminality in the twenty-first century.

We got chills reading this beautifully written recap of Debauch-a-Rico by Mr. Quintron. Many thanks to ANTIGRAVITY Magazine for publishing the piece.

And we highly recommend going to Goner Records and picking up Q's "Europa My Mirror" European tour diary in book form for more of his one-of-a-kind musings on music and life.

INTERVIEW: “Bulbancha is Still A Place” with Dr. Jeffery U. Darensbourg

“Bulbancha is Still A Place: Indigenous Culture from New Orleans is a new collaborative Native zine under the umbrella of the POC Zine Project. Issue #1, The Tricentennial Issue, is jammed with art, essays, history, family lore, and poetry; but superb layout ensures it never feels overwhelming. If, like me, you aren’t very conversant with the indigenous history of our region (even if, like me, you’d sort of thought you were), reading Bulbancha is like being invited into a wide-ranging conversation full of new ideas, new words, new perspectives, and new voices. “Contributing Editor-Who’s-Not-a-Chief ” Dr. Jeffery U. Darensbourg, a member of the Atakapa-Ishak Nation of Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, kicks off the issue with a piece titled “Decolonizing the Tricentennial of New Orleans.” His essay firmly, unequivocally rejects the idea of New Orleans’ 300th anniversary—and even the name New Orleans. This bracing refusal carves out an immense psychogeographical space for the rest of the zine to unfold and expand into. As Darensbourg says, before the colonists tried to name this place, it was already a place… and it’s still a place. I spoke with Dr. Darensbourg about the zine and its ideas.”
