Calibri though? #typography Elle Cordova 2025-01-01 | This was a bold choice.UPDATE: the font sleuths of the internet have determined that this is not actually Calibri, but rather Kia’s very Calibriesque proprietary font called “Kia Signature.” And now that I think about it, this does go a long way toward explaining how the design choice got the final OK. Thanks for your service, everyone!

The Ballad of the Ballot Elle Cordova 2024-11-04 | The Ballad of the BallotWhen I was just a young treeMy mama told meThat someday I’d grow big and strongBut at my small heightI never got enough lightSo it seems that my mama was wrong Then the ax man came And they hauled me away To the paper mill down the roadAnd some noisy machinesSpooled me into reams ofCard stock to take down your voteNow I admit I’m a lot With all my measures and props I’m a ballot with lots on my mindI got races for placesin courtrooms and stations,the White House and more on the lineBut my fear, to be frank Is that you’ll just leave me blankI’ll be crumpled and tossed in the binThis is my chance to countSo won’t you please fill me outGood luck, and may the candidate whowho isn’t clearly an aspiring dictator, who listens to scientists instead of capitalizing on misinformation, who puts the future of our planet before the profits of polluters, and who will uphold the basic tenets of our democracy instead of undermine the election results in a selfish grasp at power — win.

A poem inspired by @hankschannel talking about the #BigBang 💫posted one year ago today! Elle Cordova 2024-04-05 | One year ago today I wrote this space poem inspired by @hankgreen talking about the moments before the Big Bang. The unintentional singsong way Hank said that up/down side/side bit sounded poetic to me, so I stitched his video and expanded those two lines into a whole rhyming poem about the “time before events.”This post changed everything for me. It introduced me to a new, wider audience on TiKTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and it marked a shift in the type of stuff I wanted to create and share. I had previously only been posting my music online, but after sharing this poem, I started branching out into more poetry, sketch comedy, thought experiments, curiosity songs/parodies, and all the other things that make up this page today. I love creating on this app, and I feel so lucky to have found my way to each and every person reading this now. Thank you for coming along for the ride!

Emily Dickinson Elle Cordova 2024-02-24 | Emily Dickinson - Elle CordovaI’m gonna teach a little lessonSo you best be listeninCause I won’t have any literary critics omitting thisSee the greatest of the poems already been writtenIt’s by a spooky little 👻 Named Emily Dickinson Got a thirst for a verse outta Amherst Want the whole damn poem not the excerptI’ll take it down and come back for dessert Cause there ain’t nobody baking up bars like herCaps for emphasis she was lyrically sensuous Dedication to a woman But the censor won’t mention itAnd her rhymes weren’t quite straight either Slanting harder than the tower of Pisa Caught them other poets lacking Sent em packing Now they’re hacks in the backseatAsking whyWhat’s special about the buzz of a fly?But she’s done canonical she’s lastingShe was living all alone almost all of her lifeExcept a few Wild Nights with Sue on the slyShe was banging out bangers till 55 When a man in a carriage Stopped to give her a ride
