paying attention (for Renée Nicole Good) I would hope (hope with gall in my heart, but hope regardless) that when a poet is ever doing the duty our minds have been summoned for— that is, paying attention, casting her patient eye along any scene and making sure its details are sorted somewhere for safekeeping, making sure there is some ordinary quality you can connect this to that stores it deep where you can no longer avoid it —that when that happens, on a rainy college bench or at a lonely coffeeshop table or in a shaft of light through rubble or in a driver’s seat catacorner from a theatre of terror or anywhere else, that someone else is doing what the verse summons of them: paying attention, crying out that it will not go unseen.

a poem that came spilling out today.

So deeply appreciative of anyone trying in times like this.

If online activism is a part of that for you, wonderful, make waves. But also validating those who for mental health, safety, or other reasons choose to have those big conversations and do the hard work in less public, more direct venues.

omg YES THIS

When we first started we tried to do a bi-weekly release schedule because that's just "how it's done" in podcasting but simply could not keep that pace without burning out.

Now we put new eps out much more slowly and sustainably and people have been SO KIND about it!

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times

Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well:
