Thank you @carriganak.bsky.social ! I loved the concrete detail and emotional honesty of your poem! I was really grateful for the inspiration and empowerment to write a poem in a similar vein.
You go in. You quicken.

I can be dumb, vain, clueless.
There are a lot of ‘rules’ for how to look genuine on social media that don’t reckon with the fact that each of us truly being authentic in how we use social media, would, by definition, each look unique. Your account’s never off-putting to me. 🩵 I share the feeling!
grass roots collaborations between artists, shop owners, and presses are how we persist. through local distribution, Australian trans stories cross oceans without steep postage; and through partnership, alliances of support and mutual aid are strengthened and forged. make art. build bonds.
Are we paying our taxes this year or…

I used to be so adamant about having the speakers of my poems all use punctuation marks one exact way so that my language could be literally dissected, but now I've got millions of speakers-of-my-poems who would never use the same punctuation marks at all let alone in the same way. 😂

AND I DON'T WANT THEM
Poem with Attention and Fabric Shears I am watching my friend live on a remnant of love a swatch of fabric with pinked edges and all I can think is that I want the whole bolt of love clumsy and tumbling unwound in yards around my body by Han VanderHart

of love

a conversation i read years ago that still twists the knife
Returning to one of my drafting habits I had 10-13 years ago, and I love that this is a thing that can happen in one's life.
hi. i got hit with news that was absolutely blindsiding today and am unsure how i am going to pay my bills this month. i started a gofundme. this is really fucking hard for me to do; please share.

I miss when we could all "discourse" because we actually had to respect and reckon with the fact that we were a diverse community -and nuance our boundaries and evolve together-, and I've found that having both bluesky and insta helps me not be in an echo chamber of one pocket of us or another.
ME. Come back! <3
Also, um. The opposite set of strengths and weaknesses / pros and cons of bluesky? haha. I find I really enjoy using it as long as I use it totally wrong.
what do you mean getting stuck at the top of a 23ft tree for the sake of "immersive research" for my writing is not what they meant by "method writing" help me down
The good thing about fixing a poem is you always end up with a second poem
this one by Sara Anam hit like a brick, absolutely had to share this powerful one-two punch
