Rehearsing being spontaneous for the reading.
Quick warning about a new scam targeting writers that we've suddenly had about 20 authors reach out about in the last few days: book club requests! A fake book club reaches out saying how much they want to feature your book. They frequently ask for a full PDF and some cash. Be safe out there.

Compiling notes for my translation.
Kurt Cobain stands in front of a theater marquee in Times Square, NYC, 1993, with Jenny Holzer text work that reads "MEN DON'T PROTECT YOU ANYMORE"
I regrettably missed Kurt Cobain's birthday yesterday but am still going to use the opportunity to post one of the all time great photos of him: in Times Square in 1993 with Jenny Holzer theater marquee
Surely all this is not without meaning.

This is one of my favorite books ever. Thank you.
Pam Bondi is literally saying what does it matter if we let rich men rape and traffick kids if the economy is doing well (it is not).
There it is y'all.
Naked, unabashed late-stage capitalism.

Teaser: we’re getting ready to do an open call for queer artists at the gallery where a series of work will be exhibited and turned into a very small run edition of prints. This is the poster. Keep an eye out!
Holding out hope…
Loved this.
Me?
Still translating #elfriedejelinek and finished my version of her poem “adventure” (she gave title of English word) today…
24 more poems to go… @sevenstories.bsky.social (Greed) @yalepress.bsky.social (the Children of the Dead) @poetryfoundation.bsky.social (spring, contempt, our motorbike, tonight)
Makes me so happy—so sick of the ugly POTUS’s face, body, slime.
haiku in my handwriting reads: that old narrative I run around the park track the blue jays are back
#haiku from before it got colder again.
Thanks!
Ready to learn about Pauli Murray.
I heard she did a commendable, impressive, not to be missed job with it.

"Femmunist Intimations," my contribution to the eflux journal masculinities issue. Which includes a tribute to one of my teachers, Raewyn Connell.
We haven’t gotten there yet…. I’m sort of in?
The FIFA trophy for Trump, gold hands reaching up to a gold planet....
The desperate hands of the global south seek to take back an overheated world. Seriously, what's next? The McHamburglar trophy in gourmet cooking? The Pol Pot Human Rights medal? The Jeffrey Epstein childcare grant? The Vladimir Putin democracy fellowship? The Weinstein-Cosby feminism prize?
