Some of these lines, "to swim through the inky black bruise of my memory spread out on the floor, spread out on the solar system" is what having a leaky brain barrier felt like to me before anyone said the words "leaky brain barrier"

bruise of my own memory spread out on the floor, spread out on the solar system, everything I understood so impossibly far away. It was dems all the way up when I was so scared for my life, so scared for my life. I'm sos cared for my life. It was dems

the way up when I listed kinds of fatigue for the doctors at USC, stayed in my apartment for most of a thousand days, couldn't stand for more than 10 minutes at a time, wondered if I'd survive more than a couple years post infection, barely ate for an entire year, had to swim through the inky black

Poem's text - UNTITLED It was dems all the way up when I contracted covid through my cloth mask at the grocery store, lay awake in bed for over 24 hours feeling like my heart might explode too afraid to go to the hospital, crying because it hurt to lift my phone and look. It was dems all (cont'd)

This was a tender milestone and I'm grateful to @kristenleigh.bsky.social et al for the opportunity. It was so fun to receive my copies in newspaper form, there's something so whimsical about it.

My periodic reminder that Sarah Palin (quite correctly) called for Rahm Emmanuel to be fired when he used the "R" word.

And my periodic reminder that maybe a political reporter wants to ask her what should happen when Trump uses it.

Like any reporter.

I keep having to tell people eugenics didn’t start with Trump.
