AWP Day 2!
AWP Day 2!
Really????
What's next, the Department of Death?
Feel like I should just mention that I have extreme RBF at all times so if you see me at #awp and think damn who pissed in her cheerios, fear not! As Iβve been telling my mom for years: βthis is just my faceβ. You can say hi, I wonβt bite (unless you deserve it)
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was just days away from returning home to her husband and two children when a drone strike in Kuwait killed her and five others.
had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane
Dont you dare if you do I definitely will. Stay strong. We can introvert so hard after
Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power
Yeah, Tillis voted for Noem and these other shitbirds and he owns part of this mess. But for people who still have a shred of a conscience, that's going to make them more invested in righting what's gone wrong. We should all encourage that.
one thing you could definitely talk me into doing at #awp is getting a spontaneous tattoo
So the State Department is forcing everyone to immediately leave the region but is also refusing to help people leave the region.
The strike itself is illegal and disastrous but their lack of readiness for what comes next is unforgivable as well.
Incompetence everywhere.
Classic Atlantic to do a piece about how someone is reg'lar guy using a word most people had to look up (maul).
all of this will be much harder to fight, endure, outlast if we are all weak and frail. we need energy and strength. Eat!
"...it is important to realize that the 1979 Iranian revolution was no revolution at all. It was a cunning bait-and-switch."
If you don't know your Iranian history, feels like a good moment to learn. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/o...
Is that your submission?
Thrilled to have a new CNF in @whaleroadreview.bsky.social , a magazine Iβve long admired. Grateful to the awesome @katiemanningpoet.bsky.social for letting me dip my toes in the illustrious waters of this new issue. π³ πΊοΈ π

I have service member friends being deployed, urging us to call our reps and beg for impeachment proceedings. Hits extra hard coming from them.
I hope I run into you!!
My first semester teaching at the college level, September 11th happened. I had a student who said he was being deployed, and I never saw him again. I've thought about that for years. How cavalierly our country sends young people to war. For what?
I think itβs hilarious we all scrutinize his body closely for signs The End is near. I cannot ever recall doing this about anyone. Itβs a shame theyve brought out this side of me.
one of the neat things about submitting to the fancier lit mags is that by the time they send you a rejection all the cells in your body have been replaced with newer cells, they're not rejecting you but as past version of yourself, how quaint
Just what the doctor ordered

Hey there! Do you see how things are in this Sky of skies? Were you expecting the worm moon to get mean with its eclipse? Absurd! What the worm moon likes best is pathways, tunnels, puzzles made into other puzzles. #65 features new works by 21 high authors, just look-see!

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.
They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.
We do not have serious people running our country.
This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? Weβll talk to some liars after this break.
Itβs a scary day.
If youβre an empath, have a religious or spiritual practice, even if you donβt β take even 3 deep breaths, followed by long exhalations. Sit in stillness, even for 5 minutes. Observe your thoughts. Youβre still here. Breathing, as well as people who love you and all of humanity.
