One fun thing to do at AWP is to start a timer at the beginning of the Q&A section and stop it the first time someone has “more of a comment than a question”
TFW you almost forget to buy your AWP registration before it goes up $175.

"AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed" so succinct! so good!
Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!
Some things masks can’t hide.
Dear Ezra Klein, bodily autonomy is not a bargaining chip. What rights are you willing to give up? Let’s see you walk the talk. The burger is on me. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...
I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol.
Not because of vaccines.
Not because of some headline.
I’m autistic because that’s how
my brain works. Stop treating us
like a problem. Start listening to us.
What movie do you consider "perfect?"
I mean, seriously, the amount of nonsense this is is very high
Worth noting that the highest profile and most successful Democratic elected official currently in those states is Laura Kelly, the Governor of Kansas, who seems to not believe in Ezra Klein’s theory of politics!
I’ve read a billion books and watched a million films and documentaries about the rise of fascism in Europe in the 30s and I really never thought being one of the fascism noticers would feel like this but here we are
Thank you, Erin! I'm sorry you've had to go through this as well.
Thank you, Jeremy! Yeah, it's been a little rough. Hopefully I'll be getting relief in the next few weeks after this Botox treatment 🤞
Ok so in case yall missed the memo like I did. David Lehman, series editor of Best American Poetry is a Zionist ass. Literally feel embarrassed that I wound up in this situation. I was literally the only person of color in a room of 50+ people. It was terrifying.

Anyone with student loans serviced by MOHELA and on SAVE still not seeing interest accrue? It's been over a month! Mainly curious bc my loan interest is gonna be like ~$220/month.
Today was Botox round 2 for migraines. My neuro is convinced this one will help, and I'm still trying to be optimistic. Today is also Day 179 of daily migraines. Here's hoping this stops them before I hit the half-year mark 🤞
Thank you! Just had my second Botox this morning, so hopefully I'm rounding the corner 😊
I'm so glad it ended! It's so rough to go through days-long bouts. Hoping you stay headache-free!
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment:
"To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Just putting this out there. Not on any AWP panels in Baltimore, but I do plan on coming. If you're looking for readers, I might be interested 👀
Also, if you've got a panel, let me know! Excited to be hitting the East Coast for the first time ever in March 😊
Less than two weeks away! Come by the Replay to hear some rad music and words.
Hearing of this "news" for the first time as I paused from playing Elden Ring is quite something. Now I'm picturing him as Rykard. He'd feed himself to a serpent just to fuck the world over, right?
Yes, congrats to Ghassan as well!! DEARBORN is so, so good!
