Hey, Iβll add here that performance reviews for neurodivergent people can be outright traumatic. They need to stop.

Fengβs poem (May/June American Poetry Review) speaks to working poets out there, and to everyone who is subject to these stupid evaluations. And now with AI aiding in the construction and writing the reviews of our effectiveness, our βsuccessβ, now can we finally call B.S. on performance reviews?
#bonzo is classic.

"Moving toward liberation requires all of us to care β about where we are going, but also about each other. This means, revolutionize your friendships, have friends that are aligned with your vision of the world you want to live in.
This is spiritual work."
Hear the words of Stephanie Andrea Allen (NIP). Start (again) where we are. Literary movements. In person. Ground ourselves in the people we live with and around. & at 35:57 Eesha Pandit speaks to telling a story as a feminist practice. The whole session is great! #communityofwriters #feministpress
Stories shape culture. In a time when book bans, censorship, & attacks on women's voices are ramping up, one of the most powerful things we can do is amplify stories that matter. Letβs make sure stories by Women+ and BIPOC authors are not erased! Book list & sign-up link in bio. #communityofwriters

Read, share, act.
Yes. Plus, there's something about the suggestion that we stop using the bad channels that feels like someone telling me to shut up. And it's not the Bad Tech Bros. It all feels unsettling and sad.

I see people deactivating various social media accounts, which I understand & respect, but Iβm done letting Bad Tech Brosβ’οΈ chase me out of my community spaces.
Maybe there are no more βgood places.β Maybe there are only good people doing their best to navigateβ& use for goodβproblematic spaces.

If you need some optimism in your reading world, I highly recommend giving this collection of essays/interviews a read. Weβve heard all the doom about our climate emergency. βWhat If We Get It Rightβ takes a moment to share a vision of the future if we do make changes. Itβs hope, for a change.
My 8 y/o niece and I made this comic. Seems like a good one to keep handy. Sheβs so fβing rad. #donthate #dohats AND I just heard @alisonbechdel.bsky.social has a new book coming out! #reasonstolive
Passing it on. From #NEpdx #imstillpissedtho
this genuinely, without exaggeration, healed a little fracture inside of me that has been broken my whole adult life
And when you try to leave the stores by passing through closed-off security gates! Once I tried to leave (I couldn't find my favorite trail mix :) & I still had to go through the security gates--there was NO OTHER WAY out. Big panic. I always fear I will be wrongly accused.
Congratulations to all of our finalists and winners! www.bookcritics.org/2025/01/23/n...
βEmbrace reality as it isβ¦Embrace action and practice. Embrace the possibilities in everyday life. Embrace mystery, learning, and the brutality of the truth. In times of authoritarianismβ¦Letβs gather with the people we trust and the resources we have and get started.β
