Congrats to @stanchion.bsky.social and @writesloud.bsky.social for making the 100 notable small press books list for 2025!

A reminder that gas-powered leafblowers are nightmare devices that are bad for you, bad for your lawn, and very bad for the environment. They fume and scream and kill the world all so you can messily and ineffectively move leaves around, leaves which are generally supposed to stay where they fell.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

I'm really enjoying these experimental and moving poems. Check out @songsofkat.bsky.social Kat Lehmann's free microchap from @ghostcitypress.bsky.social !

North, by Seamus Heaney, published 50 years ago, June 1975.

As you probably heard, Amazon is coming for Ireland. It’ll come for our small shops, it’ll come for our department stores, and it’ll come for our media, our journalism, and our democracy.

Students disappeared by ICE for dissent. International scientists deported for private emails. Judges threatened with impeachment. Media outlets branded “illegal” for criticising the President. Journalists banned by the White House for fact-checking. The 1930s are screaming their warning at us.

"The value of the an essay" is in the writing of it, the cognitive challenges and problem-solving, the formal, semantic crafting of thought into language, the engendering of thought through the writer's engagement with language, none of which is found in an undefined "ability to use AI well."

The CSU's literally *shutting majors & firing faculty* at the same time as it *pays multi-millions to Silicon Valley companies* for this climate-disaster plagiarism machine. It's unconscionable. The money (state money!) is being siphoned from students/faculty, for the CSU to be tech bro paradise.

16 Democratic senators recently voted to confirm the Trump-appointed Treasury Secretary who just gave Musk’s team access to a Treasury payment system that disburses trillions and holds mass quantities of personal information. Food for thought. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
