No one at work knows I’m listening to a playlist of ska punk classics and that’s the only reason I’m in a slightly better mood than usual.

Sorry, was wuthering on main

Happy third birthday to this cutie of a collection.

Find me a job naming plants, please.

Love these! Happy pub day @aaronburch.bsky.social!

Some of my favorite records have alt-cover art or are stenciled over to commemorate record release shows or fests. In that vein, I’m thinking of making a custom AWP stencil to paint over this book for select limited edition copies.

Signing books. Reading poems. Hanging with friends. Things are looking up in March!

Today’s used book haul

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

One of my favorite things is to buy a book and like it so much that I can’t take a break from the story, so I buy the audiobook as well for when I’m not able to read, then get sad when I have to spend more money on books because I finished it in two days.

I love dog show photos. www.npr.org/sections/the...

How to write a nature poem

Apparently my parents are coming to this now. Come watch me trauma dump in front of them! It’ll be fun!

The official Celestial Seasonings IG posted my sleepytime bear tattoo today 😭

i'm not smart but i can put together painful, pretty words (against my will)

A nice ol' urinal poem of mine for #smallpoemsunday and @tomsnarsky.bsky.social (previously published in @andchangepoetry.bsky.social)

I was having a tough mental health day and had to leave work early, but I stopped at Trader Joe’s on the way home and subsequently learned about “ice cube lettuce.” I then bought two teeny tiny lettuce heads and life is once again worth living.

Finalized my latest manuscript. Then decided to shuffle around the sequence again. Final_final_final_v06.

It’s the small joys like this that get us through the toughest days.

If you rightly believe poetry and indie lit is an act of rebellion, then this is your chapbook, your mosh pit, your community.

Love and warmth and solidarity

This tiny book is an ode to hardcore punk, a subculture that taught me to speak up & speak loudly. These poems hate ICE, they hate AI, & they hate fascism in all its despicable forms. Support if you can by preordering, & please take care of each other. “Let us all // grow hoarse with empathy.”

The specificity and nuance of these data points are beyond ominous. And considering the people collecting this information, it feels a bit too on the nose.

Well deserved, Jon!
