What they have not told you is that the immigration detention system is not processing people, it is accumulating them. The math shows how fast; the history shows what comes next.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.

“her hair #craze-lit of #ten honeyed marigolds, #slender silhouette draped in #pale amber dusk, quivering, thread-strung in the #quaver of his strain…” so he thought…until she turned to look at him…just crushed pinks, peeling to the #bones of memory… #vss365 #2WordPrompt #inkmine #BSPP50 #Oulens

Elizabeth Willis again.

The kids actually made animals that don't exist. The AI just put a bunch of stuff that already exists together into a polished slop blender. You can't get a better illustration of why AI can't create anything new while human creativity is bottomless.

no seriously why were there so many AI commercials, how can the plagiarism machine that's been hemorrhaging money for years afford an 8 million dollar, 30-second slot to explain how their specific plagiarism machine doesn't have commercials

i could not give less of a hoot about football but "the seahawks beat the patriots" sounds like nature is healing on turtle island lol

I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

I'm not out here writing the shit I write because I think it has market appeal. It's all for one sicko (me)

You may think you are apolitical but you will definitely be remembered for your politics.

Good morning with Jack Gilbert and #smallpoemsunday Alba After a summer with happy people, I rush back, scared, gulping down pain wherever I can get it

For @tomsnarsky.bsky.social’s #smallpoemsunday, here’s a lethal little gem by Dallas poet laureate Mag Gabbert 🩵 #thebreakup

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

The Epstein Files are one of the most solid forms of proof we have that the patriarchy is a disgusting corruption and not the natural order for a healthy society.

What a poem. From Dorianne Laux's book, Smoke. #poetry #booksky #writing

I didn't want to be happy. I wanted to write books.

poets are the opposite of content creators we basically just make really effed up bowls that you can store the remains of your wondering in
