new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

Please come see @majda.bsky.social @alinaetc.bsky.social Julia Kolchinsky read their new books for @notatawp.bsky.social on Tuesday, September 9th at 7pm. Register here: www.eventbrite.com/e/nawp-a-rea...

Announcing Maya Salameh's third workshop for us💕 Cryptids and Creatures: Mythology in Poetry October 4, online Sign up here: www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/cry...

I think this is a really great and important initiative but I think it'd be really important to be inclusive of poets, and also to get more translators of color and those from the global south involved. It would be great if the team can reach out and chat more

Thank you, kind folks, for using my tip jar. If you’d like to help with my internet bill, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I’ll have my commissions sheet ready tomorrow. ko-fi.com/soniasulaiman

i love bagels and i love bagel sandwiches

hobbling around with back pain 👴

We want to give someone $500 to keep writing queer planty lit!

Hello! Please do not use AI to generate an essay in time for our submission deadline just because we really need them. 1) we can tell, & 2) our whole deal is deeply human work. Thank you!

Weirdly many videos randomly citing derrida...a guy said differance is how language is defined by relational difference between terms and then flashed a wikipedia screenshot. brother that is the saussurean semiotics differance is complicating. that is the structuralism to derrida's poststructuralism

are emails from .edu addresses less likely to be disappeared into spam filters or no? i'm so tired

It's apt that corporations/governments divided the internet into SFW and NSFW & are now making it all Safe For Work, because that is the defining frame they want to place on the world--everywhere you go is for Work, not pleasure or art or love or culture. You must always Work for Them, or die.

"For Gilpin, the liminal isn’t a literary device but the inevitable outcome of paying attention: we each stand with one foot on either side of a threshold."

Reactivated my account to see 2010s buzzfeed era male gaze discourse imported from x dot com

I have a Sasquatch poem in the latest issue of @asteralesjournal.bsky.social

"What does Lacan show us? He shows us that desire is not a biological function; that it is not correlated with a natural object; and that its object is fantasized. Because of this, desire is extravagant. It cannot be grasped by those who might try to master it." - Bruce Fink

Absolutely wild thread

Churned out another draft thanks to this post

depression so bad i might start posting talentless photos

I assume this is the NYT beginning to lay the groundwork for Mamdani's eventual rendition

Needed this reminder today.

My love poem based on Yayoi Kusama's art installation "All the Eternal Love I Have" in the latest issue of @shopoetryjournal.bsky.social

when I got laid off over a decade ago, a co-worker immediately advised me to get unemployment, pointing out "you paid taxes into that system, it's your money." that's stayed with me since

Just realized I've been submitting the old draft of a poem with a glaring mistake in it 🙆‍♂️

You know what is great about the Dems v Mamdani. The establishment doesnt live here and the choice is a cult leader, a corrupt buffoon, and a corrupt sex pest or Mamdani...whose greatest crime is promising to deliver on taxing Billionaires. I hope we can primary them all into history.

New eZine of art 'n poetry up over @ thee Patreon, themed around the concept of reversed Cathedrals If you have the means & the interest, you can find it here: www.patreon.com Otherwise, enjoy this short poem

So much editing work fucked by LLM brain rot. Because if AI-generated "writing" takes so little time and zero effort, people are amazed and outraged that editing takes time to do

Lost 8 pounds 🤙

Begging monolingual english speakers (of which I am practically one) to understand that much of the world, even America, interacts with multiple languages every day

If establishing multiple mutual aid campaigns to support their own people during a genocide were not enough, Sameer Project has had to waste time addressing malicious rumors circulating about them. We are reposting what they posted on x here. We stand with them, if it wasn't obvious already

also, might return to substack bc I cannot figure out beehiiv 😭 ok back to the void, cya around

Just posted a review of Emily Jungmin Yoon's _Find Me as the Creature I Am_. extimateothers.com/find-me-as-t...

omg i didn't know about @justinaoba.bsky.social's review until now, and it resonates so much with what i'm trying to do with the book, thank you 🥹😭 extimateothers.com/the-lantern-...

Journalists in Gaza doubt they will survive the intense bombing, what some are calling the ‘final solution’ right now. Please think about what you, what we need to be doing right now. We are collectively too late, but thy doesn’t mean we can sit by and go on with our days

Always turning to words in terrible times. Reread Said's Culture & Imperialism, started Ulysses, trucked thru half Benjamin's The Arcades Project, dropped an awful academic monograph. And also kept company by words from @sianessa.bsky.social, @readinstead.bsky.social, @lowermelody.bsky.social, etc.

Contemplate the value of living & loving slowly with Adam Hollowell's "Fast or Slow" in today's Issue 03 spotlight. Read it here: bleatingthingmagazine.com/issue-03.html

ICE came and snatched a woman in my city and her teen daughter screamed in the street before getting tackled. I can’t get her voice out of my head

The thing is…we were already defunding the humanities (for DECADES), not supporting contingent faculty, union-busting graduate students, & pushing a scarcity model & competition rather than collaboration in our universities: we fervently tilled & fertilized a plot for the weeds of the AI tech bros.

Lit mags are publishing Gerard Sarnat again? I guess y'all don't remember him harassing editors, primarily women, with graphic sexual responses to rejections. I get that he's pretending to be nice now. I don't care that his bio says he's a grandpa. He never once owned his shit. Fuck that guy.

Not to further harp on this but means testing indulges in a deeply conservative fantasy that accessibility must be guarded against hordes of bottomfeeders and scammers. Such a bleak and arrogant perspective

Still extremely frustrated by fellowship/financial need apps that require uploading tax returns and bank statements. Do they also want a picture of the inside of my fridge to make sure I don't have too much food? Means testing is so fucked up

Sharing because i've been an editor at a few publications and haven't seen this recent incident being talked about in my circles at all...

Begging racist white ppl to get a hobby. Skip rocks man
