Failed the dentist by showing up for my appointment 24 hours late but managed to swing by @eveninghouse.bsky.social & snag their final in house copy of Tacoma by @aaronburch.bsky.social which I promptly left at my girlfriend's last night.

the whole city was holding its breath last night. Bummer the Sabres lost but at least football starts in a few months.

if we can afford to sustain ai and venture capitalism we can afford UBI and housing and groceries for everyone

I’ll just never be fucking interested in any cis person’s opinions about how trans women act.

Trans Jedi never fall to the dark side. We’re not sith gender.

Love this bookmail for me. So excited to give it a read. www.andchangepoetry.com/books/p/love...

was talking to someone who generally thinks of themselves as well-informed the other day who had zero idea about like, the worldwide assault on trans civil rights. none. it was totally shocking to them. not sure i have a point here but it was really baffling and i can’t stop thinking about it lol

Everyone, stop what you’re doing. There is a Black girl named Kameirah who is in Google’s top 5 “Doodle for Google” contest that can win a $55,000 scholarship. I just voted. VOTING CLOSES TOMORROW APRIL 29! doodles.google.com/d4g/

I read some words by Cory Doctorow when I was but a wee squatter girl writing bad zines: what an artist should fear isn't piracy. It's obscurity. Those words stuck with me and have served me well.

Don't steal my books from local bookstores. That IS like stealing from an individual. Not me, but the person or people who work hard to keep books alive in our culture.

Saw a bit of booksky discourse of authors saying "if you pirate my books, you are stealing from me." So I'll just say: "if you're pirating my books, I don't really care that much." I came up writing zines and the whole point was copying and it was cool and good and punk rock.

Finally, some good news: workers at Hachette are unionizing, and you can sign an open letter of support. This is the way! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

the trauma of late stage capitalism

Hi. Its Robin here to let you know that I am EXTREMELY high and that the Buffalo Sabres have been sent by God to begin the apocalypse

grind culture? no I am lazymaxxing, I am doing as little as possible core.

"In the 1950s, the Iowa Writers Workshop received funding from the CIA to push a writing style that centered the emotional life of the individual while decentering the social and political forces that shape human behavior." lithub.com/the-craft-ch...

the most recent meme in your photo roll describes your mental state

I don't see a lot of people post on social media about being poor but I know you mfs are struggling too. I work as a dishwasher and I'm a student and I don't work enough to qualify for SNAP as a student so I use the food pantry. I will never pay even $3 to submit anywhere.

WHOA. In less than 12 hours, tens of thousands of Americans have helped launch GTFOice.org. People don’t want warehouse prison camps in their communities. Amazing to see the outpouring of defiance.

what was better for my writing than MFA, which kinda ruined writing for awhile, was volunteering with teen writers. I learned so much from these fearless writers who tapped into play and seriousness with equal grace & abandon. Those teens were honest in a way lots of adults struggle with.

the time of year where outside stops hurting every few days in Buffalo Buffalo summers are gorgeous but winter lingers through the spring.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Every day food and water become scarcer in the ruins of Gaza, and Sama'a and her daughters see horrors the rest of us can only imagine on a daily basis. Please give what you can. chuffed.org/project/157569

Imagine seeing a Grimace hit by a car on the side of the road. For us it’s the stuff of nightmares but for motorists in McDonaldLand it is the grim reality of everyday life

you should make art

it was kinda funny doing my dishwashing shift tonight like I kept thinking about how I have my MFA and being the dishie at a French bistro is exactly where that leads

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

happy holidays to all the @tacobellquarterly.org fans out there 🌿

also writing is easy when you tend towards autofiction and must needs live an interesting life. I already have like ten ideas for writing and plenty of hours to sift through them

When capitalism falters, fascism rises. We are past our environmental limits and we will not see the end of fascism until we see the end of capitalism, or the end of civilization. We need to talk about what kind of world we want to live in, and we need to fight together to build it.

which is not to discount the great things I got out of MFA. Like @jestintzi.bsky.social as a good friend was worth MFA alone I think. Yeah that's right Jes, your friendship has made surviving long island worth it. Anyway, my fingers hurt now 🙃

did an event where I wrote custom poems on a typewriter. it ruled.

Look at this picture of us from 3 years ago at AWP. Do drugs

Awesome now everyone knows to never query the Hachette group ever.

They're tearing people away from their loved ones every single time they kidnap someone. Every time.
