How we still ourselves by instilling those we love; how we seek nature through its destruction and because of it and against it.

Book of Extraction: Poems with Teeth! one of our first books, and most loved. Adrian's lament for this teeth, and the price he's paid to keep them, keeps striking a nerve. @adrianf.bsky.social kithbooks.com/shop

I can't recall what I opened the fridge for but I can recite the 1st verse to Ice Ice Baby and Nightmare On My Street like it was 1994. I'm not proud of my accomplishments.

Got to do something with Z that I never got the chance to do with Dad: teach them to tie a tie.

my debut poetry column for the local paper is out today! stratfordcrier.com/poetry-lounge/

Once you are a grain of sand, you are forever known as simply the collective: sand.

Growing old means learning the line for you is so much further over the line than you thought.

Remember that part in The Monkey Wrench Gang where they throw beer cans out the jeep onto the road. I never understood that part til now.

My AWP poetry book pull is seriously obnoxious!

At AWP, none of the books I bought quite compare to this special gift from a friend. A smoothed over tumbler stone from their space. As soon as we parted, I had a moment. Such sweet humans in my life!

oh look y'all… a way to contact Schumer despite the fact he's doing his slimy, wiggly best to dodge the american people: SHARE WIDELY these are schumer's chief of staff and legislative director… two of the most critical staff positions:

I finally landed a job. The 1st ever job that actually uses my PoliSci degree! And requires suits and shit. And yes, I went out and bought said nice fitting suits and shit

It’s over a 100 years after the great Jewish crusader for free speech, Emma Goldman, was deported from USA for her speaking out. Yet history repeats itself. People shouldn’t be deported for speaking out. People shouldn’t be deported for speaking out. We mustn’t stay silent.

With NASA, not only did the American ppl buy innovations like GPS, ballpoint pens, batteries, water filters, it also spent money to ensure zero civilian interruption or harm. SpaceX gives no fucks beyond profits

Z after watching the speech tonight "It's 8:30, I'm tired of this bullshit. I'm going to bed." This was right after the transgender hatred he spewed. Teaching them right, I think

Got my 1st manuscript rejection today.

As fresh bombs detonate in Ukraine, it's hard not to recall this beautifully hauntingly accurate poem www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/91413/...

If you’re in LA - 12 pm at the Federal Building on Wilshire…

Please read—this is becoming serious!

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Heritage has a DOGE survey Liberals should definitely not fill out the way they would fill out. Do not go and use a fake name and a bogus email address to hide your identity. That would ruin the survey results & be such a shame if the results were skewed secured.heritage.org/the-doge-sur...

My inner Joker is seeping through. At this point I legitimately want them to just take everything from everyone. Just do it. Stop playing these silly games and do what they want to do! Maybe then we'll do more than roll over and lube our backsides up for them.

I need more of these

When a country demands natural resources in return for being saved, you were never a fucking savior; you're a damn scavenger.

My childhood home was filled with the sounds of Genesis, Phil Collins, Ricky Nelson, and Juice Newton. I didn't even know who The Beatles or Stones were til I was an adult. Probably explains why I love Hanson and Rufio

All you speculative poets! Submissions open tomorrow!

New poetry collection from Ibe Liebenberg from Texas Tech University Press is fantastically beautiful. Accessible yet complex. Short poems that manage to grab and release at the same time.

I wish poetry contests weren't so cost prohibitive. I know I got some really mostly almost probably good enough poems

How long do Americans have to wait before this blitzkrieg of retribution paid for and by the American public is stopped!?

Seeking men's bar soap... Why do no soaps say what they smell like?! And if they do it's "whiskey and bad choices", "pinsol", or "who cares, you don't actually shower anyway"?!?

One of the strangest parts to allowing my mother back into my life is the treasure trove of info about my grandparents. They were so loving. Secretive but loving. I'm grateful. This is my grandpa's lieutenant badge & hat when he was a volunteer firefighter in our town before I was born
