Spent my evening listening to @davidgate.bsky.social sharing poems and stories on his book tour. Art and joy are so necessary these days.

They‘re making me side with Jimmy Kimmel and Tucker Carlson on the same day?!?!

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

Thank you, @davidgate.bsky.social for sharing your words and your wisdom with us! (Posted by permission) #OdeToIndieBookstores #IndieBookstores #IndependentBookstores #DavidGate #Poetry

The NYT thinks my book is Hopelessly Positive. They’re right. Free Palestine.

This is absolutely beautiful... ✍🏻 Cred: @davidgate.bsky.social

On second thought… (From A Rebellion of Care by David Gate)

How ANDOR Helps Teach Us How To Form A Rebellion

This is more than a poem, it’s a call to conscience, courage, and community. In dark times, words like these remind us that resistance rooted in hope and unity is a force no fascism can withstand.

In the spirit of Mother’s Day, here’s a clip of Björk two-piecing a reporter who was stalking her and her baby.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! 📕 Go support your indie! AN ODE TO INDIE BOOKSTORES:

... I believe in what rises after loss, the morning after sorrow, in the old rhythms that outlast our forgetting. The world is full of resurrections. It is enough, sometimes, to plant and to wait, trusting that life will come again in its own time." - @davidgate.bsky.social

"I still believe in Resurrection - not only in the grave's undoing, but in the green return of spring, in the earth's insistence on life. I see it in the turning soil, the seeds that split in darkness, the trees that bloom though no one asks them to ...

I see Christians are complaining about the hoodoo in Sinners. To quote, @solomonmissouri.bsky.social if Christians don’t like it… it’s a hit! See it twice!

@davidgate.bsky.social - thank you for this 🙏🏼

I would watch the shit out of a ‘Choctaw Vampire Hunters’ TV series

American. Concentration. Camps.

Was actually wrong, I'm just two days away form having a full year's worth of stats. It's going to come in at just under 1,100 articles about trans people in the Guardian, Times, Mail and Telegraph over that time, almost all attacks. That's an ave of 3 a day every single day from just those papers

I have exhausted my lifetime quota for using the word tariff. I was supposed to only say it maybe 14 or 15 times total. The next time I should have said "tariff" wasn't until 2032

[experiencing an existential grief that no joy could soothe] it is what it is :)

Of course Corey Booker’s feat was performative. He’s performing resistance. The rest of the Dems should try it some time.

Dems: Neo-liberalism is not real and nobody knows what it means GOP: The post office should be profit making and uninsured people don’t deserve to be healthy

MOVEMENTS ARE ECOSYSTEMS, NOT TALENT SHOWS

We have to turn the Internet off for Dems.

“Dude, you’re such a pussy!”

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

"There’s this idea that your every single public utterance on trans issues can be devoted to casting doubt on them and their self-assertions, on their methods and activism, but that you can still demand to be recognized as “broadly supportive” of trans rights.

HOW TO FIGHT THE FASCISTS A poem for solidarity, focus and hope.

Senator: (after spending 8 hours crafting the perfect tweet) Instead of acting illegally, the president should consider the price of turnips at the grocery

I’m reading Martyr! By Kaveh Akbar and the beginning of the third chapter is totally ripped from a Pete Holmes bit about sleep. Or maybe two bits. But it’s beat for beat 🧐

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin
