As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

feelin like William Carlos Williams (eating a plum)‼️😤

my only thought re: Charlie Kirk

despite what the news says, this is the truth:

there's a word for this!

why is Barack the fuck Obama posting about Charlie blockhead Kirk

work was good plus a transphobe & pro-gun activist died today🙏🏾

false alarm: I revised a poem!

I fear that I'm reaching new levels of pisstivity with myself

i really recommend this newsletter, it’s a weekly pick me up for me 🥲

perhaps it didn't occur to me, in the days that I was hurting for publications, that the things we publish on the internet have real-world repercussions. this is all to say, I've been navigating lots of shame lately🙃

behind generative AI, Microsoft OneDrive might be the worst thing that's ever been created

so cool‼️🥲 read the poem here: www.texasobserver.org/texas-no-exo...

Love this poem from @earthtokb.bsky.social selected by @thepoetmendez.bsky.social: www.texasobserver.org/texas-no-exo...

In poetry, by @earthtokb.bsky.social: Everything’s bigger in Texas. Even the aching hearts. Love is wrapped up in a land that wants me more than the news lets on, so I run to it quicker than a governing body says get out

as one gets older/more busy it is quite hard to preserve writing time. anytime I put time on my calendar to *just write*, I end up having *something* that threatens to take it from me /:

new(ish) poem by me!

From our magazine, poetry by @earthtokb.bsky.social: I insist on survival every day I stay in Texas. Let me explain. A friend came over today & boom: joy shone from our fingertips.

"Crime is lower in D.C. than it is in the Republican-led states these National Guard troops are leaving..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

If you have to leave a review that mentions risque content, try to be neutral about it. State what's there and why it didn't work for you, and move on. Don't hurt an author because they didn't cater to your very niche and possibly unique needs.

I’m gonna be straight up with you: please buy my game so I can have the funds to move out of this country before it kills me. That’s why I’m pushing so hard! Trying to move my entire trans household out of here and it’s very expensive. If you have the game, please leave us an honest (5words) review?
