as far as autism is concerned, well, the people who want to eradicate it are a bunch of raw milk chugging dipshits who want to bring back polio. why would you listen to them about how it's worth reviving measles just to get rid of people like me? why would you listen to them about anything?

A benefit auction near to my own heart—SAFTA could use our help! Among the items you can bid on is a signed copy of my novel HEADING NORTH, complete with a matching handwoven silk bookmark. Many other lovely and bookish things here!

Pretty much this entire thread right here is it.

I just wanna say ... for anyone who needs to hear this. I did always worry about such things myself, and never expected what did happen which is: I became a super hot dude.

Just in case tomorrow really is the day the other shoe finally drops, here is one of my Rapture-trauma poems. "Angel Triptych" appeared in @psalteryandlyre.bsky.social almost exactly two years ago.

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

No one can tell you what to do with your money. But if you're looking to provide help for people who need abortion care, a local (or regional) abortion fund seems to be a better bet currently than PP.

Southern Mass, you know what to do

small poem. i've been playing a lot of "name the 500 biggest urban areas in the US" type games lately to keep my mind busy when i'm fretful

I've read almost everything in this list and recommend them all. Talia has excellent taste. 😊👇

Sending all the love to my fellow neurodivergent folks, today and every day. We require no justification, no explanation, and certainly no prevention. We’re here. 💚

reading a v good older fantasy novel about war crimes/ very tempted to tap out for a while.

NEW WORKSHOP!! Sabrina Imbler will teach "Writing Alongside the Nonhuman" on Sept 15, online. It is one thing to write about animals, plants, and other non-human beings, but what would it look like to write with them? 🌱🐈🌸 www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/wri...

Incredible. Italy brought to a standstill as Italians descend to the streets to protest for Gaza. No business as usual. Schools closed. Businesses closed. Shameful on the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

hot flash! At the laundromat

He's a fancy man, and he's got a fancy relationship.

I was inspired by Gypsy Taylor's concept pics of Ed wearing a bridal veil. I made a ridiculously long bridal veil for him as well.

Don't see any chatter on Bluesky about it, but Italy is doing a 24-hour strike for Palestine today, called by unions: x.com/abierkhatib/...

The review of the literature c. 2015 is, if I do say so myself, thorough.

*helpless laughter* it seems my most substantial contribution to Ben Jonson scholarship may be making it to print *checks watch* ten years after I delivered it to the press.

If you want to try to help fund some more trips out of Gaza City for vulnerable families ❤️

My sickest patients are my poorest patients. Give the billionaires' money to poor people.

the lilies of the field are doing _plenty_, thank you very much.

He found dispassionately arguing in bachelor company ever more essential to him—a bad sign, as we all know. —Turgenev, Fathers and Sons

I would always rather be us than them, every fucking day, no matter how angry or scared I get trading our humanity for the feeble hope that proximity to power will protect us is not fucking worth it we all die as we live and their picture of what "success" looks like is truly so fucking bleak

Proud girls, you gorgons, gorgeous in your gowns, rising back unrepentant out of your loam house, tiptoe fripperies, overlook my misreading. ‘Autumn Cyclamen’, a poem by @aestallings.bsky.social: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

disney adults are currently doing pretty much exactly what they should be doing, and dumping on them is super counterproductive.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

mad wild to see people *just now* saying THIS is fascism after the cancellation of kimmel, but whatevs... please pull up a chair, refreshments are in the back - there are cookies, donuts, and chips & dip... please feel free to help yourself.

I am always getting interrupted by an animal/child/life but OH this poem made me realize what a receiving child I was—like the idea of hitting a parent back was anathema / so beyond the pale / the unthinkable / undoable. It was always words; it would always have to be words.

Like many of the very real Gaza civilians on Bluesky, my dear friend Tasneem's accounts here are constantly deleted. They all rely on our direct donations to survive. Please give to Tasneem, so she can feed her family and escape Gaza, and to others. Any amount helps. ❤️ 🙏 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo

Academia dot education had been garbage for a long time. If you’re still using it, switch to hcommons.org instead

But sure the dreaded Woke Times were a nightmare.

There are two apocalyptic fantasies I see floating around these days. One is about rugged individualism and destruction of social responsibility. The other, which I vastly prefer, is about community care.

Got a short poem about this (and other things) forthcoming from @thebroadkillreview.bsky.social in early 2026. 🦊💚

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

It’s definitely “crumbling empire” kinda behavior.

Your Members of Congress need to hear from you. Urge Senate Democrats to keep holding their ground. If you’re represented by Sen. Fetterman or Rep. Golden (or Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez, who was recorded as not voting), be sure to let them know how you feel about their support for the GOP’s proposals.
