More baseball tomorrow (threatening)

Monkey off back, at least temporarily for the Cubs

More roses + fall event schedule! Two events coming up in the next few days!

Ohhhhh yessssss

This is ME last time I read at Water Street Studios! Be there this weekend for my triumphant return 😂 reading with three other awesome women writers! More info in thread!

BACK TO THE PLAYOFFS, MY FRENTS. Go, Cubs, Go. #FlyTheW

I, like you, am so tired. With that said, I have two new poems that I’m *really proud of* in Action, Spectacle. Please read them. It would mean a lot to me. (Link in thread.)

One thing I miss about working at the Hallmark Cards writing studio is the birthday cards. We'd take free cards from the sample boxes and cross out words and add new ones. "the one I love with all my heart" would become "the one I sit next to with all my ass."

If you’re not singing Go Cubs Go consider yourself a toxic person I need to cut off #Cubs

Mail call! It was lovely to receive the new issue of Bramble in the mail, in which I’m interviewed, and Down From the Sycamores, a new collection of @rholinger.bsky.social, that I blurbed. Find these volumes! 💖✨

I’m so thrilled (and a little late to the party!) to tell you I have a poem in THE BOOK OF JOBS! When you get paid to play baseball professionally, it’s a job. At least that’s what MLB keeps telling us. This one’s about how the job has changed over the decades. ✨❤️⚾️

I can cut and arrange some berries. Yup

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

Nico Homer!

the worst I can say about Governor Pritzker is that, during his initial campaign, he ran an ad where he claimed that his favorite season in Illinois was Spring—an objectively untrue statement: it’s the *worst* season, rain and gloom and often snow. otherwise? hell of a governor, a true mensch, A+.

Later this month I’m reading with some FANTASTIC poets online! If you haven’t had a chance to catch me in person on my DIORAMA tour, come to THISSSSS 💖✨More info in thread!

ICYMI!!!

So happy to have an *exclusive* online reading from DIORAMA up at the DMQ September Salon with two other great poets! Listen to me read five of my faves at the link in the thread! 💖

We need good Danny Thunder Thighs tonight #Cubs

Crime is down in Chicago, but it’s up 752% in the imaginary Chicago in their heads.

Lefty on lefty opposite field missile from Tucker. Stay hot!

Heaven

So excited to be reading in Batavia in a few weeks! Come on out to hear some kick*ss women writers in a great venue! RSVP in thread!

“Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House” is the opening line to a Frank O’Hara poem, I’m certain of it.

Alcaraz stealing my shirt? WTF #USOpen

i have no plans for the weekend either does that mean i’m dead

Beck’s walkup song is “Pink Pony Club” and is Farmer’s is “Fantasy” by Mariah? Ian Happ, admirer of strong female vocals, should take a note.

Arcia still thinks he’s a Brewer.

STUPID SEXY SWANSON

Dansby doing his best Schwarber impression #Cubs

I’m a certified hater if I say the Cubs should have 13 runs right now, right? 😂

Oh your roses stopped blooming and it’s not even September? What a shame. (We’ve also got a spider situation happening!)

Process post: I just got a 12-poem acceptance from UCity Review—one of my fave mags! Never had that many poems accepted at once before except maybe for a chapbook. Look at how many simultaneous submissions this acceptance wiped out! So many withdrawal emails sent today. 🥰

Still open for your food(ish) writings, the most important meal of the day

Also, good hair day today. No filter, no makeup, nothing but a brush through these locks. Taken under fluorescents! This is 40. Blessed 😭

We swim outside until they tell us no.
