Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Thanks to @versedaily.bsky.social for all the ❤️ during the last days of December! ICYMI, 4 poems from AGNI were featured in a single week!

I’ve written a lot of things in the past decade but this list of tips on reading more books is the thing I continue to get the most messages about—a strong case for the importance of service journalism!

Grateful for the love of relations near and far and my ancestors’ embrace. I made soon dubu chigae with mushrooms foraged by my friend and her mom in the Pacific Northwest mountains. Thank you to this land on which I’m a guest for nourishing me. Gentleness and warmth to all these final days of 2024.

My little one is learning to make clay vessels with coils. The figurine is because sometimes a candy dish needs a helper. 😊

Happy Winter Solstice! May 동지 find you warm, peaceful, and held. www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Cu...

Thinking of this poem today by Joy Harjo. I first taught it at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles as an ABD adjunct in 2005. These stanzas and their tonal subtleties land with the emotional insight of ritual. Read the full poem here: poets.org/poem/perhaps...

This powerhouse poem by DeeSoul Carson will blast off your Monday (any day, really!): agnionline.bu.edu/poetry/good-...

Congratulations, @izineh.bsky.social Issam Zineh! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’ve long admired Kim Ki-taek’s poems. How marvelous to read this gripping translation by Jack Jung.

Each cabinet pick is a new fresh hell so here’s a poem from @agnimagazine.bsky.social 100 (!) about birds’ nests made from detritus, extreme weather, + swimming at summer camp. Remember ‘buddy check’? Let’s re-implement buddy check for the next few years maybe for, like, everything? #ecopoetry

AGNI Magazine is on Blue Sky! I love these lines from Paisley Rekdal's poem, "My Brother": "I want a brother to walk with me now through these woods, to stare with me into Death’s eyes, those glassy, winking flames." Read the full poem here: agnionline.bu.edu/poetry/my-br...

Spent the afternoon downloading my data and deleting posts and self-authored posts. Along with my "closed forever" sign, I hope this blank space / "lights out" signals my refusal to be an AI meal and to enrich Elon. I'm one user among millions, but maybe someone will feel encouraged to do the same?

Playing with clay and dough with my kiddo ❤️😊❤️
