Haunted Ecologies turns 1 today! It’s weird to have a spooky eco-horror book birthday on Valentine’s Day…but maybe it’s fitting. Each story is a love letter to some part of the environment I want to see preserved/cherished off the page. The forest and oceans and birds and werewolves. All of them!

Here’s a question, just something on my mind. Do people still save “vim and verve?” And can those two things stand alone or must one the first to obtain the second? Yes, of course, I could look it up. But sometimes it’s more fun to just talk to people.

Do you ever have the feeling that there’s something happening today that you’re supposed to be at?

Just can’t get enough

There is just too much muchness today

Just can’t get enough

So if you can believe it, these guys are arguing over who inspired the logo colors. New episode next week.

Once more for the morning crew. :-D

You were a great guest, @grantclauser.bsky.social! Thanks again for the fun discussion.

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

The Times They are a-Changin’ – Bob Dylan’s third studio album – was released today in 1964 on Columbia. Produced by Tom Wilson (1931-1978), the title track is as fine a song as Dylan has ever penned – with “Only a Pawn in Their Game” “With God on Our Side” & "Ballad of Hollis Brown" not far behind.

Scroll past, part 2: “I don’t know who needs to hear thi”— Nobody, Pam. Exactly nobody needs to hear this.

We’re coming up on episode 8 of the @inthreepoems.bsky.social poetry podcast. If you haven’t listened yet, here’s a flashback to sixty seconds of episode 2 with @mitchnobis.bsky.social

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Once more for the night crew :)

What a great conversation this was! Jehanne Dubrow and I read poems together and talked about her latest collection, Civilians, as well as her new craft book, The Wounded Line: A Guide to Writing Poems of Trauma. Such good stuff. www.buzzsprout.com/2516618/epis...

So I have a thing at noon, right? For me, that means I cannot concentrate on the things I need to do BEFORE noon. 😔

Editing these podcast episodes is teaching me to forgive myself for repetition and too frequently saying “um.” If I would edit out every stumble, I’d might as well be AI So, maybe that’s a good pitch? Listen to my poetry podcast; it’s not AI 🤖 inthreepoems.com

“Why is nobody talking about—“ I scroll past immediately. After all, you are talking about it.

For how open the Midsomer Murders are when it comes to chief detective Barnaby espousing support for and tolerance of gay relationships, it’s always the queer characters who are killers-or killed.

If you’ve not yet heard the podcast, here’s a quick recap of the first six episodes in under three minutes. In Three Poems is now available on 14 different podcast platforms, and you can also tune in on the website at inthreepoems.com. If you enjoy this, please share it with your poetry circle.

So excited to be able to share my discussion with poet Jehanne Dubrow this week on In Three Poems inthreepoems.com

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1. Contemporary American literature 2. Linguistics 3. Literary theory 4. Jungian archetypes in world mythology 5. History of the English language

These have been a lot of fun to do. Tune in on inthreepoems.com, or your favorite podcast app. And please share the poetry

Like weirdness? Fairy tales and fabulism? Voids in the backyard? Gila monsters with uplifted intelligence? Oblations to the ocean? Bakers who speak toads and snakes? Beautiful things that fall apart? I have a short story collection with that & much more coming soon: www.uapress.com/product/bedt...

ICE kidnapped 5 people from my community this morning. I don’t live in Minneapolis. I live in LA County. They’re still here and their still brutalizing.

Their cruelty is the point

The current episode of @inthreepoems.bsky.social is a really nice mental break. Good for the soul. We’d be happy if you tuned in to In Three Poems wherever you listen to podcasts off at inthreepoems.com

The more the crisis heats up, the more I'm convinced that our superpower is community. When faced with the ladies auxilliary of protest action, the MAGAs are stunned and keep asking who's paying for this? Who is organizing it? We are you dolts. We play well with others.

I think what a lot of folks miss is how profitable deportation is for the corporations involved & the politicians they're backing. Holding people, physically removing them, is cost for the taxpayer & profit into the pockets of the worst people you can imagine.

If you need a breather, the current episode is a delightful conversation with @micahjamesbauman.gosixers.online We do talk about end of the world, but also some light things like getting in trouble for writing poems in class. Listen wherever you listen to podcasts or at inthreepoems.com.#poetryry

“How unfair for them to call us kidnappers and killers just because we kidnap and kill!”

Just needing to share this episode again, and will share the latest too.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Thread from the ICE facility in Portland last night: People rallied after border patrol executed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Early in the night some barricades were put up against the gate where the feds typically come out of, including a dumpster that got rolled over.

The govt lying about the killing of a U.S. citizen at the hands of the state, is by itself, a front page a story, worthy of drumbeat coverage, resignations, and impeachments.

I just assume everyone with a blue stripe American flag sticker is a fucking fascist
