microdosing the horrors by being awake

David Attenborough [whispering]: “Like a grain of sand in a vast desert, the predator blends seamlessly into its environment, nearly imperceptible to the naked eye.”

I wish with poetry readings we considered the poem more and minutes less.

My poem “I Wanted to Touch Your Shadow” is in the latest issue of @fiddlehd.bsky.social

ME: so what do you think of this cluster of big lakes TONY THE TIGER: *deep breath*

Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

sure sex is great but have you ever had a growing and persistent sense of dread that turned out to be horribly, sickeningly justified

Get Chuck Schumer out

"Mamdani’s victory, above all, is a rebuke to the conventional strategies of the Democratic party. Democratic congressional leadership seems to have replaced the work of politics with a sort of learned helplessness," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Mamdani is not a warning shot; he is a sign of things to come. Dem voters everywhere want transformative change. They’re furious at party’s leaders and suspicious of candidates backed by an establishment that gets everything wrong," writes @alexshephard.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Different Dem candidates winning in different places should be evidence of the big tent - huzzah! Also, Mamdani winning in NYC despite the tepid support of Jeffries, lack of support from Schumer, and outright opposition from Cuomo should absolutely be seen as a marker of what's to come.

Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece (below) I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Today a politician congratulated me on my resume.

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

If you love something, set if free. If it comes back that means no one else wanted it. Set it free again.

I’m sick of millennials complaining about losing JK Rowling when anyone can see that the real tragedy was losing M.I.A.

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

It’s the last week of the semester. I have five parking tickets that amount to $100 less than the cost of a parking pass. This is how you succeed in both school & life!

I hate slam poetry the way most people hate all poetry.
