Thanks so much to everyone who has pre-ordered my forthcoming book Poppy State: A Labyrinth of Plants and a Story of Beginnings. Its seeds can found in both Mean and Creep: Accusations and Confessions. Creep explores the concept of terroir, a viticultural notion, and extends it into the social…🏔️🍇🩸

An autumnal bouquet made from the flowers I picked in the PDX war zone earlier today.

I don’t know what compelled me to read *two* Vigdis Hjorth novels this year, but I just finished the second one. And I mean that in the best way. There’s something all-encompassing about the voices in her books that is exhausting and intense. Again—complimentary, not derogatory.

Yet more reasons to support indie presses, who are critical to a thriving literary ecosystem in the face of ever-increasing corporate consolidation. In my experience, indies are much more willing to publish work that doesn’t necessarily fit in with prevailing commercial trends.

I talked with Hannah Eko, author of Honey is the Knife and founder of The Lit Club, “a creative community at the intersection of art, healing, and pleasure justice.” Hannah is hosting me and my book Bruja on Sunday 9/28 in LA. Cannabis charcuterie board will be present need I say more

Assata taught me that “Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is.” May her spirit fly free!🤲🏾

Absolutely do this. It especially helps those of us who choose not to have google alerts for our name or books and don’t look at ratings or reader comments. ☺️

“The poetry I love is the poetry people say isn’t poetry. It’s usually the universal things I don’t relate to at all. Any honest description of survival isn’t inspirational, it’s frightening.” – Nate Lippens, Ripcord

Does anyone know what this is? It's hand-carved, made of wood, with a very interesting paint pattern and a lovely color, with a hole in the middle that goes all the way through...It arrived in the mail for me, but it's not something I ordered, and I don't even know what it is... A mystery gift?🌺

I did my first ever instagram live 🥹 During it I said I’d do a bong rip with Persephone and try to relay how important she is to centuries of people

Heard some niche literary gossip today that was literally 20 years in the making.

Seeing stories like this where people organize and work to protect their neighbors reminds of what @prisonculture.bsky.social always says on here: People are in motion in everywhere. www.coyotemedia.org/sonoma-count...

I love every thwarter, every saboteur, especially when they come in the form of random people just asking a relentless string of questions to those who mean harm. They’re gumming up the works. They’re slowing down the fascist shitshow. And I get to watch it on video and truly lol. I see you 💐

Does Tylenol cause childhood autism? We asked an elderly man dressed as Uncle Sam who drove 2100 miles to attend the Charlie Kirk memorial stadium event.

As someone who holds grudges forever, I can say that I stopped buying Nike, Shell gas, Forever 21, Walmart, and more since actively protesting them in the 1990s and I have every intention of holding onto those grudges for the rest of my life 😊

I got to interview one of my favorite writers ever, @wendyortiz.com, for @fullstopmag.bsky.social! To me, Wendy exemplifies the kind of artist so many of us aspire to be: always working and publishing on her own terms, turning hard lived moments into beautiful art. www.full-stop.net/2025/09/23/i...
