In July I had the pleasure of collaborating with @heideerdrich.bsky.social and Kim Blaeser on a poem inspired by Sky Hopinka’s work. You can watch us read the poem on YouTube and read the text at MoMA Magazine youtu.be/SBReR5dkaXU?...

Seems like a problem that most every smart liberal and left wing writer, researcher, analyst, and NGO worker I know is unemployed, grossly underpaid, or in a super unstable job, while a bunch of 20 year old Nazis with the talent and expertise of ass hair are getting paid $300K to post on Twitter.

@heideerdrich.bsky.social’s Verb Animate — a nice take by @davigray.bsky.social 💛💜😀💜

Feeling pretty merciless and savage today.

Something good has come about!

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.

Say. This.

Y’all, Amazon is bad for writers, bad for publishers, bad for customers, bad for workers. bad for democracy. Would be wonderful if we could break its stranglehold.

It's March. Let's March.

If the sworn statements are provided, and they're lies, that's perjury for whoever signed them. If they're not provided, that's contempt. And if they're provided, and they're truthful, and they reveal lawbreaking, that's a sworn admission of guilt.

Even if that's true, which I very much doubt, the $ should go back into the Social Security trust fund. It's *not* a budget item expenditure.

1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills. While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation. Watch their speech. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

New books by two poets with SO much fire have been keeping me warm this winter. Congratulations to @heideerdrich.bsky.social and Jan Beatty! @triohousepress.bsky.social @upittpress.bsky.social

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Dear Federal Government, here are some of my accomplishments this week: - I drank a whiskey drink - I drank a vodka drink - I drank a lager drink - I drank a cider drink - I sang the songs that remind me of the good times

Shutdown. Went to the writers town hall where the convo on lack of visible diversity in the group was shut down with an actual wave of the hand. Nothing has made me feel more hopeless about what we can do as writers.

"The rules of haircare are simple and finite." Rules. Simple. Finite. Elle Woods should be on the Supreme Court.

Lords of COBOL purge us of ancient fraudsters!

Amid news that DOGE is shutting down the agency that runs the National Center for Education Statistics, our team at @brookings.edu has a new report out that shows the importance of higher education data, and why it needs to be improved, not gutted: www.brookings.edu/articles/fed...

My 72-hour deodorant is only lasting 12 these days.

I love to play-play too much. Where are the Ts nutz jokes?

Omfg those of you who still can, ward them off with tampons. It seems the only thing they fear.

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

@heideerdrich.bsky.social did you see this:

Testing photos here. Hmm still not working for me.

Zhawenindizo, means, "be kind to yourself" in Ojibwemowin.

We're told 36x in the Torah to love the stranger. We're taught that Abraham & Moses argued, loudly, with God, & the latter successfully swayed God's behavior. And, btw, the story of Sodom isn't what Christians teach; it's about people who'd become so venal they would let ppl die rather help. 10/

As Joe Biden’s term as the 46th U.S. President comes to a close, so does the most pro-Native administration in history. Today in The Big Picture, Amelia Christnot explores how Biden kept his promises to Indigenous Americans—setting records and reshaping representation along the way.

Why is everyone headed here again? Some fb shake up?

Reduced to reclining in bed today, but videos from libraries are saving me. Oh, and sure, there's some Bowie interludes and even Annie Lenox, but it's the librarians making me want to live. Same?
