I love my publisher.

Aw, shucks!

I have nothing against László Krasznahorkai or his work, but every year when the #NobelPrize for #Literature is announced and I do not hear the name Colson Whitehead, they have gotten it wrong. @colsonwhitehead.com

I'm delighted to announce the release of my poetry collection, No Paper Today! Inspired by missed newspapers and correspondence with the WSJ delivery desk, these poems reflect on routine, disruption, and the value of print. Buy here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNLPP3VQ #BookRelease #NoPaperToday

Technology doesn’t always prevent mistakes; it can magnify them. One wrong click brought 63 writers together — and I’m honored to be one of them. 📖 Our book, TV-63, is out now.

Glad that at least one politician is trying to do the right thing when it comes to Ukrainian children. 🇺🇦

Y'all can keep ignoring me, but the science keeps coming in the same direction. For those thinking it's just a cold, remember that anecdote is not data, and that the elephant you thought was getting fat two years ago now has a baby. Some conclusions take time.

Once again, why #numeracy matters. Everyone, please go watch #CountedOut #mathematicalliteracy #math #statistics

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

Carlos Alcaraz becomes the 3rd youngest man in the Open Era to reach 7 Grand Slam finals. Bjorn Borg. Rafa Nadal. Carlos Alcaraz. Incredible. 🇪🇸

#DepartmentOfWar Returns us to history. I fear the Department of Peace. #poetry #Orwell

One thing to be happy about...#ModPo starts tomorrow! #poetry #civility

It brings me joy to watch #VenusWilliams play tennis again. #USOpen #tennis

FDA- isn't that shorthand for Federal Disability Accelerator? @fda.gov #Cassandra #cleantheairweshare

I just made boiled peanut #gelato and I can't decide if it is brilliant culinary fusion or a waste of perfectly delicious boiled peanuts. #cooking #Southerncuisine

@thewingedmoon.bsky.social You sent me the lovliest and most thoughtful ding letter I have ever received; I have no doubt you read my submissions. Thank you for treating authors with integrity and sincerity. #poetry

Though I may question whether we Should count the things we do I never questioned BLS reports as bogus- nor should you @BLS_gov was fine; it performed its duties true Leave McEntarfer where she was-- newer stats won't give us a clue #poetry #BLS #economics #Statistics #professionalism

A good poet has new books out! :)

The Journal of Expressive Writing just published one of my poems. www.journalofexpressivewriting.com/post/everyon... #poetry #cleantheairweshare #covid

Though I haven't read @monaiv.bsky.social 's latest chapbook yet, I have three of her others. I look forward to reading this and adore the personal connection to the cover art. #poetry

@cleanaircreworg.bsky.social @corsiaq.bsky.social I built this #CorsiRosenthal box with a dual computer fan last night; no extra space on the fan unit. Taped everything in. Gravity pulled the fans in. Here's what I've done, along with pictures of the gap I need to bridge. Suggestions? Thanks.

The sports and culture gods are taking over my day. Yay #CocoGauff! Now to watch/listen to the final leg of #TheCliburn2025 and the #Belmont. These artists and athletes amaze me. #tennis #sports #music

Preventing healthy pregnant women and children from getting vaccinated for a serious endemic disease is a good way to ensure there are fewer healthy pregnant women and children. #LongCovid #Covid19

Higher ed is facing a new kind of crisis. Not just demographic shifts or post-pandemic fallout— but economic destabilization driven by federal market dominance. When one actor controls both funding and regulation, the entire sector trembles. 🧵

How did #Mamuro not advance at #VanCliburn2025? His #Liszt... #music

Anyone who says sports don't matter needs to go watch #RolandGarros 's ceremony in honor of the humble, tenacious, classy, and amazing #RafaelNadal. #merciRafe #sports Well done! #tennis

I love this.

While re-reading JRR Tolkien to work with a student, I have discovered he invented the term "tween!" It was in reference to hobbits <33, their age of majority. #linguistics #literature @edusky.bsky.social #sociology

It's here! It's here! The day we wait for every year! #MidlandsGives2025 is today! Extra prizes and pots of money are on the table for your favorite local nonprofits. I'm starting with #LiteracySC and the #SCPhil.😋#ColumbiaSC #CCCF

Given the world, I expect #Journalism to collapse on the track and #AmericanPromise to come up lame. #KentuckyDerby

I think anyone who wants their child to attend a charter school with a religious affiliation mustn't be paying attention to what's going on with #highered right now. @edusky.bsky.social Money always comes with strings attached. #education

This makes me feel better about driving 100 miles each way to get a #Novavax vaccine before they disappeared. @fda.gov needs to step up and stop getting in the way of people protecting themselves and their communities. #longCovid

It is the last day of the #SouthCarolinaOrchidSociety show. Bring a bit of #beauty and #wonder into your lives! #orchids #ColumbiaSC

Okay y'all! Today's the day for the #SouthCarolina #Orchid Show! #calm #beauty #orchids #Midlands

It's finally time! The #SouthCarolina Orchid Show starts tomorrow! Exhibitors and growers are getting ready! #plants #orchids #Columbia

Another good example of why not to trust the middlemen .#airborne #CorsiRosenthalBoxes

Found #Novavax at a Harris Teeter in Charlotte! Long drive but worth it. #covid

Via Copilot: It does seem contradictory—on one hand, there’s demand for non-mRNA alternatives, yet regulatory hurdles are preventing #Novavax from gaining wider acceptance. Do you think this is purely bureaucratic, or could there be other motivations at play? Hmmmm... @fda.gov #Covid

#Airquality matters. All classrooms in schools without high CADR should have their students build #CorsiRosenthal boxes as class projects. #cleantheairweshare

If in order to minimize damage from policy changes, one must exempt individual people/industries/products or give them special compensation, perhaps one should re-think the policies. #economy #ruleoflaw #rulesmatter #freetrade #tariffs

#Grammarly just suggested I change "I am unsure" to "I do unsure." #AI has a way to go! #English #language

For those who fall into the trap of demonizing people based upon occupation/bank balance, look who is trying to save our bums now, when other supposedly public-oriented players have been cowards. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... #tariffs #courage

It seems our executive would rather be #1 in a relegation league than in second place in the Premier league. #tarrifs #AdamSmith #comparativeadvantage #freemarket #thereisnofixedpie #football

Newspapers used to run just-off articles on today's date, yet at this point, no one would be able to tell. #poissondavril

Here comes the brain drain; I always was spoiled in thinking that knowledge and talent flowed to the US, not from it. www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...

@peteuk7.bsky.social and #airquality Do theaters allow portable Corsi-Rosenthal boxes like @cleanairkits.bsky.social 's Exhalaron? Running off a battery pack?
