fascism is stopped when enough people say one of two things: 1) "nah, I'm not doing that" 2) "nah, you're not doing that" a lot of people want to imagine how they'll say the second thing, but you should *really* start practicing the first one

update: Penn just--finally--admitted they have Delisha Africa's remains whyy.org/articles/mov...

the actual best thing you can do for your mental health the next 4 years is make it a point to not wake up everyday and google the president to see what shit he did while you were asleep. Stay engaged, stay aware stay alert but don't do this, it will not only not help it'll make you feel worse daily

Just delighted that some of my umbrella poems appear with so much fine work in the fall issue of Harpy Hybrid Review. www.harpyhybridreview.org/hybrid_works...

MY FELLOW TEXANS! Please re-post and amplify!

Anybody know what kind of caterpillar this is? Seen in Mexico City. My Texas says it’s a Longhorn fan 🤘

Look, Hillary was 800,000 votes away from DT in Texas. I don’t know about financing campaigns but it seems to me that campaigning in my home state could actually matter. Also the Electoral College is horseshit.

Y’all are invited to check out my new #poetry digs on the 18th floor of #apartmentpoetry So excited to share the poetic space here! apartmentpoetry.com

Can’t keep the lights on, can’t keep kids from getting massacred in school, can’t run a normal election and just let people fucking vote. Thirty-plus unbroken years of Republican rule and it’s going super, thanks for asking.

So excited to have four of my #umbrellapoems featured in the summer issue of The Indianapolis Review: theindianapolisreview.com/featured-art...

CLASSIFYING ABORTION AS A 14TH AMENDMENT ISSUE IS NOT "TEMPERING" LANGUAGE ON ABORTION, IT IS EXPLICITLY IDENTIFYING FETAL PERSONHOOD AS A PARTY GOAL THAT'S WHY THE GOP AGREED TO IT THEY LIKE IT IT DOES WHAT THEY WANT IT TO DO: ALLOW THE PROSECUTION OF ABORTION AS HOMICIDE

Barry, what about electric boats? Will you eat them, too?

I’m so pleased that 2 of my box #poems appear in the latest Wild Roof Journal. I wrote them 4 years ago when many of us were still staying home in #cdmx. Thank you for reading! Wildroofournal.com

Does anyone have a direct contact to Ingram publishing or someone involved with managing the remaining stock? I work at a used bookstore. Please share this widely my boss is interested in talking with someone about the unclaimed stock.

Makes me think about the giant letters at work that say, “You came here to be happy. Don’t lose focus.”

Jen Benka put together this spreadsheet of publishers distributed by Small Press Distribution as of January 2024 (a work-in-progress) using the Wayback Machine, in case anyone's looking for ways to support publishers suddenly without distribution ✨✨ docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This is a fun survey - check it out!

As with abortion and gender-affirming care, please note that restrictions for minors are a preview of outright bans

Not hyperbole: this threatens democracy. When the government can prosecute the librarians who collect information and make it available to the public, then the public only sees government-approved information.

The girl or the goat? ;)

Flambeau! Flambeau!

Much prefer this to the fecking billboards going up. #streetart #graffitimexico #cdmxgraffiti
