I’m doing this later today and would love to see you, New Haven folks

coffee shop playing the One Battle After Another score has really upped the stakes of finishing this paper

☁️ skying with Constable in the Yale Center for British Art ☁️

“Should women work” no, we should laze and lounge by a clear stream at golden hour, free of concern or obligation, all our needs provided and exceeded, the world a place of infinite gentleness and freedom

"should women work" but it really means "should men have to ever answer to or even encounter women who are not their wives, offspring, and/or other servile figures"

a series of the worst poems ever written called I Douthis I Douthat. Is this anything

really hope Zohran can have a nap some plant-based protein and a nuun. My husband must be strong for his next challenge

In 2023, I interviewed the parents who organized this effort to oust Moms for Liberty. If you want to know more — and maybe learn from them! — check it out. Congrats to them for getting rid of them all! www.salon.com/2023/10/10/m...

god what a huge night for Handsomeness

right I need a Philly Zohran right now. I need a guy who will make every Septa bus a palace, a guy who runs on pure rizz and cherry water ice and I need it now

so proud of my husband, Zohran Mamdani

wong kar-wai freaks let's gooooooo

Yale! Friday!

happy unending dark day!!! Scream into the void! Refuse to leave your lair! Stare into your manufactured sun lamp like it’s the face of god!

my only comfort the possibility / you’re unhappy, insane etc

’It’s called Halal Chinese but it’s Bengali food?”‘ did me in

I hate gay Halloween, what do you mean you’re the bodega cat from Zohran Mamdani’s latest campaign video

the best part of trick or treating was the seven year old dressed as Link who gasped: “how have YOU heard of Zelda?” Child, my child, let me tell you a story. Once upon an ocarina of time,

Somewhat astonishingly, here it is, a book, a thing in the world... More, including acknowledgements, soon❤️

okay friends, as the Dark Season approaches, what things - I’m talking stupid purchases, not going for a walk - make life more bearable? I want to spend a frivolous amount of money on anything that will make winter less soul crushing. (I already bask daily in the warm glow of my sad lamp)

Solidarity with striking British Library workers ✊🍞🌹

it’s seed saving season and I am once again marveling at gnarled curled calendula seeds, tiny marine fossils that inexplicably surfaced in my backyard

Lots of lovely folks want to cook for neighbors, fill community fridges during SNAP shutdown but are intimidated. A mutual aid group in Flatbush, Brooklyn has been feeding 80+ people every single week for a year and a half or so now. Nobody is born knowing how to cook for 80, so here's our guide!

Exhausted small (French) girl in Tate Modern, with a sigh: “l’art moderne, l’art moderne…”

what does a girl have to do to be known as the Hellish Grogan

next week I'm heading to Yale to talk about Gertrude Stein, queer reproduction, Stein's love notes to Toklas, 1910s housekeeping manuals, long poems, archives, gardens, and unpublishability - come along if you're near New Haven?

TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE is official-publication-date-minus-2-weeks (11 November) which is a LOT👀 (I can't remember feeling this wound up about other books, I have the concentration of a gnat at the moment🙄) but seems to be live as an e-book already so, available to your Kindle right now, apparently...

So looking forward to the hometown launch of my book at Rutgers later 💗

this is such a damning graph and it should be obvious that these cuts are the beginning of the end not some kind of new start

Today at 4:30, join Kristin Grogan as she discusses her new book, STITCH, UNSTITCH: MODERNIST POETRY & THE WORLD AT WORK at the Rutgers Center for Cultural Analysis. tinyurl.com/4pdupayn @kristingrogan.bsky.social #ModernistLatitudes @columbiaup.bsky.social

Today was payday for me, and a great time to set up a monthly donation to a local foodbank. Half a million Philadelphians will lose access to SNAP in a week. www.philabundance.org

12% of Americans will lose access to food resources when SNAP benefits expire in 8 days

Monday! Rutgers! Cake! Come along!

which Philly Italian sandwich did Adrianne Lenker eat and was it the fried bolognese from Paesano’s

The US gov't is deliberately starving the poor. Get angrier.

so lucky to be alive at the same time as Adrianne Lenker, goofy dancing across the stage to Spud Infinity to close out last night’s Big Thief show. Is there anything better than watching someone at the top of their game having *so much fun*

Thanks to a bunch of wealthy fascists and fascist enablers, *2 million* Pennsylvania residents are officially losing their SNAP benefits next month. That includes 500,000 Philadelphians—1 in 3 residents. The GOP fiddles while our people starve www.inquirer.com/politics/pen...

next Monday is the home turf launch for my book, Stitch, Unstitch: Modernist Poetry and the World of Work. With responses from the wonderful @kjavadizadeh.bsky.social and brilliant Rutgers grad students Lena Crown and Colton Hicks. Come along if you're local? RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

excited to see an extract of my book up on Lit Hub - on Black labor unions, racialised service work, and the blues poetry of Langston Hughes and Sterling Brown @columbiaup.bsky.social @philipleventhal.bsky.social
