If you fell for "drag queen storytime is bad for kids" for even one minute, shame on you, the people who tricked you are gonna take away your child's education and then force them to work at age 12 in an unsafe factory overnight where people lose limbs regularly

Just saw a teen waiting for the school bus flip off a passing cyber truck—thank you tiny anger angel

It's hard to "move on" from a book that is so tethered to my mother's memory and the ongoing nature of my grief for her loss. Much gratitude to Cody Stetzel for this recent, smart review on BUFFALO GIRL for Salamander, and for keeping me there today. salamandermag.org/encased-in-m...

Please someone tell my little Inside Out dream-making people that there was no secret math class required in grad school. A dream of flying The Witch-style with Anya Taylor Joy would be so much nicer.

I can’t see all of any horse at once. They weave through twilight, in and out of sight, as the sky drains of color, enters dusk. The barn’s a bloodstain on an ivory dress, lost in the skirt, a spiraling red kite. ~from "Come Back" by Chloe Honum AGNI 70

“as if the director— / in conjuring the end of taboo / in strobe light, in dim urinals, / in park bushes, under the / spinning doom of moon— / in trying to make us subject / has subjected us to ravage instead” — @jamesallenhall.bsky.social @pleiadesmag.bsky.social poems.com/poem/erotic-...

The real trap here is that the Republicans have made defending civil rights seem like a frivolous thing and a whole lot of liberals are falling in line. Even if it was a culture war, so what? This would be a war worth fighting. What are we even doing here, people? Get it together.

The brown hen is blown toward the chopping block and the red-handled ax. The sea is rubbed bare in spots, the sky El Greco blue between the forking clouds. ~from "Vendaval" by Jennifer Barber AGNI 47 & 56
