Haibun anyone? This new piece investigates the popular poetic form: "In her Feb. 2014 essay, 'More than the Birds, Bees, and Trees,' poet Aimee Nezhukumatathil explains that a haibun juxtaposes a poetic prose journey or landscape description..." wildroofjournal.substack.com/p/to-liberat...

Also, the examples shared by Palette introduced me to a poetry collaboration by Ross Gay & @nezhukumatathil.bsky.social published in @orionmagazine.bsky.social that I hadn't read before.

Terrific episode! @outsideinradio.bsky.social @nezhukumatathil.bsky.social www.nhpr.org/environment/...

This crab is going to organize its community against digital surveillance and I am here for it.

As it should be. Freedom of expression is foundational to all our other rights.

Say. it. louder. for. the. people. in. the. back! 👏🏽

I’m already seeing people who position themselves as progressive or liberal “joking” that Trump should occupy these cities instead. Y’all are so disappointing.

Well here it is at long last, my latest embroidery is finally finished. Sorry to keep you all waiting, I’ll leave you to dream and explore…😊🪡🌿🌺 *Completely freehand stitched without patterns or paint, just lots of threads & plenty of patience. #stitchedart #thesewingsongbird

I refuse to give em dashes to the AI

I saw the photo before I saw who posted this, and I thought, that looks like a dog Aimee Nezhukumatathil might have!

Perhaps you might need to see a picture of my rescue dog, River Pearl, in my garden. 2 years ago she was found wandering the streets of Chattanooga and no one claimed her. Until I wrote a letter to her shelter to say why I’d give her the very best life. She’s named after the state gem of Tennessee.

Oh darn! Filed my claim this morning.

Please spread the word. The print run is expanding. Get on board with this collector’s item while you can.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Big news out of Florida tonight! An environmental challenge has brought the use of the Everglades detention camp to a halt.

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

Aimee Nezhukumatathil and Ross Gay show us how to measure time in gardens in this year-long poetry swap. orionmagazine.org/article/lett...

Once abundant in California waters, the sunflower sea star was nearly wiped out by sea star wasting disease. The cause wasn't clear at first, but one culprit has been identified—a bacterium named Vibrio pectenicida. This finding may help scientists understand and control this disease.

Eater is one of the news outlets I read for pleasure, to know what’s going on in my neighborhood and just for the sheer fun and intelligence of the writing. Disgusted by these cuts.

Good morning from this Gulf fritillary caterpillar in my garden. By evening they’ll almost certainly be in a cocoon.

My publisher released four of my novels with new gorgeous covers by the great Yuko Shimizu. They’re calling it the LaValle Quartet though each book stands alone. Just look at these things! They’re in bookstores now. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/LVQ/t...

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Mary Jane Rathbun (1860 – 1943) was a US zoologist who specialized in crustaceans. She worked at the Smithsonian Institution from 1884 until her death. She described more than a thousand species and subspecies and many higher taxa new to Western taxonomy. 🦀 #WomenInSTEM

The idea that novelists and historians could be replaced by AI could only come from people who have no use for fiction or history.

What a sick-ass archive pull.
