I'm grateful to @oneart.bsky.social for publishing these words of mine, especially at this moment when voices are being silenced.

"Penelope and Odysseus," a poem from The Last Song of the World (BOA Editions):

In a world brimming with destroyers, I'm thinking of the healers.

I can't stop thinking of all the poets slain by tyranny. Today I hear the voice of Federico García Lorca, slain by fascists in 1936.

So the ICE agent who shot Renee Good is (according to his father) married to an immigrant from the Philippines. Now people are using that to justify his violence. Yeah, because marriage to someone erases your “-isms”. No, it does NOT. Prime example, JD Vance.

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

In the wake of the execution of Renee Nicole Macklin Good by an ICE agent and a sustained boycott that dropped Spotify’s stock 10% in one month, Spotify confirms ICE recruitment ads are no longer running.

Both Prem and I are still sick from COVID. We’re on day 10. *sigh*

This distinguished gentleman. Arashi cracks me up in this pic. Cat of leisure. 😆

Hi, it’s me, your friendly neighborhood cardiac nurse. Just read the release of Trump’s medical report. ECGs are not an indicator of age. They literally *DO NOT* contain that information, either directly or indirectly. This is a lie dressed up as pseudoscience bullshit. So my question is: why?

*Opens the internet* “circumcision causes autism” *Closes the internet*

Dear God, DONALD *not* Dolly.

Wig for my Halloween costume arrived. My office pod are going as Pokémon characters. I’m going to be Glaceon. ❄️🧊

Me, this morning at 0645 before getting coffee and heading to the gym for a 0730 workout with my trainer. Yes, yer girl is lifting weights again. Fuck perimenopause. I will protect my muscle and bone mass at all costs.

Parting shot of this rock star from last week… Costa’s Hummingbird on cholla skeleton 🪶☀️🌵 (sunrise reflection in bird’s eye)

Stuff that cracks me up.

That's nice of you Steve, but I suspect that sunflower is stolen, isn't it?

Back when they were wee and smol.

Arashi and Sora in full cat nap mode

These are the weak points. You know what to do. First thing tomorrow, use 5calls.org and raise hell.

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

I love my new succulent plant! She’s so pretty!

now this one is a bird 🪶

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds
