what if, indeed?!?! new from Jared Beloff https://www.havehashad.com/7k70m

There are many things I do not understand about the Democratic Establishment but the continuous use of James Carville for opinion strategies and fundraising is near the top...

I have read 82 books this year 33 poetry collections 37 novels/novellas/collections 10 nonfiction 2 plays

So if you didnt get rejected in the rush before xmas that means an acceptance is coming any day now, right?

❤️❤️❤️. Please consider preordering friends!

Anyone else bothered by the Ramboesque I will shoot at everything to solve my problems and only create bigger problems and death Nancy Wheeler? They keep trying to Sigourney Weaver in Aliens or T2 Sarah Conner her, but she just looks like an American psychopath to me.

I thought we were heading toward an AI future like Wall-E where we are all fat and lazy sitting in floating chairs while AI does everything but everyone will just take Ozempic and let AI do everything it seems...

We need more things found in the permafrost fiction...

The artist behind this site did an amazing version of the biologist from my novels. share.google/nweW8RQIX6R7...

indulge my curiosity: what's hanging near your desk for inspiration, motivation, vibe-set, etc? mine: NYer cartoon of wolves howling, captioned “It's totally pointless—that's what makes it art” & post-it with an Allen Grossman line: "A poem is about something the way that a cat is about the house"

My year in writing review: Only 26 subs. 6 poems accepted. 1 collage.

"I’m just saying that you should not try to speedrun imperialism. Capitalistic conquest should never feel rushed. It should feel like ballet: subtlety and beauty born from blood and sweat. Also, there should be hints that Russia is somehow involved."

As always, shout-out to @readinstead.bsky.social for a great year with our little @notatawp.bsky.social project/community/online goofiness. LOTS of great writers read for NAWP this year, and most of those videos are here: m.youtube.com/@notatawp

Its the final night of Hanukkah and it's the rule that anyone who has any of my Jewish poems must send me a verdict.

My bday was yesterday. For belated bday present, please consider donating (or at least sharing). Folks are welcome to match my $50! Love.

Every time! Very much this right now.

My new favorite thing is when someone is super vocal and against a publication or press and gets published by them 2 or 3 years later. No I am not getting into particulars, it happens enough to notice and scratch my head and go on about my day.

Every time! Very much this right now.

Crucial update: Ran into that neighbor again and he was like my wife yelled at me: "Its not George Clooney you idiot it's Don Draper"

Finished another weird poem.

Rejection is bad but watching your 9yo get rejected for a part in the school play after spending a month preparing a monologue and song for her audition is worse.

Earned my 3rd skull today! @havehashad.com

If you never research for your poems, what are you even doing?? The amount of serendipitous connections I end up making are wild.

Found out that my neighbor described me to her as that guy in our building who looks like George Clooney. Her husband and I laughed pretty hard about it, but I get to hold on to the fact that for a subset of humanity I am at George Clooney level of attractiveness.

I started using Brick and I really like it.

Watching Stranger Things with 9yo. Max dying at end of 4th season, and she goes "no it's like Princess Bride, she's only mostly dead"...10 seconds later Lucas says "its a miracle" and we all yell "Miracle Max"!

Explained Miltons Satan to AP class and one girl says after Evil shall be my good...like Elpheba? I didnt know which way to interpret this...but ultimately no Satan is not Elpheba...

New Hanukkah ritual unlocked: making Zines together after lighting candles.

Omg. His memory and his films (especially Princess Bride) will be a blessing. Can the rest of Hanukkah not include more senseless killings of Jews? Please.

Staying off social media most of the day allowed me to grieve without turning it into a signal, allowed me to avoid hot takes and no takes and silences over the death of 15 people who were celebrating Hanukkah.

I know the GOP is the dog that caught the car with messing up insurance, but can we talk about 1. 2020 Medicare for all or Medicare for all who want it ideas turned into subsidies instead. 2. The dems decided to end the shutdown to let the GOP dog catch the car so they could win backlash elections

Ok so I didn't exactly throw my back out but it feels like it could get thrown out if I'm not careful, which means, don't sit, don't lay down, don't move fast, but don't stop moving and don't twist but don't stay perfectly still... wish me luck...I blew my nose during all this and it was not fun...

I'm reading tomorrow! 5-6:45 PM ET Saturday Dec 13th A fantastic lineup that includes @monostich.bsky.social @readinstead.bsky.social and @upfromsumdirt.bsky.social @barlowadams.bsky.social and @dmurphy.bsky.social beardedbardsofbluesky.weebly.com/dec-13.html

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom
