rohita kadambi making me laugh so so hard in public

was teaching myself—hair still wet, house still messy—THE song, to play for a beloved who’s had an absolute shit crisis of a year; then realized that’s most beloveds, and so also maybe you. and then it quickly became—as all things do—about the dog.

and me, who it did NOT kill

does anyone know who is in charge of tv in this stupid country to get me the softball lesbians

last day of the last year you loved them last day of the year of your last relapse last day of the last year you felt too scared to begin it last day of the last year you felt too scared to end it last day of the year that almost broke you last day of the year that didn’t break you

one of my all-time favorite flavors of text to receive

Like Alex, I’ve been in touch with Ramzi frequently over the last few months. He is working so hard to care for his family, all while enduring the most brutal conditions. Anything you can spare will help him buy food, but if donating is not possible, signal boosting also rocks.

“burn off that mom pooch in 2026!!” “get rid of your puffy cortisol face + show off your jawline in 2026!!” newborns are freezing and starving to death in gaza/we are carrying pregnancies to term against our will/there is incredible sex to be had in your current body/please get a whole fucking grip

Ramzi with the new tent you helped him buy. Now he again needs food for his family if you can help again. tinyurl.com/5b7fw72b

what if something nice happens tomorrow

have begun to receive the “will you be at AWP this year??” texts and goddamn is it nice to Gather. especially with Baltimore pals and especially with queer & writer pals from everywhere. I love books and I love writers and I love humans 💘

Please share this far and wide. On and off line. Together we can get them to and past this goal. Together. donorbox.org/palmetto-sta...

Hannah Pingree is running for Governor in Maine and all her bumper stickers just say HANNAH in this huge bold aggressive font w/ the other details as fine print so every day I’m driving around my city / on the coastal highway just feeling randomly stressed and like I, personally, am in Big Trouble™️

every cute-ass piece of #wnba merch—I mean EVERY crop top and hoodie and pair of sweats I want—is like $96,000. and I KNOW that money’s not going to the players so I’m catching an attitude about it

I’m a monthly donor. Please join me. They are volunteers. They do necessary work. We can get there. They need our help.

happy birthday to @eliotcardinaux.bsky.social, who wrote this perfect poem

my people are voracious readers + writers + poets + musicians + art-makers who also have crushing day jobs and young children to parent and lovers/friends/communities/organizing to show up for, so you are constantly + desperately treading water in the grief-sea of Too Much Love Not Enough Time/Money

IT FOLLOWS THE NEW YORKER STYLE GUIDE I AM *WHEEZING*

I’m only 3/4ths through this book, but I’m wrecked. Lots of people have correctly noted that it feels important, but (a) he’s a damn good storyteller, and (b) it’s hard to read this and not constantly see how the attempt to prop up the violence of western hegemony wrecks all our lives

guy who hears about “ethical non-monogamy” and assume it’s meant in the same way as ethical basketball

reading a word file on my laptop was one thing, holding this vibrant nourishing beautiful exquisite meal of a memoir in my hands is another. favorite galley brag of 2025 by far @catapultbooks.bsky.social @krysmalcolmbelc.bsky.social (trust me when I say: preorder this one)

ok but the new ~historic~ 90s American Girl dolls are obviously and canonically bisexual

“how are you” “how’s your winter going” “how’s your mental health” “how is the book coming along” well let’s take a look together at the kind of jewelry my algo thinks I might like to buy and wear, these days, shall we

More festive neighborhood decorations!

Don’t forget to leave a brick out for Ben Folds this morning

1) merry christmas!!!!! 2) it’ll pass

walked through the snow to pick up a friend’s toddler and watch her for a few hours + give her mom a break. she came out in her snowsuit clutching a half-eaten roll in one mittened hand, which she showed to me and said: “this is my bread so I don’t get upset”

baby-of-the-family-to-parent pipeline stays crazy and unreasonable. what do you mean I’m responsible for Santa’s mood and vibe and time management choices tonight

be the things you loved most about the people who are gone

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

(my friends are booing me as I type this) forgiveness is an orgasm for the soul

hey so is anyone else having a ho-ho-ho-hard time

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

someone I loved died this year and left an elizabeth bishop collection FULL of marginalia in his gorgeous handwriting. he’s dead and still I get to have a glass of wine with him and his mind and his ideas and his heart. he’s dead and still he is telling me new things, about poetry and about himself.

sorry, I can only produce and arrange the shapes of my language into anything that could be called “a piece of writing” if I first acquire an assortment of pillows and then contort my body into a posture that would send an orthopedic surgeon or physical therapist into incalculable psychic distress

even my five-year-old knows that the longer you ignore the tangles, the more it hurts to brush your hair

support independent media. idk what else to say right now.

sometimes reading my own draft elicits the same feeling as when my child makes eye contact with me while doing something I specifically told them not to do
