Tottenham vs. West Ham this morning. Currently 1-0 West Ham with Ben Davies taken off the field with what looks like a broken leg, but hard to say how this will turn out.

I must say, itās very satisfying to have poems in play again. I wonāt say where, but if I get an acceptance, Iāll let you know I have GPN (good poetry news). When it goes live (print or online), Iāll tell what and where. Huzzah!

Iām sending out poems again after a long post-pandemic hiatus and was sad to see that Menacing Hedge closed January 2023. They were a special kind of weird and I will miss them.

Yes, this should turn out well. Perhaps FIFA needs to consider the term objectification a little more closely, even read a bit of Judith Butler. So many ways this is a bad idea.

Watched Arsenal vs Spurs. With a historic hat trick and truly inspired play, Eze was definitely worth the 91 mil. Too bad heās wearing the wrong shirt.

Any way you approach it, there are hard times ahead for the teaching of writing. Recognizing its value for critical thinking and new knowledge generation will be the key. How to do that is the question. AI appeals because it promises relief from āmake work.ā Creative work is not make work.

I especially liked the killjoy idea that happiness isnāt always the ultimate goal. Doing your own writing isnāt always pleasant, but it is rewarding in long-lasting ways.

As officials in Washington, D.C., target minority groups, will those with disabilities be next? ⢠Kansas Reflector
The administration usually refers to these āothersā with collective nouns. My concern is that people with disabilities will be next.

If the suddenness of the firing and its financial impact werenāt enough, the baseless claim of poor performance added insult to injury.

A few days ago, I thought spring was close because skunks were out, vigorously spraying their turf. I hope they still have their hideyholes, because the snow is back and itās colder than ever.
