Excited to be on these two Virginia Festival of the Book events—for Attached to the Living World (Trinity UP) and for Just Labor (Press 53)—and to enjoy many more with @va_humanities in March!

The fall-out from the release of a %age of the Epstein Files are causing ripples everywhere EXCEPT 🇺🇲 🙄 www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/...

"Trump has fundamentally reshaped the Environmental Protection Agency, initiating nearly 70 actions to undo rules protecting ecosystems and the climate." Trump is destroying our environment, poisoning our communities, and raising our costs so his ultra-rich polluter friends can get even richer.

BlueFairyVA says, Lynchburg showed UP today for No Kings!

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Today at Malaprops, Asheville, NC. If you're in the area, hope to see you there!

A bonanza of monarch cats, chrysalises, & butterflies this fall (a 5-day butterfly eclosing streak this past week). Solace in a chaotic world 🧡 #monarchs #butterflies #pollinators

Among the many sadnesses in the world right now, this is one that hits particularly close to home. Trinity UP has been fantastic to work with through the processes of co-editing, with Ann Fisher-Wirth, The Ecopoetry Anthology and then Attached to the Living World: A New Ecopoetry Anthology. 1/2

Home from Ireland but also partly still there.

Goodnight, sandhill cranes--

Thank you, Lesley!! I've been off social media for a spell, but this is so lovely to return to!

It was an absolute delight talking with @abenantoso.bsky.social for her new podcast, Backlit. Abena is so smart and warm and insightful, and this podcast series is one to bookmark and keep coming back to. Thank you, Abena!!

Yesterday, MIT Technology Review published a first-of-its-kind look at AI’s energy use and the resulting climate impact. Here’s how our reporters waded through a mess of data and hidden variables to calculate all of it.

fascinating call for The New Material Ecopoetics: "experimental eco-poetry that engages with the possibilities of organic form. We welcome experiments with lyric, visual poetics, material poetries, and sound poetries." from @arcpoetry.bsky.social

Still going on if you want to join or watch (while sipping your mimosa).

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic Sen. Cory Booker met on the steps outside the US Capitol this morning to begin a sit-in protesting congressional Republican efforts to fund President Donald Trump’s agenda: cnn.it/4iDuqn7

it’s up to the poets now. we got this.

So glad that you and your beautiful poem are in it!

Our voices are stronger when we howl together 🐺🐺

3.5%: the magic number

3.5% is all we need. 3.5% of the population being engaged and committed is the magic number to overthrow a dictator. And I'd bet that if 2% of us were *out protesting* yesterday, more of us are out there than that. Keep up the pressure.

I love Mycocosmic and am quite pleased with myself for getting one of the last copies available at AWP. I also love a beautiful book collage, and thank you, @lesleymwheeler.bsky.social for including mine!

25 hours for 2025--and beyond. Thank you for that, @booker.senate.gov

Hands Off! A bunch of big organizations (50501, Women’s March, MoveOn, Indivisible, Hands Off) are coming together on April 5 for a day of nationwide action & protest against the Trump regime. “If we don’t fight now, there won’t be anything left to save.” [kottke.org]

Booker is still going. 73K people watching on his stream, 77K on AP's, 19K on PBS NewsHour, 14K on MSNBC.

Thank you, @kaine.senate.gov, for being there on the Senate floor with and for @corybooker.com and with and for us. (And love your book.)

Are you listening? It’s the least you can do. Powerful, substantive, passionate. A clarion call to stand. www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Sen @booker.senate.gov is still going. Support him! WATCH! Call your Senator & tell them you agree with Booker. This has gone far enough. 202-224-3121 www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Bless Cory Booker for staying up all night to speak out against these evil morons. This is the kind of fight that we are all looking for.

Thank you, Sen. Cory Booker. www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

"Freedom of the press — do they feel his liberty?" Senator Cory Booker into his 20th hour filibustering on the Senate floor, calling out Trump's assault on American freedoms.

I can't believe I'm in this amazing anthology alongside friends and poets that inspired me to start writing my own poems. Go grab a copy of Attached to the Living World.

Just in from LAX for AWP. Thank you, @blackearthinst.bsky.social!

Very excited for Ann Fisher-Wirth and @elegystreet.bsky.social's new anthology Attached to the Living World: A New Ecopoetry Anthology, and not just because I have some work in it. Can't wait to grab a copy! tupress.org/978159534308...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Love this poem! So glad you're in the issue!

Thank you, Leigh Cuen, for this review in Southern Review of Books!: "The collection highlights the connection between human bodies and ecology. . . . It offers glimmers of chaos and darkness and bliss for readers who dare to confront them." southernreviewofbooks.com/2025/03/12/a...?

Attached to the Living World: A New Ecopoetry Anthology releases tomorrow! Two of my poems are in it, along with a great list of poets. I'm thrilled to be included! tupress.org/978159534308...
