As always, I only share stuff when actionable. Renee Good's fundraiser I missed, and now it's more than exceeded its goal. I hesitate to call anything about this 'good', but I'm glad that so many people stepped up. Let's do the same for Keith Porter's family.

"We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day." Becca Good should never have had to share this, but it's also the clearest and most powerful thing written this week.

"they're baiting people into doing it don't give them what they want" shut up. for once just shut up.

Minneapolis has not forgotten George Floyd.

Reading State of Seige by Mahmoud Darwish- in the forward by Munir Akash:

Went and did a lil walkin and yellin with folks tonight. I'm still full of feels, but it was good to be with other people feelin feels too.

We hold all this shit inside us. May it feed beautiful vines that grab, hold, pull down the bricks that hold us in. Like let us be that invasive English vine that destroys Nice suburbs. Weave baskets from our our dead to hold fruits from the forest that can feed the young, so they bloom too, one day

Look, it's a petition. Do the bare minimum.

nicole is the second person murdered by ICE this year. keith porter was shot by an ICE agent on new year’s eve, ICE is claiming self defense in this case, too. www.latimes.com/california/s...

"For years, people have warned...loyalty to Israel would be destructive not just for Palestinians but eventually for everyone else. The poison...will inevitably spread—to the Caribbean Sea, the streets of Minneapolis...Left unchecked, it will sicken us all." defector.com/ice-is-model...

Does anybody have resources for prompts or resources specifically for writing/poetry as a form of resistance?

How are we accessing feelings of hope right now friends? Asking for a friend who is me and who is in despair.

I am sick to death of right-wingers getting a veto over factual reality, and of journalists giving them that veto.

Writing is a form of resistance. Go do it.

Minneapolis public schools cancelled classes for a week because of ICE coming on school property and brutalizing people. Read that again.

We will not erase her queerness from the narrative either.

While trying to drag myself thru my am routine, I was reminded that these people don't see themselves as evil. They have justified their actions to live with them, to benefit from them. You can't moralize with somebody who needs to believe that they are protecting their way of life, right?

'She was a prize-winning #poet & a hobby guitarist, & ... a US citizen.' And the mother of 3. 'She was extremely compassionate...She's taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving & affectionate.' #poetry #PoetryCommunity 🕯️🕯️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“i’m going back to Minnesota where sadness makes sense” by Danez Smith one of my favorite poems

good morning to the fresh cracks in my stupid, busted, candy-ass heart

I need a thunder jacket and some prozac.

I am shocked that so many of you think that a blue midterm will 1) happen 2) do anything to stop what's actually happening

The downside of waiting until you're not at work to really find out big bad news is then you can't sleep and you're still distraught at work the next day

1. New Jersey is one of the last blue states to not have passed a transgender shield/sanctuary state law for trans youth. Despite having a trifecta, Democratic leadership is refusing to put the bill up for a vote as the lameduck session comes to a close. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I also found a poem fragment that wants to grow up to be a real poem but it's not there yet. So frustrating 😭

have named a poem "dead mom poem"

I want to be a thawing lake, but i think you could still go ice fishing on me

Weird how the concentration camps have fallen out of the headlines. 🤔 I wonder if it was like this in Germany? Everybody knew, but the regime was spraying so much bullshit and death everywhere everyday that it somehow got lost in the shuffle?

ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis and is attempting to say it was self-defense, the mayor himself is challenging that narrative www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

8-26-25 I wanted to say grubby because damn what a word but my hands are elegant as fuck long and strong perfect for a writer, a cellist, a queer humblebrag Anyway these hands wrote these words this poem is handcrafted which really shouldn't be the bare minimum but here we are

I wrote a poem in my head on the walk into work today but forgot to write it down. It probably would have ended up as a shared journal entry at some point 😅

8-11-25 (this later became a real poem) What a tragedy to marry that musician and learn that lyre and liar have no practical difference

9-17-25 Sunflowers That bouquet wasn't here for a long time but a good time it rots and I plan to harvest the seeds is it still gruesome if it's natural

9-19-25 (re the state of poets) maybe we won't have Wikipedia entries but we can still know each other by berry stained lips

11-17-25 i am left dreamy in the fall caught under golden leaves

I'm putting together submission packets, so you know that means! It's sharing random journal entries time! 11-4-25 my body feel surreal distant a nightmare a sunset obscured, haloed in dream clouds and outlines of birds I remember the pain and refocus

OK I AM FULLY OBSESSED WITH THIS PILOT FOR WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS MAGICAL GIRL ROLLER DERBY

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee no i am not writing in dutch, damn, bsky

A song that popped into my brain with no prompting.

It's really, really hitting. Thankful me and my fam all keep up on our vaccinations because this is out of control. Pretty sure at least half of us would have been in the ER last week if not for them.
