Discovered this new album today and it is extremely For The Poets: m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I am belatedly realizing (again) that the periods in my life during which I wrote and published next to nothing were times when I was extremely burned out. And looking back that has been..... a lot of times.

There are certainly worse times for your toddler to have a sleep regression but shortly after a traumatizing layoff is pretty fuckin bad. She might also be sick. We'll find out tomorrow I guess!

Officially unemployed so I'm rewatching Lord of the Rings, as one does. They truly don't go this hard anymore. Unbridled earnestness and artistry in every single shot. (okay no, very different film but there's Sinners. There's always Sinners.)

Next chapbook title: Dissociating at the OfficeMax

More mom poems to come, I hope (am I ever not writing mom poems, even when I'm not writing mom poems?) but for now, resharing this one from @havehashad.com, which I still feel so in love with. www.havehashad.com/hadposts/cou...

A poem for Mother's Day. From @katejbaer.bsky.social's book, And Yet: bit.ly/baerandyet #poem #booksky #writing

YOU - “Our lives are very different from each other.” JOYCE MESSIER - “No doubt -- but we share the same time and position on the planet's crust. That counts for more than you'd think.”

I figure when someone else writes the book you've been trying to figure out how to write you ought to give it some love! This looks amazing and I'm so excited to read it.

Job hunting in a hostile environment. ✨

Off to fancy breakfast and the big central library to celebrate Mother's Day. It's dreary and overcast. It's been a hard week but this is wonderful.

It exists! I interviewed backup dancers, producers, the costume designer, the song’s producers who granted the rights, and so many more who were involved: web.archive.org/web/20240227...

God I wish childcare in this country didn't suck shit. I wish the dipshits in charge gave a single solitary fuck about children and families. I knew it was bad before I had a kid but y'all it is *so bad.*

Watched Sinners again last not. Not exactly news but my god what a perfect film. There's an interview where Coogler talks about wanting to create a movie that's both a rich text that lends itself to deep critical analysis, and also just a damn good time. Somehow he managed to deliver 100%

As always, there is a lot I will get wrong as a parent. But I'm pretty happy with how we're doing this piece.

Regular reminder that Disco Elysium is phenomenal, and Kim Kitsuragi is perfect.

I haven't seen a bleeding heart in *years.* This photo reminded me of how glorious they are, so I had to share.

Hell yes.

I have a lot of art I haven't put up yet so I've been holding off buying more, but sometimes you see a piece that you cannot live without.

Today I yearn for nothing more than finally finishing Baldur's Gate 3 and ready fanfiction. Alas, capitalism.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

New comic is up. Here are my favorite bits. www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/cr...

OPINION: Austin’s guaranteed income program helped me break the cycle of generational poverty.

We used to be a proper internet

I'm so burned out it feels untrue to say anything except "stop working" but I'd love to write full time. Kidlit, poetry, maybe the comic I've been ruminating on forever. Or visual art. More realistically, I'd do my "organize all your shit" song and dance for every nonprofit and arts org in town.

Making my way through Alice Notley's "Early Works" at my typical glacial pace and I've rarely wanted to go back to school so badly. I want to *dissect* these poems.

Apologies for the vagueness, but: the last few months have been really, really bad. Today I finally started a poem about it. Healing isn't on the table yet, but I'll call that progress.

The microscopic tragedy of writing down a kickass first line, and the rest of the poem just kind of goes "meh."

Yeah I'm buying this for the cover alone, hot damn

Fascinating thread on Magyar's win. Turns out, showing up and giving a shit does, in fact, make a difference!

Fantasizing about ditching tech for a career in kidlit. I am acutely aware of all the reasons that's not reasonable but it's a nice thought.

FINALLY updated my website with all two (2) publications I've managed since, uh.... 2018 🥲 As a reward for triumphing over Wordpress' janky editor I cracked open the tin of sardines I've been saving for a special occasion.

What I Mean When I Say I'm Tired ~ K.E. Sermonté "I want quiet. I want the mercy of being unseen without being unloved."

Welp, the chapbook is done, TOC and all (I have a TOC!! Hell yeah!) but uh. Still need a title for the damn thing. My husband has helpfully suggested "Haley's Cool Poemz." May we all have such supportive spouses.

Finally *finally* pulling together my second chapbook and good grief the ordering of these poems is like doing deadlifts. Each one takes so much effort to lift up and haul into place. Also taking any and all advice on titles. They are still so hard! (Don't mistake me though, I'm having a blast!)

Love this public service announcement on a neighborhood bulletin board (looks like it got wet in the rain, that's why it's a bit blurry) "NO ONE CAN TAKE SELF PUBLISHING AWAY FROM YOU. NO ALGORITHMS OR OLIGARCHS CAN CENSOR YOU. NO GATEKEEPERS CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS NOT IMPORTANT..."🌹🥀

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/

If you get self-conscious about posting repeated promo, let me give you all my long-standing promo-hack, for free. (I'm not currently using it, but I will be soon! lol) This is a site without an algo, but also one that does not punish links. So what you want to do is make a strategic thread.

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.
