We are Gathering for Hot Springs National Park! Join us Sunday March 2nd, 12-3pm on Arlington Lawn at the end of Bathhouse Row to show our love and support for Hot Springs National Park, and our Rangers and staff.

If only we'd been warned about all this in advance, say with a meticulously detailed plan whose title was the year they planned to carry it out.

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

This week, approximately 200,000 federal workers have been let go.

Kamala told us this would happen.

Please share: We’ve received word that Elon Musk’s staffers are using space characters to identify information leakers. Before sharing any information, please use a checker to detect and remove these.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Still here. Still queer.

😲 Wow. My poem “I Am My Own Country Now,” published on inauguration day as my act of resistance, was the most read poem of January at ONE ART: a journal of poetry. If you need a reminder of how to persist in these dark days, you can find it here. oneartpoetry.com/2025/01/20/i...

Can’t keep up with the absolute insane amount of fresh new hell unfolding each moment. This is generational damage.

This is fucking reprehensible

Do not go gentle

"My neighbors pushed a lotus back down into the mud when we were so close to the surface, when we were at the cusp of breakthrough, when we could almost see her iridescent petals" A poem for these times, from @kaicoggin.bsky.social in @oneart.bsky.social

Just finished a Hellbender reading/workshop with Jane Hirschfield & got super emotional hearing her read. Her poems are so dear to me. Thanks to Nickole Brown and @kaicoggin.bsky.social for leading a beautiful evening.

Mother of Other Kingdoms (@kaicoggin.bsky.social) Coggin’s poems paint a detailed picture of life with her “more-than-human children.” I love the space her poems make for mothering beyond the biological: “It’s not that I can’t have children / It’s that I already do.” @smallharborpub.bsky.social 5/

Trust your anger. It is a demand for love. —Natalie Diaz & Christian Campbell

hey hi bluesky you may also know me from this post ::

"How we stand here is important, how we breathe." Canadian writer Madeleine Thien donated the entirety of her $25,000 Writers' Trust of Canada prize to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, Lebanese Red Cross and the Woodcock Fund.

I’ve raised 4 generations of Luna moths since April & released over 150 beauties into the wild night. In late October, my 62 cocoons decided “nope” & are overwintering, meaning they’ll just hang out in their sleeping bags until spring. I make sure they still wiggle every couple weeks. 💚#naturalist

I’m so gay, I drink pre-workout to chop firewood. 🪵 🪓 🔥

Pincushion moss. Such a gorgeous little variegated love, like a tiny globe, a world I would live in. #moss #nature #naturalist

I’ve been leaning into mosses and lichen lately. Parmeliaceae is a family of lichen that can grow and flourish just about anywhere, from tree canopies to in-between rocks. They thrive in a multitude of climates as well, ranging from the Arctic to the rainforest. #naturalist #nature #lichen

love a good “O” in a poem, little fearless halo, the line’s volume knob turned all the way up, the stanza’s submarine window through which we glimpse an ocean of thought and feeling
