Poor economic policy is rooted in a sick, anxious, and underfed work force. Unwell people can't work. How is it even remotely possible that the party that prides itself on being pro-business thinks this is a sane situation? Frauds.

A list that includes our faculty-at-large José Angel Araguz!

We're welcoming NH poet Kyle Potvin this Sunday! Kyle will open our community open mic with a reading of her work, and then the family-friendly floor is yours. Join us for another "Sunday in the Barn with Bob" at 3pm on 8/3!

Interesting (annoying) trend: what a bunch of whiners and blamers the MAGA/GOP crew is turning out to be: not my signature, not my screen, not my porn, not my fault, not my... Yeah, kinda tired of dealing with the 4th grade behavior, thanks. Adulting is hard, but dammit, give it a try.

I hope you can join us for this Sunday's guest reader, Beth Kanell, and stay for the open mic after! Bring a poem or a song-- yours or a borrowed one! 3pm at The Frost Place in Franconia, NH!

This is another Trump policy we need to resist, at least if we care about novels, poetry, stage plays, and TV/film. Eliminating copyright protections is anti-human, anti-empathy, anti-intellectual and will make us meaner, stupider, less kind, and less happy. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/t...

America in a nutshell.

Flag etiquette: www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/....

Will someone please have the GOP and all their adherents refresh their memory about flag etiquette? Since it's so damned important to them to flaunt it-- like, the rule about NO WEARING IT should be enforced.

Small ethnic restaurants are closing already; they can't get their ingredients reliably. Tariffs suck.

with the new mandates, EOs, and removal of all references to women by the government I feel erased How do those women in Congress sit there and let this shit go on?

Exactly this.

Re: SAVE: the changed name issue affects people who changed their names for personal reasons as well as married women. Why is no one is talking about how it will affect those who have been adopted? Their last names on birth certs don't match, either. There's a lot more people who are affected.

I have about ten copies left of my chapbook, What to Keep. Any takers for a small book of poems? Published in February by Finishing Line Press, you can buy it from me directly instead of the "big guy." www.amazon.com/What-Keep-Ca...

...and when there is nothing left, and no one to turn to, what then? I'm feeling absolutely defeated.

If Congress even wants there to *be* a Congress, they need to act now. Today's humiliation is more than enough to trigger the 25th.
