Beautiful haiku. Congrats, Annette.

Today may be the day for me to play the lotto! In 4.5 years I've *seen* two Pacific Wrens in the yard (maybe heard a few more) Today TWO Pacific Wrens just runnin' all around the place - like right out in the open! And posing for photos... Wren 1 #birds #becurious

The idea of inviting Darcie Little Badger, the queer indigenous author of (brilliant, you should read them if you haven't) queer indigenous books and giving her this list of forbidden words and concepts is... it's fucking bizarre

✒️ A Calligraphic Wall Panel, Poem, 1900 "Be rich in heart and content with little, Even if you die, do not seek a livelihood from the lowly, Do not let your heart be wounded in order to sustain your life, Indeed, provision comes from the Most Generous God."

A warm late November afternoon raking leaves, watching squirrels torment the small dog who is convinced that someday he will rid his kingdom of the intruders. The news reports the Border Patrol has taken 85 South away from Charlotte. The small dog and I know to remain vigilant.

Thank you to Ned Hayes and The Human Intelligence Podcast for inviting me to talk about human creativity, the future of the humanities, and my new book, The Teacher. You can watch the full episode at the link below.

• The claim "aliens have not taken over the White House" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that aliens have taken over the White House Because apparently the way we do science now is by saying something is probably true unless definitively disproven

I went to a zoom training tonight for doing school patrols to protect parents & kids from ICE who are showing up at local schools. I cannot believe we live in a country where we as citizens have to patrol elementary schools. I cried. And was equally inspired by my neighbors.

There's ample reason to be frustrated and angry about the WaPo right now, but this one they got exactly right.

#5lines #poem after getting lost on a journey we find our way by following the scent of old poems burning in a bonfire

smoke of old poems twining through leafless trees: winter flowering #haiku

Trees are the best audience. They listen attentively & patiently stay for the whole performance. Sometimes they #bend down, all the better to hear. After the reading, they applaude with rustling foliage & shower the poet with golden leaves. #whistpr

Prof. Michal Raucher addresses this study with some questions about what a rabbi is, what the title is, what it is to teach Torah, what authority is, and what women have done for centuries:

I personally had this issue with access, so I am especially happy to see this!!!

Shalom, friends! Lilith has entered the chat — and she’s bringing centuries of mystery with her. Is she a demon, feminist icon or something far more complex? Explore her many lives and legends in my latest glossary entry for @rebootjewish.bsky.social !🦉🌙 rebooting.com/glossary/lil...

Today is Səgd (ስግድ), an ancient holy day for the Ethiopian Jewish community. Read this lovely article about it, which includes memory, theological reflection, and a recipe.

This is what happens when anti-intellectualism takes over a country, a natural consequence of populism. The good work of science and history are eschewed, the past gets rewritten, and suffering is the only consequence. As a historian, let me say: polio and measles were indeed that bad.

This is not what the problem is. We have many excellent, talented, engaging science communicators. Their reach is deliberately truncated by the social media companies, and billionaire-owned news outlets do not platform them.

Fox I heard a cough as if a thief was there outside my sleep a sharp intake of air a fox in her fox-fur stepping across the grass in her black gloves barked at my house just so abrupt and odd the way she went hungrily asking in the heart's thick accent 🍂 #poem excerpt: Alice Oswald #art see Alt

@leighgoodwin.bsky.social thanks for reposting, Leigh.

Why shouldn't we mythologize our lives? I've been thinking that most of us need to be the heroes/heroines of our own stories...that i do...so we can make those stories a way of developing our intergity and kindness.

@poemakontsa.bsky.social thank you! Can you un-post it so I can add the word i missed?🙃

Homage to Claudius Ptolemy (Palatine Anthology 9.577) I am a man: little do I last and the night is enormous. But I look up: the stars write. Unknowing I understand: I too am written, and at this very moment someone spells me out. -Octavio Paz (tr. Eliot Weinberger)
