Really honored and in shock to be on all three Touchstone Short Lists with five works…with four whiptail works alongside! Still just enjoying this moment!

Can't stop thinking about this Adam Zagajewski poem

Meet the article Reviewer #2 called "extremely assignable" for grad and undergrad students

The Salvia greggi does not know it’s supposed to wait another month. Think this may be “Dark Dancer” but there’s too many cultivars these days.

The ‘dual state’ framework explains how a dictator can exercise power while life appears mostly ordinary.

"Each day of the trial, the courtroom filled with community members. Current and former students and colleagues, members of the California Faculty Association from various universities and students who had heard about the case all came to show support..." www.huffpost.com/entry/jonath...

Haiku-a-day #17 sighing the narrative of snow Sondra J. Byrnes naad anunaad: an anthology of contemporary haiku from around the world - Edited by Kala Ramesh (2016)

No shade to the OP for admitting this, but it shocks me that people my age don’t know this. You fundamentally cannot understand how the world functions, how power works, if you don’t know history.

To be able to feel is sacred in the midst of a world that feeds on starving the soul #poetry

Electric eels! Childhood nightmare! Cartoon weapon! Able to generate shocks of nearly 900 volts to stun prey and ward off predators! But that’s an INSANE voltage, actually—why does it need to be so large? 1/7 ⚛️🧪

now that spring has come turn your pale flags to the wind stand of white poplars

I managed to pay my rent (somewhat) but I'm overdrawn now and I have to pay 389€ next week for business taxes T_T sorry to ask again but this year has been really bad so far

Thank you very much for featuring this haiku

Coming soon: New hummingbirds This tiny beauty made her perfect little nest on my neighbor's wind chimes. When she showed it to me, I thought the bird and nest were a decoration, but they're real. 🥺 #BlueSkyArtShow #new #SmallBirdSaturday #EastCoastKin #ECK

"There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story." -Linda Hogan

#Artemis II 🚀 Mission Commander Reid Wiseman after being collected from the Orion Spacecraft “On the helicopter leaving the ship right now. This planet is impossibly beautiful from every altitude I’ve seen it…surface to 250,000 miles”

Haiku of the day at thehaikufoundation.org gathering mist on a twilight hill a dreamer bathes — Kala Ramesh

🧵American women (in particular WW) really need to start internalizing this: The ~concern~ that many (mostly) white & male politicians express for women's safety isn't about our safety but about instrumentalizing us as delivery mechanisms for statements about white men's power over non-white men.

Re-Entry As school kids in the moonshot era, we'd count down loud and often: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 BLASTOFF. Now I'm old, its the astronauts' splashdown that opens my heart. earth's curve flattening as the air around them burned finally safe home #haibun #haiku

Artemis II is set to return to Earth in just a few hours. To celebrate, let's take a look at my favorite image taken during the mission. This image captures an Earthset, the Earth setting behind the Moon's horizon. Technically, there's actually no such thing as an Earthset. (1/3) #ArtemisII 🔭⚛️🧪🛰️

As far as I know there is literally no reason for this, it is just an incredibly lucky coincidence that we get to enjoy for free

They spent a decade complaining about safe spaces and then made a robot to give you compliments and tell you your mp3 of farting noises is Brian Eno

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.
