Happy Unsuccessful National Poetry Competition Entry Day to all those who celebrate 🙏🏻

These are my weekend plans. What are your weekend plans?

(CAConrad, While Standing in Line for Death)

I’m getting a divorce and I’ve really enjoyed using ‘I’m getting a divorce’ as an excuse not to do things, and when I have finished having a divorce, I think I might miss it.

Omg i love this

Devastated I can’t go to this - it looks so fun! 😈

Join us tomorrow night! I'll be hosting guest poet Yousif M. Qasmiyeh + open mic

YES THAT'S RIGHT VALENTINE'S DAY POETRY OPEN MIC - ONLINE! I'll be reading something angsty to kick things off 💃

Democracy is Crumbling. Is Anybody Doing Anything? Yes. And You Can Too.

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.”

Lots of information and resources in this one.

Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

On the one one hand, political moaning on the internet changes nothing, on the other hand, these are not political problems - they are moral problems and Elon Musk is an extremely evil person so why not call a thing what it is?

Storyville Books Bookshop UK Nestled in the rolling hills of the South Wales valleys, we are the only independent bookshop in Pontypridd, selling new books and more.

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.

If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.
