This crab is going to organize its community against digital surveillance and I am here for it.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

"Unrivered begins with a green field, and guides us through a remarkable journey of expressive power and vulnerability. I'm so grateful for this balm–this impassioned reckoning of the body and the outdoors."

I’m already seeing people who position themselves as progressive or liberal “joking” that Trump should occupy these cities instead. Y’all are so disappointing.

Present Tense by Todd Dillard My father’s telling me about his dog, how it fell into a well when they were walking down a wooded path. His dog ran across some rotted planks, the planks splintered, “And whoosh!” my father says. “No more dog.” I look at the clock and remind my father it’s three A.M. “I’m not finished,” he says. He tells me about the rope he bought, the bucket, how he knotted the rope to the bucket, lowered it down, and yelled for the dog to get in. “But all I pulled up was more barking.” “Dad,” I say. “This never happened.” He says he can’t remember how long he tried to get the dog to shimmy into the bucket. Just that at some point when the sky turned tawny—“Dad—“ as a pitcher of sweet tea—“Dad—“ he decided to give up. “Dad,” I say. “It’s late. I’m tired. And you’re dead.” “Dammit, son,” my father says. “Let me finish!” My father tells me about filling the bucket with dirt and pouring the dirt into the well. And I know what he’s getting at, I know he’s going to tell me bucket by bucket he filled the well and the dog jumped out. He’s going to say something about how the dog led him home through the dark. I know this so loudly I don’t hear, at first, my father’s silence. “Dad?” I say. “Dad, are you there?” I keep lowering the bucket but all I ever pull up are leaves. Red leaves. Lately, some gold.

my issue of Threepenny is here! here’s my poem “Present Tense,” I would love for you to give it a read!

“I know this so loudly I don’t
hear, at first, my father’s silence.”

I saw the photo before I saw who posted this, and I thought, that looks like a dog Aimee Nezhukumatathil might have!

ha ha you guessed it! 🌸🌸🌸

Perhaps you might need to see a picture of my rescue dog, River Pearl, in my garden. 2 years ago she was found wandering the streets of Chattanooga and no one claimed her. Until I wrote a letter to her shelter to say why I’d give her the very best life. She’s named after the state gem of Tennessee.

Oh darn! Filed my claim this morning.

Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Once abundant in California waters, the sunflower sea star was nearly wiped out by sea star wasting disease. The cause wasn't clear at first, but one culprit has been identified—a bacterium named Vibrio pectenicida. This finding may help scientists understand and control this disease.
