Beautiful!!
So enjoyed stopping by the Grist table at AWP to pick up my contributor copy of the most recent issue! Thanks to @grrrbinsky.bsky.social and Maggie Rue Hess for including this poem! Love sharing space with some friends here, too! 💙

Ha seriously I am sounding a little hoarse already! Let’s find some way to meet up. I’ll be tabling for Grist from 9-11 tomorrow, but after that mostly wandering (+ probably some panels…and finding quiet spaces/comfy chairs).
This is why I keep coming back. It means so much to me to be able to connect with community in this way. It was so good to see you!!!
I love seeing everyone at AWP, I love the panels and offsite reading and discovering new books but omg it just started and my body is in so much pain 😫
Omg that looks so good!
I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link!

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.
At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.
H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!
Jalen Giovanni Jones (@jalengjones.bsky.social) speaks with Rob Macaisa Colgate about his debut poetry collection “Hardly Creatures,” meeting the needs of your readers, and why he’s bored of the current state of disability poetics.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.
Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

After reading this motion, I scheduled a recurring monthly donation to transgenderlawcenter.org/donate/
What Bogi is describing happened to us - we reached out to an org to try to understand our options wrt our complex situation, and never heard back.
Last year I also reached out to our local ACLU multiple times and heard nothing back.
Every org is overloaded.

I’d really like to see this particular fund- for the neighborhood where Renee Good was murdered and ICE goons abducted many- infused with funds.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.
They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
GO DONATE.
