In response to headline “Cruz-Led Investigation Uncovers $2 Billion in Woke DEI Grants at NSF, Releases Full Database” I want to re-emphasize that all these grants were public record and written in response to public solicitations supporting DEI content. No “uncovering” or “releasing” was done here

And it was SO GOOD!!

See a Nazi? Report/ban a Nazi. It's up to us.

What is it I plan to do with my one wild and precious 20 minutes before my next meeting starts?

I haven't read this book but I'm not at all surprised; the work of Kiki's I have read (ex: sundressblog.com?s=%22black+g...) is absolutely brilliant.

Hey #poets and #authors - what work can you recommend that engages with the nonsensical in a reverent way without trying to make sense of it? And/or, how do you engage with nonsense (/whimsy/illogic/play/etc.) in your work and process?

If you had enough money to retire right this second, how would you spend your days?

It's here! It's here!

RIP Louise Glück

The Wild Iris At the end of my suffering there was a door. Hear me out: that which you call death I remember.  Overhead, noises, branches of the pine shifting. Then nothing. The weak sun flickered over the dry surface. It is terrible to survive as consciousness buried in the dark earth. Then it was over: that which you fear, being a soul and unable to speak, ending abruptly, the stiff earth bending a little. And what I took to be birds darting in low shrubs. You who do not remember passage from the other world I tell you I could speak again: whatever returns from oblivion returns to find a voice: from the center of my life came a great fountain, deep blue shadows on azure seawater. Louise Glück

Devastated to hear of Louise Glück’s passing.

OOF

This is an EXCELLENT cat.

MUMS

Why go with "vegan" when "cornivore" was right there??

I got my first lash lift today and afterward she was like "don't get these wet for 24 hours" like, oh, sure, Tara, like I can just NOT cry for an entire day

I radically accept this primo slice, kowabunga 🤙

It's a long and widespread tradition (of poetic self-torture)!

I'd have an easier time with radical acceptance if there were more ninja turtles involved

I've purchased more than one Brother wifi-enabled printer. I honestly kinda love them.

Huh. *Everything* is a mirror to me.

Ooh I love Unstable Unicorns. That game is BRUTAL

US COVID SHOTS ARE FREE.

Please do not let Walgreens and CVS mislead you or your family members or neighbors about this! They are the biggest part of the federal bridge (free shots for uninsured people) program, but the rollout’s logistics have been a little scattered and you may get pushback.

Oof. This micro by @kimmagowan.bsky.social in
@fracturedlit.bsky.social is kind of like a for-real elbow to the gut. So good. Read it!
