So grateful to @StanchionZine for including my poem in Issue 21, β€œThe Music Issue.” This journal is consistently gorgeous, timely, and so well-curated. Being in print never looked so good. πŸ‘ #poem #poetry #poet #writer #writing #nonfiction #amwriting #writingcommunity #Philly

cannot stress enough how absurd it is that our government officials are mocking Iranian leadership for being delusional theocrats when they themselves genuinely believe this war is a mission from God to prepare the holy land for the Book of Revelations

If you’re at AWP, feel free to wander around awkwardly and escape uncomfortable conversation by waving at people who aren’t there and and then quickly walking that direction, in my stead.

I’m so sorry. My sister went through something like this. It’s insane. A failure as a society.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Felt like I was going insane watching people accept an AI model's explanation for why that same AI model committed a war crime.

My dead poems published in journals that no longer exist talking to my dead stories published in journals that no longer exist.

I am actively fighting this trend with the passion of a crusader in a religious war. I’m a patriot for the belly pooch. I will die to preserve thick thighs. Come back on your charcuterie board, or not at all.

"I’d never been so jealous of a cigarette in my life, so envious of ash, to glow from the touch of her lips, to fall at her feet and be completely consumed."

This is one of my favourite @barlowadams.bsky.social CNFs.

You know, Sarah, with you I believe this.

I was actually talking about you last week. Someone asked me who I thought were some of the best flash readers (meaning performers) and you were the first name I thought of.

Thank you, my friend. ❀️
