indeed.

May your anger be an instrument of prayer too-and to keep writing through it all.

Nothing was your fault. We live in a capitalist society where there will always be those who need help and who suffer. Unless we somehow, miraculously, change our governance system. But I do understand the way stigma and shame infiltrate our psyches. Thank you.

I'll be in conversation with Ronda Thorington. Registration links also here.

Yeah, some of us kind of predicted the price of food going up given his desire to deport so many...I mean it doesn't take an economist to tell us this.

Or get the money for research via other sources. Private funders.I think we have to outsmart the censors.

"Creative" wording might help get the money. That was my concern. Getting the money, doing the work, and calling it something else in order to "trick" the powers that be in government. Writers in Communist countries have been doing this for years.

No saying you should. It's just what's happening in the "government" world.

Trump hits NIH with ‘devastating’ freezes on meetings, travel, communications, and hiring Researchers facing “a lot of uncertainty, fear, and panic”

Also the NIH is frozen. We saw this in his first term, but the actions are swifter and more sweeping now. Protect your work. download it. Keep copies. Also, do not apply for any grant money using the words "health equity." www.science.org/content/arti...

Under communications freeze, CDC updates some important health data but not others One of the CDC's weekly health publications was not published on its regular schedule, and some data about flu and vaccinations wasn't updated.

The menace is moving quickly to suppress information. This "freeze" of information is chilling. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

oof, thank you for this one. So hard, especially now with the current administration.

So grateful to Bear at Verse Daily for reposting this poem.

It's been a good year for me with words, but all that is temporary, n'est ce pas? Nonetheless, I persist. And are you writing?

good good luck. Are you still doing letterpress work?

thank you Claudia!

so very sad and only "fans more flames" of hatred and disinformation.

I have written so many "fire" poems. This is in my book Since the House Is Burning, but was written years ago. Sadly, still relevant.

California Community Foundation In the aftermath of a disaster, immediate needs for victims can include shelter, food, cash and other basic needs. A community’s recovery is often more complex and depends on the scope of the disaster...
