Hello free thought pattern because I don’t have time or research to write about it: 1) you see a video and react like a human being that’s human 2) you see a video and take a beat and react like a pundit you’re DOING AI IN REAL LIFE YOU ARE PREDICTING WORDS NOT EXPRESSING HUMANITY

A two panel cartoon depicting the Egyptian god Anubis at a desk with a scale.

Panel 1: Anubis saying "YO WHADDUP, IT'S YA BOI ANUBIS, BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER SOUL UNBOXING VIDEO"

Panel 2: Anubis placing a tiny charlie Kirk on the scale with a feather, saying "NOW AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS ONE IS A LITTLE HEAVIER THAN A FEATHER, WHICH LONGTIME VIEWERS WILL KNOW IS REALLY BAD HAHA"

In the past, we've received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which is a miniscule portion of the national budget & under threat of being eliminated. This year, NEA guidelines were changed, and the guidelines would prevent us from publishing any one of our award-winning books.

I’m so proud of the work I do with @noemipress.bsky.social and grateful for the freedom that being an independent press affords us: to publish urgent, important work from poets who are usually overlooked.

Is being mad about the general state of being trans in the world a good enough reason to have a sale? Yes, yes it is.

just a reminder that despite somewhat dismal sales numbers, people who've read my book said they found it important and clarifying, and emotionally resonant, and thoughtful, and well-written. and i hope you'll consider buying it as we move into the era it describes:

my partner & I are on a pretty restrictive grocery budget, for money & to avoid waste, but every year at Christmas we go to Trader Joe’s & get anything & everything we want & anticipation of that is quite possibly the only thing keeping my brain running right now

Noemi Press is hyped to publish Juan Felipe Herrera’s new collection, THE COSMIC FLOW.

I say this w/o hyperbole, this is unlike any book he has ever made. Following the pandemic shutdown, he began a daily practice of artpoem mandalas. He did this for years.

This is part of the outcome.
