I’m part of this chorus and both the Kennedy Center and the NSO have tried to cover their asses claiming it was cancelled due to “artist availability” and/or “financial issues” but this is blatantly untrue based on what we know. We will be performing the musical during World Pride regardless so 🖕🏼

poetry is like gossiping about god and praying to a pine tree

they did it

to continue to write is to be surrounded by ghosts

Saeed Jones and Maggie Smith's THE PEOPLE'S PROJECT, an anthology of essays, poetry, and art on perseverance, action, and care in the face of political uncertainty to act as a guidebook for the years ahead, from 25 contributors including Marlon James, Alexander Chee, Ashley C. Ford, Chase Strangio, Hala Alyan, Alice Wong, and Imani Perry, to Jenny Xu at Washington Square Press, for publication in fall 2025.

Like so many of you, my friend @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social and I have been having a conversation about this country’s future.

Now we’re turning our dialogue into a book featuring poems and essays from Marlon James, Alexander Chee, Ashley C. Ford, Chase Strangio, Imani Perry and more!

Guardian vs. NYT. You know who's going to call things by their true names and who's not even gonna give you syrup with that waffle.

Guardian: "Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes....

So the fun thing about being a adoptee (especially if you aren’t yt)🥚 is that we don’t get to have any rights to our actual OG birth certificates and not everyone even gets the most basic info about their biological families. So like we can’t prove that our bio parents were actually citizens

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute"

Historians: "that's a nazi salute"

Average person: "that's a nazi salute"

The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

Tired by Langston Hughes I am so tired of waiting, Aren’t you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two — And see what worms are eating At the rind.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

I know those boys scissor. Probably sign their texts with

If you're wondering, "Did I do enough today?" You did.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

It’s so fun to have a true, genuine folk hero emerge in 2024. A mysterious stranger whose action represents the frustrations, hopes, and dreams of the people. I hope we never learn anything more about him.

When you spent billions and destroyed your brand to recreate 1930's Germany and got 1780's France instead.
