So grateful to these wonderful ppl for putting this together and thinking about our city's children experiencing homelessness! One of the missions of the shelter is to ease the trauma of homelessness by helping to provide a *feeling* of home and things like holiday celebrations are a big part of it

#iteachphysics. Just got home from the Louisiana Space Grant annual meeting. The loss of OSTEM will hurt us so much. The incredible interdisciplinary research and experience presented at this tiny conference was absolutely incredible. We had 135 attendees and 56 student poster presentations.

I’m not normally one to do this, but my son just received the results for his Masters Degree & he’s earned a distinction 😃 His course supervisor has now invited him to join his research team & he’ll begin work on his PhD in March.

And he achieved this while having autism.

So, up yours RFK Jr 🖕🖕

bite back, a collection of poems by blayne waterloo. 

the cover is a gorgeous, dark nighttime scene at a graveyard. 

cover description by its artist, anni jyn:
a pale femme figure with long dark hair stands wearing a dirty pale dress and a dark corset as they hold out their bloody hand towards a werewolf creature crouching on the ground (they also have blood on their mouth, throat and chest). the werewolf has a bloody face and bloody paws, they’re crouching next to gravestones that have a little blood on the very top of them. the setting is a swampy misty grave yard with a dark overhanging canopy, the moonlight and stars hang in the thick green canopy

you should get this, it’s exquisite. just falling in love with the words and the messages with each turn of the page.

thank you for writing these poems and sharing them with all of us, @ewhag.com. obsessed with the cover by @annijyn.com. 🩶
