Why Bebo peeled gently now
I wish I understood
What love was, then"

Beautiful❤️

This is beautiful. That ending, especially.

‘Another sleepless night’ in Gaza City as Israel intensifies assault, and Doha summit condemns Israel for Qatar strike

As a fellow '90s teen, this piece gave such lovely and sad chills. @pleomorphic2.bsky.social captured how this album felt so perfectly.

So cool. Thank you for the nomination @epistemiclit.bsky.social 🫶🏽❤️

Thank you for the nomination❤️ Grateful for y'all❤️

I have a new(ish) poem out now on @epistemiclit.bsky.social 's latest issue, "Nostalgia". It's about ADHD-sidequesting on old friendships and love.

Hope you have a read of everyone's fantastic pieces!

Happy to do it🫂

What I like about poets is most of y'all like astrology.

I do have to get my shit together, though because right now, I have a paper due in 9 hours, fulltime work starting in 7, and the excitability (+ my ADHD) is getting in the way😆

Did I mention how happy I am to have found my writing mojo again?

I'm writing poems and doing submissions again after a long, dry creative spell (mostly the meds' doing). It makes me incredibly happy, excited, and reinvigorated.

I am so sorry they are having a difficult time. I wish them well.

A repost can go a long way.

Even toward complete strangers. The utter degradation of compassion and interconnectedness is saddening. 2/2

One of the worst things social media has done to humans is make us excessively reactive. Without pausing, without taking time to rethink words (ours or another's), without considering going into a "green zone" first before acting, often we jump into assumptions and harsh judgments. 1/2

I read the interview first, then the piece but any order is soul searing.

Orange and yellow flames are emerging from a disembodied mouth. The following words are written in the flames: White supremacists are not very fine people; Denying trans rights does not “protect women”; Trying to violently overturn an election is not patriotic; Words matter; Truth matters; The opposite of diversity equity and inclusion is white supremacy and exclusion; Hatred and lies don’t make a country great; They hate “woke” because they want you asleep; Wake up!

Issue 5: #Resistance is OUT NOW.

It’s a stunning issue, maybe our best yet.

Read, share, #Resist!
