Call Encyclopedia Brown because I do not know.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

They haven't fully been themselves tonight, but don't never ever count out America's sweethearts the Detroit Pistons.

Are you sad you're missing AWP? Join our open mic Thursday @ 8:00 pm Eastern!

Wish you could hit the book fair? The hotel bar? Just pile up your 79 unread books you already own by your computer, grab a drink, and get NAWPy!

Just kidding. It's my busy month at work. But maybe next month...

It's been a long time since I asked Burch or Crow to let me do a HAD call...🤔

I have definitely had the "in the airport waiting at the gate with an hour to kill" mass rejections before. One year I got something like 6 on AWP Sunday! Just a grizzly scene.

In case you aren't familiar with NAWP, the whole thing started because we're busy teachers/parents, so things come up for us all the time. This is, or better or worse, 100% normal NAWP. Thanks for your flexibility, and we'll see you an hour later than originally planned on Thursday! NAWP!

Anyway, buy my book if you like poetry? Actually, my book might be at AWP without me... Well, if it's not, it's always here:

And now, something like 3 hours later, I realize I could've just made this w/a text box over my book cover and had the border go all the way around instead of just the sides and hey guess we know why I don't work in design.

That is 100% the kind of poor man's cocktail trick I would pull, too.

Oh geez, it didn't look that big and in-your-face when I whipped the joke together in 90 seconds on PowerPoint. Sorry.

Hey, finally got around to making one of those "Where I'll be at #AWP26" flyers. Maybe I'll see ya by the washer & dryer! 🤞

Got my first recently, and it was for Lisbon, Portugal. Felt very jet-set swanky.

Huge top-of-page headline on New York Times right now saying "Markets fall and oil surges after U.S. warns of lengthy war".

Sweet Jeebus, New York Times, at least the Detroit News had enough class to make it a small side headline.

I'm sure the schoolchildren's last thoughts were concerns for The Market.

Oh no, not the markets.

Which one of you "devout Christians" is going to explain this to Jesus?

[comes home to a houseful of burning rubble after for some reason leaving my two-year-old alone with all my fragile, antique furniture, all my buckets of gasoline, and my collection of Bic lighters]

When the grift goes so far that your one tiny spark of conscience left barely flickering in the corner of your mind & soul's campfire sparks up a bit and glows redder.

This is such a nice touch and great idea. The entire poetry world collapses without an astronomical number of volunteer hours.

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.
