After Edna St. Vincent Millay When I saw you again, distant, sparrow-boned under the elegant clothes you wear in your life without me, I thought, No, No, let her be the one this time to look up at an oblivious me. Let her find the edge of the cliff with her foot, blindfolded. Let her be the one struck by the lightning of the other so that the heart is jolted from the ribs and the rest of the body is nothing but ash. It's a sad, familiar story I wish you were telling me with this shabby excuse: I never loved you anymore than I hated myself for loving you. And about that other guy by your side you left me for. I hope he dies.

Had to quick google if Bruce Smith was still alive (he is)

Anyway here is my favorite Bruce Smith poem for a Sunday morning

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

Thank you for contacting the void. How may we direct your scream?

You see, the reason why he did that is because he is a vile racist. It's okay to say that, @nytimes.com

YES!!!

The Capitol Switchboard is 202-224-3121. Call your Senators *today* to tell them not to vote for the SAVE Act!

Sign saying “Place unwanted books here.”

No such thing!!

Somebody already did this for 2025 (& I would give credit if I could find the post). But in fact January deserves its own censure from Lady Catherine de Bourgh:

I take no leave of you, January. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased.

Gregory Bovino Gets Demoted The Border Patrol chief was the public face of a traveling immigration crackdown on cities governed by Democrats.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I really wish we could have like a Girl Résumé where you list all the social events you’ve planned and all the organizational work you did on that message board in high school

Hugo Lowell told MSNOW that the Trump administration expects that the murder of Alex Pretti will "blow over and go away." They believe that Americans will forget about it in a week or so.

had arrived in my thirties believing that to need things from others made you weak. I think this is true for lots of people but I think it is especially true for women. When men desire things they are “passionate.” When they feel they have not received something they need they are “deprived,” or even “emasculated,” and given permission for all sorts of behavior. But when a woman needs she is needy. She is meant to contain within her own self everything necessary to be happy.

I think about these lines from CJ Hauser’s “The Crane Wife” all the time:

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
