A Love Poem

I wanted to write you a love poem
but I woke up and the ground 
was still covered in ice, the sky 
still a sullen gray
Not again, I thought 
I can’t bear another day of this 
but then there you were
pouring the coffee
scrambling the eggs 
looking so much like 
the promise of spring

by Claire Taylor

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

This Sunday at Snowfort: a staged reading of Patience Whitman’s new play (her fifth). A brother spirals into cyberbullying; his sister watches as her best friend becomes the target.

Google is increasing the cost of my Workspace acct by $2/month saying "The updated subscription pricing reflects the significant added AI value."

I truly hate their AI and have no idea how I would even use it. I can complete my own sentences

Anyone switching to Zoho?

I know I'm bad at the internet, but I also know I just got an enticing marketing email from Bit.ly that said β€œwe spent 485 hours testing links so you don’t have to” ... and the one link in the email doesn’t work. Feeling vindicated

From 2011 to 2015, Edward Mullany released a trilogy of books with @pubgen.bsky.social that we return to often. Tiny poems & microfictions both haunting & hilarious. He ended these 3 books with a trio of novellas (The Three Sunrises), a series of fever dream fables not to be missed.
