Why now is the time to be loudly anti-war We don't need the clarity of hindsight to know war in Iran—or anywhere—will end in physical, moral and financial ruin.

New — My case for why it’s not enough to call this “Trump’s war” when violence abroad implicates us all, and how we don’t need hindsight to know that unequivocally opposing this war will be the correct (and only morally defensible) choice:

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

Cannot believe I missed you both 😭

Also want to say that FOMO for AWP is also FOMO while at AWP because there are literally 45 events every hour and you can't go to all of them, and there's a ton of people I missed.

There is such a market out there for things that give people hope and not want to completely die inside! Live más!

Idk what it is but I’m submitting

This is the perfect way to describe it. And I never have good dreams, only nightmares, so wow what a respite it was.

It’s fucking great Aaron 🤍 sorry you’re stuck and I’m sorry I didn’t track you down at AWP! someday!

THANK. YOU.

If you are waiting on emails from me re: @identitytheory.bsky.social micro stuff, you’ll be hearing from me tomorrow! I’m catching up on subs and reaching out to contributors! thanks for your patience 💫

AWP Day 2!

Really????

What's next, the Department of Death?

Feel like I should just mention that I have extreme RBF at all times so if you see me at #awp and think damn who pissed in her cheerios, fear not! As I’ve been telling my mom for years: ”this is just my face”. You can say hi, I won’t bite (unless you deserve it)

US troops who died in Iran war remembered as devoted parents and soldiers Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was just days away from returning home to her husband and two children when a drone strike in Kuwait killed her and five others.

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane

Dont you dare if you do I definitely will. Stay strong. We can introvert so hard after

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

Yeah, Tillis voted for Noem and these other shitbirds and he owns part of this mess. But for people who still have a shred of a conscience, that's going to make them more invested in righting what's gone wrong. We should all encourage that.

one thing you could definitely talk me into doing at #awp is getting a spontaneous tattoo

So the State Department is forcing everyone to immediately leave the region but is also refusing to help people leave the region.

The strike itself is illegal and disastrous but their lack of readiness for what comes next is unforgivable as well.

Incompetence everywhere.

Classic Atlantic to do a piece about how someone is reg'lar guy using a word most people had to look up (maul).

all of this will be much harder to fight, endure, outlast if we are all weak and frail. we need energy and strength. Eat!

Opinion | The Coming Iranian Revolution

"...it is important to realize that the 1979 Iranian revolution was no revolution at all. It was a cunning bait-and-switch."

If you don't know your Iranian history, feels like a good moment to learn. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/o...

Is that your submission?

My New Doctor Asks Me If I’ve Ever Used Tobacco Products I lie because I don’t want my insurance rates to go up, because he has my family history right in front of him where it says both my parents died of lung cancer. Even if he’s too polite to say it, …

Thrilled to have a new CNF in @whaleroadreview.bsky.social , a magazine I’ve long admired. Grateful to the awesome @katiemanningpoet.bsky.social for letting me dip my toes in the illustrious waters of this new issue. 🐳 🗺️ 📓

I have service member friends being deployed, urging us to call our reps and beg for impeachment proceedings. Hits extra hard coming from them.

I hope I run into you!!
