Poem text of "Daffodil" on a flora photograph of a daffodil on a black background. Daffodil I often daydreamed as a child if I had drifted away, just wandered off in a daze, lost and lonely, could I come back changed, just as Narcissus, a beautiful Daffodil, or a floating and majestic cloud?

Taking inspiration from William Wordsworth and mythology, I wrote a golden shovel poem called "Daffodil." And I named the photo of the daffodil "Lonely As a Cloud."

We have friends everywhere.

Is there a source for this? Would be great if legit.

After taking a day to reflect, as New Yorker by birth who has always been priced out, and as someone who has been thinking deeply about the practice of Black Studies as it intersects with History, this is where I’m at about Mamdani’s victory:

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that?

Image of Edgar Allan Poe with a dark gray and red gradation and text of poem called "Edgar" by T. Bartlett His ink runs dark on the page and scroll, his words lay heavy on the mind and soul, his stories bear the burden of his tortured heart, his poems echo the beat of his tell-tale art. How alive he remains after all this time, while The Raven carries his mournful rhyme.

On this day in 1849, and at the age of 40, Edgar Allan Poe died. He was a formative inspiration to me as a writer, so I wrote the following ode as a way to honor his work.

Thanks so much! 😊

Love these beauties!

Ohio sits there highlighted, where Vance was somehow able to "win" his senatorial seat in 2022 and where he is now trying to get his brother elected as mayor of Cincinnati. He can plead ignorance all he wants, but he knows. He's a privileged beneficiary of a rigged system.
