β€œParadise isn’t the thing we look at and call paradise, the thing we spend our time curating and perfectingβ€”what’s visibleβ€”it’s the thing below that, the driving force behind the making of paradise that’s actually paradise.” β€” @careysalerno.bsky.social in @muthamagazine.bsky.social #poetry

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

ICYMI: a wonderful conversation between @jessejohnson.bsky.social & @tylermpoetry.bsky.social about their books, "Mettlework" and "Bomb Cloud" -- poet-memoirists, they spoke to the differences in genre, writing styles, and those brilliant moments of discovery. #poetry #memoir

I’m a scientist working on dark matter and neutron stars and I wouldn’t be who I am today without Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington, Haile Germima, Toni Morrison, Jane Austen, A.A. Milne, Errol Morris, Star Trek, Herman Melville, Lorna Simpson, Edward Lear, Tina Turner, and so many others.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
