🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.

Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

join me for poetry at sea 💜🧜🏼‍♀️✨ and also yoga ofc

i bring up its environmental impact then use that to start the convo about how it’s unfair that AI gets to do art… (and then get into how its art is trash and bad for the human spirit)

How Toni Morrison Changed Publishing At night, she worked on her novels. By day, as an editor at Random House, she championed a new generation of writers.

Toni Morrison is one of the greatest writers to ever live. What many don’t know, is that she was also the first Black woman to become a senior editor at Random House. I wrote about a new book that discusses how she edited by day, wrote by night, and ushered in a new generation of Black writers.

TONIGHT, philly babes 😘

Heaven, Elphrasis sterling elizabeth arcadia cover: a white drawing of an eagle carries a red pound of flesh in its talons on a background of black the cover sits in a white circle surrounded by the title repeated over and over in all caps black on white

Heaven, Ekphrasis is an indictment, a reckoning, an exhale in preparation to pounce. arcadia cuts through the abstract of distance to place trans bodies directly at the intersection of pop and culture and exposes the currency we hold but are never allowed.
@selizabeth.bsky.social

happiest birthday, dear poet! ♥️✨
