Naps. Walks outside. Recharge as much as you need to. Pick one or two must-see panels and pace yourself at the bookfair. Make your main goal not to network but just to appreciate fellow writers. Much more fun and less exhausting. Hope you have a wonderful time!

“A mirror behind / the retina gives fugitive light // a second chance to be seen.” We need lots of those chances right now. Lovely work, Isaac. I felt something and learned something.

For #FossilFriday & in honor of @alinemghilardi.bsky.social & colleagues' fantastic discovery of a new Cretaceous pterosaur in Brazil in a dinosaur regurgitalite ("fossil vomit"), here's a diagram I made for my book 'Dinosaurs Without Bones' (2014) showing the physics of a puking brachiosaur. 🧪🦕🤮🪨
Cartoon depicting the black silhouette of a brachiosaur (long-necked dinosaur) vomiting from 14 meters (45 feet) above, and two small theropod dinosaurs fleeing from its impact; the deadly result of the impact velocity is shown in the upper right as a partial theropod skeleton with a splatter pattern around it. The cartoon has the following text: Brachiosaurus projectile vomiting: forces generated and resulting traces
"Assuming 50 kg (110 lbs) of regurgitant, impact velocity from 14 m (45 ft) height, and hard-packed sand as impact site," and "Impact velocity = V = V 2gh = 16.6 m/s; kinetic energy before impact = 6,860 J
Average impact force = 68,600 N." An original figure by me (Anthony J. Martin) in my book 'Dinosaurs Without Bones' (2014, Pegasus Books).

Great event. Minimally mid / meh. 😆 So interesting to hear several perspectives on poetry criticism. I feel charged up to articulate more robust responses to the books I’m reading. Thank you to panelists and moderators for making this available.

It’s the first day in weeeeeeks that I haven’t needed to extrovert, perform, or do external biddings. Reading this gorgeous chap (my little book of domestic anxieties by Elizabeth Sylvia | ballerini book press) in the breeze. Whispering expletives in admiration and recognition.
Book cover: my little book of domestic anxieties by Elizabeth Sylvia. Green with an aerial view of a perfectly centered teacup on a saucer, the tea red-hued like a brewing emergency. Backdrop: yard, fence, crepe myrtle about to pop.Pic of the beginning of a poem called Yearning: “What a word, work and pay / & desire boxed and ringing / in the gut. I won’t say // I awoke, but one morning the little house / below my lungs // began to shout. Text from a book of poetry: “…the both of us, by placid growing things / whose troubles wait for patient ministry. / Or else die quietly. I sometimes think / that quiet's all I want—this life is messy / and so loud, without reprieve. Can't I be / a seed inside my brittle coat, asleep?”

but who is going to write the poem
screenshot of an online article titled “drunk man sends injured baby bird to wildlife rescue center in Uber.” The caption reads: “A man who had a few too many alcoholic beverages ordered an Uber for a baby goldfinch that he found struggling on the ground. The baby bird was the sole passenger to a wild life rehab. There are two pictures of the bird: one of the bird resting in someone’s hand, and another of it chirping from a pile of towels.

A favorite protest sculpture / sign at #NoKings Fresno. Zoom in to the fly attached by a wire. 😂 The event felt peaceful, kind, joyous, moving. Something is definitely shifting in favor of constitutional rights.

I may not take this one out today (I have more / too identifying) but it felt cathartic to make it. Fist bump to all the other Geminis who deserve a better birthday twin. #NoKings

I made this list of Nonviolent Political Actions for Writers for a course I taught during TFG 1.0 on Writers & Resistance. Please share. You do not need to be a writer to participate. "You are here on this earth at this time. Don't act like you're not a part of what's going on."
Nonviolent Political Actions for Writers

1) Writing-speeches, letters, statements, flyers, leaflets, group letters, petitions...plus your poems, stories, plays, and commitment to making art as a person who desires a better world.

2) Banners bumperstickers, t-shirts, protest signs, sky-writing, sidewalk chalk, broadcasts, social media posts, articles, editorials, displays of language in public places.

3) Symbolic Acts-pickets, marches, prayer circles, vigils, mock awards, delivering symbolic objects (pies, dildos, dead flowers, glasses of water delivered by citizens of Flint, MI, to their local politicians, etc), displays of flags or other symbolic objects (in the Polish Solidarity movement, members wore electronic "resistors" from radios), public performances, satire, costumes (pussy hats at the Women's March; nuns' habits worn by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, etc.), disrobings, die-ins, mock funerals, effigies, puppets.

4) Public disapproval-whistles, bullhorns, assemblies, sit-ins, stand-ins, ride-ins, solidarity with those being attacked (Angel Action against the Westboro Baptist Church, US Veterans acting as "Human Shields" to protect the Standing Rock protesters), walk-outs, silence, withholding approval, turning one's back, boycott, sanctuary, total personal non-cooperation, conscientious objector status.

5) Witness-At any level of action, remember that action speaks louder with words. You not only have to be willing to participate, you must be willing to testify. You are here on this earth at this time. Don't act like you're not a part of what's going on.
