PORTLAND! I’m performing poems tomorrow night (7/18) for the first time in a long time and would love to see you there! Please share this with anyone you know who’ll be in town. 💛 Free, masks required + provided Bishop & Wilde bookstore (1st floor of Tin House) 7pm-8:30pm

Flyer. Ariana Brown reading in the city of roses, a poetry show in Portland, Oregon. Friday July 18th, 2025. 7pm-8:30pm at Bishop and Wilde. 2601 NW Thurman. Event is free. Masks are required and provided.

Flyer. A rare live poetry show with Ariana Brown. For more than a decade, Ariana Brown toured across the country performing at over 200 colleges. The COVID-19 pandemic drastically curtailed her shows, especially as she is immunocompromised. Thus, this event is an incredibly rare opportunity to watch Ariana perform in person, and is only possible with every attendee masking during the show.

It’s worth reminding ourselves that a lot of the AI hype about how “everyone is using it now” is just manufacturing consent. A lot of people aren’t using AI. A lot of people started using it because they feel cultural pressure, but they would happily walk away from it.

Everything is not resistance. Joy & rest are important but they are not resistance. If take our cue from Black Studies (as we should), we can see that resistance is always collective & contains a political goal that challenges the subordination of marginalized people in a way that threatens power.
