This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it. Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Two excellent poems from Dominic Fisher today. Happy #NationalPoetryDay @poetrydayuk.bsky.social @domfishpoet.bsky.social‬

Dominic Fisher – two poems
Glass wing Smooth between finger and thumb in the earthbut still jagged, a piece of bottle glassrefracts as you lift it and find it holdsa bubble like the absence of a seed. I don’t know what I’m doing, what it meansto be coming back here day after day. On a stalk, dessicated-looking, dead, a moth passes for a scrap of dry leaf.
