A chicken looks into the void, surrounded by viral particles. The virus is superimposed on the bird. It's both... threatening, but also, kinda looks like the chicken did LSD and is having the craziest night ever at the flu rave.

Pay attention to the newly accelerated war on porn.

If you are not already, pay attention to

increasing attacks on porn even if porn is

something you do not care for. The attacks,

architected and carried out by zealots, are

intended to broaden the classification of "porn"

to include all sorts of speech determined

"subversive" by zealots.

This is what has drawn me to this community and

fight. I'm not a porn super fan. "Obscenity" is

long where this battle has been fought and sex

workers are on the front lines of that fight.

*Their* free speech battle is one you benefit from, fellow artists.

Don't get me wrong!
I don't mean to distance myself from love and appreciation for smut, subversive art, literature, trash and more.
I am a true fan of all of the above (in no small part because I also know and appreciate its role in the history of this struggle).
But one should not feel they have to be a fan to appreciate what this fight means for the freedom of speech (especially speech including queer and feminist perspectives, which have often been grouped together as "subversive" and "dangerous" texts in the name of state censorship).

Natalie Shapero (from The Adroit Journal)

My Hair Is My Thing
by Natalie Shapero

The symphony’s out of money again, and no
wonder: all those violins, the twisted strands
and sponges—who could not think
of torture? Last week I read a novel about a man
so awful that when he died I wept
because it was fiction. I wanted it to be real
so that he could really die. I wanted
you to die also, and to be feted with a lengthy,
organza-filled funeral, so that I could make
a big show of blowing it off. I decided to go out
and get a tattoo of your funeral with me not there,
but apparently it’s illegal here to tattoo
a person who’s crying. The trend now
is to be interred with beloved possessions:
pearl-trimmed gun, gold watch,
whatever you’ve got. Some people recoil
at the waste of it, but not me. These contused
little objects of wealth—they’re disgusting. I just
pray we have earth and shovels enough. I pray
we have bodies enough to bury them all.

And the kink in the line and the kink in general is attention. Han VanderHart (Poetry Northwest)

HANNAH VANDERHART

My Love Snakes the Shower Drain to Keep My Feet from Standing Water

And the kink in the line and the kink
in general is attention.

There is nothing in the plumber's kit
which is not a vector for love.

Vector: the flea from the rat
to the human, I explain to the child.

Who has time to explain a plague,
the black death, London?

Love is the flea, in a certain light.
