Not only did I not use AI to write this academic article, I wrote it while caring for a baby-turned-toddler and working a full-time, non-academic job. In between drafts of my non-AI-generated novel project. It took years of research and analysis. I’m delighted to have spent my time this way.

I JUST WANT ALL THE KIDS IN THE WORLD TO HAVE SAFETY AND LOVE AND NOT WAR OR FASCISM.
WHY ARE FINITE RESOURCES BEING HOARDED BY A TINY NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO TELL US TO BLAME OUR NEIGHBORS INSTEAD OF BUILDING A BETTER SYSTEM.
WHY IS IT SO DAMN EXPENSIVE TO GET BASIC NECESSITIES.
AND WHY DO ALL PANTS SUCK.

My little contribution to the Attached to the Living World anthology, for #smallpoemsunday
A question about procreation as the rivers dry

have you ever gutted a cantaloupe of its seeds?

or tossed a plump pit, thinking, maybe

I should plant this, maybe I should 

make something grow

but in what garden

and what world

what little bit of earth do you have

on a fire escape

in a country

to make something begin

Morning, everyone. May your ears be soft and slack. May you noseplant in a blanket made by someone who loves you.

I am very pregnant. It is raining. Today is my first day of maternity leave. I’m spending it with the delicious sentences of @sarahroseetter.bsky.social. My tiny dog sleeps at my feet, under many blankies.
