Happy #CelebrateBisexualityDay aka The Great Uncloaking, aka Freddie Mercury Day to all who observe! Once upon a time in what now seems like an alternate reality, I went to DC w/ a group of activists from across the US to advocate for our rights. The landscape has changed, but the fight continues!

This is how you do it. Thank you, @tupelopress.bsky.social!!!

The NEA has released their updated literature grant guidelines. They are appalling.
Tupelo Press will not be altering our 25-year mission to promote contemporary poetry and literary prose by emerging and established writers of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, including, especially, women and writers of color, as well as the LGBTQ+, immigrant, and Native American communities. We aim to develop wider audiences for, and deeper understanding of, innovative, multi-cultural writing by essential participants in this conversation. At the same time, we undertake to enhance the reading experience itself by publishing and distributing gorgeously designed and produced books.
If adherence to our principles means that we will be ineligible for NEA grants going forward, so be it.
Compliance with the new regulations would be immoral.

A sweet tuxedo kitty sits behind a plate of leftover pate on the floor and is staring into the distance. He can’t even look at me. There’s a yellow stuffed bird toy with a Santa hat that’s been placed on top of the plate. This sweet boy says he is innocent and does not know who did this.

Ginger Guide To Getting the Chair in Four Easy Steps

A big ginger cat sits astride a tortie cat like she’s a pony. They are in a barstool style chair covered with a white towel. This is the first step to acquiring the chair for oneself.

Overhead POV of a Ginger cat astride a tortie, but now he has gone full-press and is kind of laying on top of her. Only her butt and head are visible. Step two. Getting closer to chair acquisition.

Near success. In step three the tortie has squirmed out from under the 17-pound ginger cat and they sit side by side on the barstool.

Step 4: Victory. A ginger cat looks a little smug sitting by himself on a barstool covered with a white towel. The tortie (not pictured) said, Fuck this, and left.

Now a short thread for ART LOVERS. You're going to see a lot (and I mean a -lot-) of art over the next 25 days. In short, #artAdventCalendar is an online event where visual artists post their work daily until the 24th. As someone posted a few years ago.

a quote: Art is a light for me. The darkening days are hard on my mind & body. The seemingly darkening political times even more so. Seeing these works so generously shared helps so much to illuminate and warm those things that are still good. Art is hope.
