Cowboys past and present are: Black, Indigenous, Latino, immigrant, queer, trans, radical, female (and the ones in rodeos rely on rodeo clowns to keep them safe). And that pro-democracy pro-Constitution patriots despise this dimwitted pile of hatreds. I've met cowboys and you, sir, are no cowboy.

Stepping out on a limb here… are there any Maile Chapman fans that would want to start a loose-knit group for the discussion of her new book The Spoil? There is SO MUCH to unpack (if you’ve read the book, the pun is very much intended)! #booksky #mailechapman #spoil #thespoil Pls quote/reskeet!

Hey @DoorDash - one of your delivery drivers, Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez, is languishing in detention with a bullet STILL IN HIS BACK after ICE shot him. End your silence. Speak out against ICE violence and demand Pérez’s release.

URGENT UPDATE:
8 days after ICE shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in the back while he was making a DoorDash delivery, the bullet remains in his body. Wilber is in agonizing pain inside a TX concentration camp, and the silence from DoorDash is deafening.

at this point, though, if someone contends they've never even heard of "Balls" or Peter Brötzmann, Fred Van Hove, and Han Bennink, it may say more about the listener than the song. Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world. youtu.be/9sVtxMqjemA

I was only ever an undergrad in the English department at SUNY Buffalo, but the faculty ( @l-a-n-g-u-a-g-e.bsky.social and Susan Howe) and grad students who were part of the Poetics Program set me on a path of wonder & curiosity that I’m still on 35 years later.

Dolly Partons IMAGINATION LIBRARY

Dear Imagination Library Graduate,

My, how time flies. It seems it was only yesterday when your family and friends read you your first story. You were just a baby. Now you're five years old and about to go to school. How exciting!
This may be your last book from my Imagination Library but you have to promise me you will keep on reading. If you go to your local public library you will find a great number of books just for kids your age. Every book is a treasure and every time you open one up you will meet new friends and take wonderful journeys to magical places.
I hope you have a great time in school. I bet your school will even have a library where you can check out books. You and all of your friends are very special. There is no limit to what you can do or how far you can go.

Just remember the lessons my family taught me - dream big dreams; learn everything you can learn; and care for all those who care for you. You do all of these things and you can be anyone you want to be.

You are terrific, and remember...
I Will Always Love You,
Dolly
