I don't really know why I'm even trying to publish poetry at all right now. People can say "poetry will change the world" but we've been writing steady for thousands of years and this is some terrible shit we're in. So--???

Bluesky seems to involve a ton of folks reposting clearly fraudulent fundraisers?

Does anyone have a LEGIT reason to believe the 2/5 protests are a trap created to impose martial law? Because to me it seems like fear and paranoia. There are risks in this and all action, of course. But what's the alternative? Docility? Shitposting? What's a BETTER FUCKING PLAN?

I’m getting word from academics to back up and download anything you might have on a work server or work computer. Especially anyone who is NHS, NEA, NIH funded and doing work in any DEI field - queer, BLM - any federal grant funding Federally funded equipment can be seized.

Folks, I am not the Jessica Walsh who designs things (?). I'm a poet & professor, which means I'm weird & have big feelings. Feel free to keep following me! Things are crazy these days and building community is wonderful. But if you're looking for the designer JW, I ain't it. I'm the generic one. xo

Dean told us yesterday that, in the event of an immigration raid at the college, we should know that ICE can't enter classrooms. Also, FERPA applies to ICE agents, too, so don't answer their questions about students. When I tell you what I thought my job would be 22 years ago...lord have mercy.

C.D. Wright, "Poem in Which Her Mortgage Comes Due" #BlueskyPoetryClub

Screenshot of the C.D. Wright poem "Poem in Which Her Mortgage Comes Due" from her collection SHALLCROSS:

Poem in Which Her Mortgage Comes Due

the folds of a dark brown dress
the knuckles of a hand spent in dishwater
the jars of rhubarb
the folios of poetry
the suitcase filled with worthless notes
the fiery fields
the fields on fire

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25. That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

Retired people are free to complain that their retirement lives are not what they dreamed of, but they should probably remember that most younger people won't be able to retire at all. I'm going to be 50. They'll find me dead at my desk.

FWIW there’s a difference between doomer-ism and despair. They’re used as synonyms but they’re not (even if the former can easily move into the latter). It’s of course good & right to note that things are bad. It’s bad & dumb to say that bad things are inevitable & can’t be changed.

These are dark days. It’s a good time to delight in and learn from the manul, a floofy, grumpy-faced wild cat that keeps its paws warm in snow by resting them on its tail. 🌿 The manul wants you to practice self-care in hard times, too. Look at that face. Don’t disappoint him.

A very round, fluffy, loaf-shaped wild cat with gray-brown fur, rounded ears, and an intense gaze stares into the camera. Its expression appears grumpy due to a brow that seems furrowed and a downturned mouth. It sits on a mossy rock.
