I have unfinished and completed manuscripts sitting around doing nothing, and they'll stay there. I'm still writing. I'm doing NaPoWriMo...but I'm tired of making books that do not get read. #poetry #poems #publishing #books

Maybe when I'm dead, someone will find one of my books in a used bookstore and be like, "This doesn't suck."

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters. If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I'm done here. I don't want to be here in the morning. I don't want to see what horrible thing comes next. I'm over it all. How do we just go on every day and pretend like all of this dictator shit is fine? Do we just acquiesce? Fuck it all. I hate everything.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

What’s up with all these writing residencies for rich folks? If I had $3,000 to spend on a few days of writing, I’d buy a plane ticket or drive somewhere cool and write in a hotel or a little cabin or whatever.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

If you’re okay with a woman being snatched off the street for free speech and peaceful protest and detained with no due process …you have fully lost the plot on what AMERICA is supposed to be.

The search for 20 year-old Sudiksha Konanki, a University of Pittsburg student on spring break, continues in the Dominican Republic. She was last seen on video surveillance on March 6 at 4:50 a.m. on the beach at the Riu Republica Resort in Punta Cana.

A President who detains a protestor and revokes their legal status can only be called one thing: A dictator. Silencing dissent is unlawful, unjust, and authoritarian through and through.

Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect Him to be strong. Trump would have fled where Zelensky stayed and fought. Trump is the worst negotiator

It's even worse if you're a poet, especially one that almost exclusively publishes in chapbooks. I have four full length collections, as well, that will never see the bookshelf of a book store. This is the life of an indie poet.

Of course it is true that MAGA cult doesn’t care that their news sources are lying to them about No Tax on Tips passing. Because truth is largely irrelevant when there are libs to be owned and an Orange God who needs worshipping.

As a survivor of more than one cancer, can confirm the first line of action is almost always surgical removal. There’s no negotiating this, it must be ripped out by force before it fatally spreads. So it is with authoritarian fascist governments. You can’t hope to vote them out.
