I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

I love working with charcoal. Charcoal Pine is one of my personal favorites, and many people own a print of it around the world. I love hearing from people who say something like, "I rented a cottage in the mountains and this was hanging on the wall!"

I understand that everything is really fucked up, but I implore you to stop telling people not to make jokes about it. We are hanging on by a thread and some of us have no other means of coping.

always sirens screaming
through seasons of orange
and red silences
seances
of weddings in sunlight
ghostly in white dresses stained with shadow singing the assonance of hospital stays and divorce attorneys in sable suits licenses
to love and to leave
fading sirens
screaming
in sacrificial silence

here we are anonymous
shifting personas slipping past what is there to hold on to when we have lost
our true form what remains
is the heart of it you me the gap in between shrunk to a keyboard space you knew me once before but now

{ poem } link pinkies #poem #poetry
under a sunlit fingernail
we set our intentions
for another rotation:
• consume less
• listen more closely to the dog breathing
• move more
• notice the orange flowers along the creek
• break open like a baby blue robin's egg
• read slowly
• link pinkies in the summer heat
•
your scent lingers
in the crease of my elbow
tucked away like a secret love letter sung on the
waxing edge of summer
a ribbon of daylight remains
oh how I wish you were here

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

the day they shot the poet

they deported
the last disposition of a poet
that would have told tomorrow
of today of how it died
in all the brutality of suddenly

they have shot tomorrow today
and hearts unrelated to this
cry 
for the poet as a person
who wrote and wrote
but will never do so again

we say never again
again and again they shoot never again
so that they may think they own today
but death has folded the list 
of their wrong doings 
it is lodged in too many hearts to be extirpated
for who will deliver their mail 
or deliver their take-aways

and of course the poem 
full of their just desserts

Autumn Leaves, Franklin Booth, 1911.
An illustration, Autumn Leaves, by Franklin Booth and published as a cover for Collier's magazine in 1911. There are three female figures caught in an autumnal wind, appearing to be women dancing as swirling leaves, perhaps fairies. They are dressed in flowing, warm-toned dresses of orange-brown. The figures are positioned in the upper portion of the image sitting on / against bare, gnarled tree branches. Below them, several individual leaves are shown falling where small trees and birds are visible against a hazy sky.

Another temporary “Gaza Peace Deal” has been achieved. Hamas and Israel have agreed to cease fighting. In theory Israel should also cease bombing civilians. After more than 60,000 people were killed by Israel, Gaza will be allowed to attempt to rebuild again.

when 2 ICE agents come to abduct our neighbors, Chicagoans can band together and force them to flee. This is deeply embarrassing for ICE/CBP and Greg Bovino and shows how much Trump's war on Chicago relies on their numbers and the willingness of people to look the other way.
