Here is acknowledgement of the instinct to avoid grief, to out run it But the poem insists on a harder truth, that grief is something you have to enter, not walk away from Grief is not a detour from love, it’s the shape love and life takes after loss ‘an obesity of grief’ #poetry #poemoftheday

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 21727899: You need to care about what you write. Don't justify hack writing by telling yourself: "But the readers will love it." They won't. Readers can forgive bad writing, but never cynical writing.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Dude, I’m so sick of the number of death stares I get. I have a child in kindergarten. Even with masks, there continues to be an uncomfortable amt of green snot in my home. I looked at one guy today and was about to ask how much he wanted to spend NYE hack coughing because that’s what I could offer.

The year is 2382. All physical and digital media was lost in a great cataclysm that humanity has gradually rebuilt itself from. The village gathers for festivities and drinks. A travelling musician plays a song passed down in folk tradition for centuries. It is called the YMCA. Everyone joins in

it's weird to live in a world where a new 'worst thing you've ever imagined' happens at least a few times a month and it's easy to let it all run together and just sort of wash over you and go totally numb to all of it so you don't freak out because you still have to do laundry and go to work.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Haven’t been able to breathe for two weeks now. Or talk, which has been really fun for an English teacher with the first novel of the year. We’ve been tested for all sorts of things. We wear masks. I just can’t with viruses anymore. The world is unsustainable.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

My kindergartener is having a milestone this week. It’s not losing her first tooth. It’s not counting to 100 for the first time. It’s her first security lockdown drill. If you aren’t pissed, you aren’t paying attention. The sickness and rot at the core of this is stunning.
