I like poetry, science, easy vegan recipes, and the ridiculous. Poems in The Bear Review, The Boiler, radarpoetry.com, etc. My second book, “Trash Witch”, will be out in February. She/her

Is there a minimum holy-to-regular water ratio, or can you just drop a cup of holy water into Lake Superior and now the whole thing's holy water?

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I'd go a bit further than this and say that Americans should just shut the fuck up about the governance of any other country altogether.

Painted in 1914, 'The Sheaves,' is filled with the stillness and mystery that make Felix Vallotton's paintings so absorbing; a symbolic picture, his landscapes rarely include people but in this work, a presence is suggested by the (perhaps abandoned) tools and basket.
