In response to headline “Cruz-Led Investigation Uncovers $2 Billion in Woke DEI Grants at NSF, Releases Full Database” I want to re-emphasize that all these grants were public record and written in response to public solicitations supporting DEI content. No “uncovering” or “releasing” was done here

I haven't read this book but I'm not at all surprised; the work of Kiki's I have read (ex: sundressblog.com?s=%22black+g...) is absolutely brilliant.

Hey #poets and #authors - what work can you recommend that engages with the nonsensical in a reverent way without trying to make sense of it? And/or, how do you engage with nonsense (/whimsy/illogic/play/etc.) in your work and process?

Devastated to hear of Louise Glück’s passing.

The Wild Iris
At the end of my suffering there was a door.
Hear me out: that which you call death I remember.

Overhead, noises, branches of the pine shifting. Then nothing. The weak sun
flickered over the dry surface.
It is terrible to survive as consciousness
buried in the dark earth.
Then it was over: that which you fear, being a soul and unable
to speak, ending abruptly, the stiff earth bending a little. And what I took to be birds darting in low shrubs.
You who do not remember
passage from the other world
I tell you I could speak again: whatever returns from oblivion returns
to find a voice:
from the center of my life came a great fountain, deep blue shadows on azure seawater.
Louise Glück

US COVID SHOTS ARE FREE. Please do not let Walgreens and CVS mislead you or your family members or neighbors about this! They are the biggest part of the federal bridge (free shots for uninsured people) program, but the rollout’s logistics have been a little scattered and you may get pushback.

Deep love to my bsky fam! Good to be with you. First post, & already I'm tired, weary, soulsore, but in love with the ability to feel, even if what's felt is pain & lots of it. Thankfully, my donkey spirit's here, stubbornly faithful, always ready to pick up the slack. waxwingmag.org/items/issue2...

I return to this poem over and over -- its great swooping turns, its brutally gentle honesty, its spare dramatic style. "But I wanted to explain this life to you, even if I had to become, over the years, someone else to do it."
