I want to be friends with your guinea pig. It has come to my attention that to find fellow poets, I need to put more about that in my profile. But I do want to be friends with your guinea pig. Pronouns: any and all as long as used with respect

Whalebucket is my new band name. 🐋
Movie theater promo poster set underwater, with sunbeams filtering down from the surface. Dark blue text at top reads "WHALEBUCKET Collectible Popcorn Container. Comes with a Large Popcorn." Below it, a gray plastic popcorn bucket shaped like a sperm whale swims through the water. A hinged hatch on its back is flipped open and overflowing with popcorn. A tiny scuba diver swims alongside it for scale. Large teal letters near the bottom read "WHALEFALL," with "In theaters October 16" beneath. Small print: Regal logo, "At select theatres. While supplies last," "© 2026 20th Century Studios," and a PG-13 rating.

Meet Backpack, your 2026 Fat Bear Week champion. Backpack is 20 years old, weighs about 1,000 pounds and got his nickname because, as a cub, he loved riding on his mom's back across the Brooks River.

Thanks to @bujoldy.bsky.social for the resource. Google Forms doesn't do ranked choice either, and this ballot was exactly the tool we needed. Also, books that are not chosen this month will stay on as options for the next reading if someone is willing to lead discussion.

If you think you might, you are welcome to vote, of course. Maybe if the book you want wins, you will be more motivated to participate! Maybe not, though. You will like the Murakami, I think.

Some folks wanted spooky stories for Halloween. There's Dracula, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Dorian Grey. Phantom of the Opera. I am not nominating these because I am not leading. Sharing ideas! 📖

Pillow Book was mine and I think had gotten 3 votes. I can't lead October, and also I have led more than any other book club participant has. I need to give other folks space to choose a book and lead. Withdrawing Pillow Book from consideration, respectfully.

Mimesis

BY FADY JOUDAH

My daughter
           wouldn't hurt a spider
That had nested
Between her bicycle handles
For two weeks
She waited
Until it left of its own accord

If you tear down the web I said It will simply know 
This isn't a place to call home And you'd get to go biking

She said that's how others Become refugees isn't it?
