Samantha Hunt, one of my colleagues at Bennington College, said earlier this semester: “One of the most radical things I do is move slowly.” I think about it all the time. Slow, steady, determined. Be the artist who, like a persistent trickle of water, ends up carving a canyon.

Tufts University petitions a federal judge to release student Rümeysa Öztürk, who was grabbed off the street by immigration officials. The move is some of the strongest public pushback by a school against the Trump administration's arrests of foreign students.

John Keene & rolled chamomile this morning 😮‍💨💨
Photo of John Keene’s poem “The Angel of Indifference” from his poetry collection PUNKS: New & Selected Poems (The Song Cave, 2021)


“THE ANGEL OF INDIFFERENCE

Cool melody of encounter, like crickets massing in a meadow on a late summer night, or the nervous system before our circuits overload. Not fright, but the white silence, blurring swiftly, too staticky to bear: being invisible, again, always forgotten. This, the Angel of Indifference reminds me as he passes on the barely lit path. The park is empty except for us. Cruising. I reach out to snare him, slow his departure, but he has already turned to seduce me with gestures that telegraph their reproach. He sips languidly from a flask but does not share it. He takes a bite, then another, from a succulent black bar before tossing it into the brush. He lights what I think is a cigarette, its ember a mirror in the creeping darkness, and watches as the smoke crawls around my shoulders. There is nothing he will tell me that I have not already heard. There is nothing he will not teach me that I have not already learned. I shudder as he shares this minor grace, and for it I am forever grateful: that his face, though dark and blinding as an eclipse, is much as a map of forgivingness of mine, as the pillars of grass breaking under our own and, soon, those of innumerable souls. The Angel of Indifference remonstrates me, with each kiss, tipped with cold disinterest. In the end it’s the desire alone we’ll remember, not our backs mountaining or our thighs breaking their netting shadows on the glossy sod as dawn, paying us no mind, stirs itself awake.”

It is also important to me to share this artist statement I submitted to the NEA, since they didn’t have a chance to add the statements to the fellows pages yet. I hope all of us are finding ways to survive our “now.” I hope what haunts us can one day humor us.

The Elizabeth Catlett show at the Brooklyn Museum is a MUST SEE—this Black revolutionary woman artist was badass, aesthetically and politically. My favorite moment: when she remade a print honoring the founders of the Black Panthers after she discovered Eldridge Cleaver’s misogynist attitudes. Oop.
Small terra cotta-colored sculpture of a Black woman sitting with her legs slightly apart and her hands resting on her skirt Large woodcut print in two parts, showing a mother protecting a child and other vulnerable people; above them a huge hand stops a bunch of bayonets. A colored woodcut print of a Black woman sharecropper wearing a wide brimmed straw hat. Two prints to honor the founders of the Black Panthers made up of smaller images: raised fists, rifles, portraits of men and women. The print on the left shows all three BP founders, the one on the right is identical except Eldridge Cleaver is not included.

I refuse to believe this many millennials did not know Travis Porter was a group. Or, flat out denying any knowledge of Travis Porter. No revisionist history around here.

Both Texas and Georgia are destroying evidence of all maternal mortality, blocking proof that women are dying from abortion bans. This story has a lot more going on than you think. Especially since Republicans are lying about the public cases. www.salon.com/2024/12/02/d...

Republicans don't care if women die from abortion bans — but they don't want you to know about it
Women will keep dying, but the GOP is working hard to destroy the evidence

I recently learned that a major donor is reducing Torch's funding. This means a $65k deficit going into an uncertain year. I need my people to give what they can. $5, $10, $20 will go a long way. Every bit helps support Black women writers. 🔥🙌🏽💛 Donate: www.torchliteraryarts.org/support
