My favorite movie at age 20 was Joe Versus the Volcano. And just yesterday I discovered the guy who played the limo driver was an avant-garde director in the 70s married to an activist poet. Hidden secrets of old movies. That movie was of the better meditations on death and courage.

So thankful that the heat wave and smoke have settled down here. Can't wait to get back outside for daily strolls. Here's a Rufous hummingbird at a pink salvia for your #bloomscrolling.

I mean, I can't say I'm not a little excited the American football team is going to the next round! GOAAAAAAL! (Also, I really enjoy watching a sport I understand all the rules of because I played it. That's a foul! That's offsides! That's flopping! Etc.)

If every single married woman isn't out in the streets protesting this, they either don't know what's happening or don't recognizing it's taking away their vote.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Does poetry make a difference? I hope so. I can protest, I can send money, I can write my congresspeople, but really, I am a poet, so here is "I Declare My Resistance," first published in Rise Up Review.

If your husband/boyfriend/brother/father isn't horrified and outraged by what happened to Renee Nicole Good, they won't be horrified or outraged when it happens to you. Something to think about. #ReneeNicoleGood #murderedpoets #murderedmothers #getridofICE

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
