Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

We live in an ABUNDANCE of incredible poetry books—my god, this year alone. Despite shoe string arts budgets and cancelled NEA funding and so much scarcity, American poetry LIVES—and does so largely through VERY small and micro presses.

A greyscale cartoon of a movie promo poster featuring woman wearing a long scarf, ear muffs, a jumper, mini skirt and heels walking through snow holding a phone, handbag and a coffee, looking up at a heart that contains a bearded smiling man. The text around the image reads:

SHE is a single, high-flying journalist writer baker living in the hustle and bustle of New York city who inherits a Christmas tree farm bakery hotel from her dead great-aunt in her tiny rural hometown and must choose between a promotion in the big city or writing that novel she's always dreamed of while opening her own bakery in Little Town, Vermont and also running a beloved local Christmas tree farm or something, I don't know.

HE is a wholesome country boy she used to date when she was 16, with a heart of gold who has never left Little Town and says things like "You city folk", has never seen a mobile phone before and thinks Wi-Fi is witchcraft - he's handsome but in a non-threatening way, and gosh darn it he loves that damn Christmas tree farm and won't let those suits build a mall on it.

Together they find true love - and themselves - in...

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Yesterday my mom (85) expressed concern that the drink flavor packets she picked up have some sugar in them. It's so depressing to hear a woman who doesn't even eat or drink enough worrying about 10 calories. Diet culture is a MFer.

We should all be clear that this administration and national elite are absolutely determined to make sure that moral action and intellectual rigor are economically and socially penalized. Their goal is to make traditional "success" literally inaccessible to moral and intellectually-engaged people.

Deleting an article is not the same as a journalistic retraction and apology. WSJ and every other publication that ran with this nonsense without any fact checking and put trans folks at real risk need to run apologies.

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

Chart showing Detention Population, Among Those Arrested by ICE in the Interior, by Criminal Record. The data goes back to 2019 and is divided into three groups of people who were arrested by ICE: Any prior conviction, pending charges, and no criminal record. The chart shows that until 2025, the single largest group was always people with prior criminal convictions. But starting in the Trump admin, the population of people arrested with no criminal record began skyrocketing. It surpassed people with pending criminal charges in June and is now extremely close to those with prior convictions.
