Headed to #AWP26! See you there, hopefully. Sad to have missed @aliner panel. Excited to read at open mic offsite @rhinopoetry reading. Have a poem from my forthcoming book in their forthcoming 2026 issue.

Thankfully we have created these magic robots to spare you the burden of thinking, writing, making music and art—leaving you to your true passions such as dishwashing, trash disposal, and diaper-changing which we are unfortunately unable to automate at this time

I really hope we have a whole cultural revolution against AI that centers art and literature. I want stuff from human hands, made using human imagination, honed skill, and care of craft.

PSA: If you have a library card, you can download the Kanopy app to your TV and watch a truly heroic amount of free movies and TV shows. There's new stuff but also a bunch of classics (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Devil and Daniel Webster) that you can't find anywhere else.

Flags flew at half staff and honors poured in for Charlie Kirk, as the WH and GOP leaders demanded he be celebrated as a hero.
No such treatment for a Civil Rights icon and one of our last bridges to King’s civil rights movement.

It’s an outrage that @jkbjournalist has never won the Pulitzer Prize for her trailblazing, courageous work.
A question for everyone serving on the Pulitzer board: Why?

Never in a million years did I fathom this when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018.

Most underrated way to have instantly better health: in the moments you want to be mean and critique yourself say "it's ok to make mistakes" "you're doing better every day" and "I do not have to rush, I can rest and go slow."

It took about 3 months to create this. Thank you for taking a second to like and share. Thank you.

A simple message with big meaning: "I am somebody." We are grateful to Rev. Jesse Jackson for helping teach generations of children to believe in themselves and in one another. Thank you for being part of our neighborhood. 💛💚

Feliz día del amor y la amistad a todas y todos. El amor vence al odio, al miedo y hasta las calumnias.

There seems to be some confusion about the SAVE America Act. If it becomes law, you will NOT be able to vote with your drivers license alone.
You’d need:
1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130
OR
2. A birth certificate PLUS your photo ID with matching names, which nearly 70 million married women lack
OR
3. Military services papers (not a military ID alone) with sensitive info.
I’m voting NO.
