What a delight to welcome @paulinaporizkov to @nyswi @ualbany She was funny, warm, authentic and disarmingly candid. Her luminous beauty is obvious, but it is heart and brains that really shine. What a marvelous spirit. Thanks, Paulina. You made a lot of new fans in Albany.

In case you missed it, Mitch McConnell said the quiet part out loud last night: “African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans.”
Make sure everyone sees this.

Bees are Black - with Gilt Surcingles -
Buccaneers of Buzz -
Ride abroad in ostentation
And subsist on Fuzz -
Fuzz ordained - not Fuzz contingent -
Marrows of the Hill.
Jugs - a Universe’s fracture
Could not jar or spill.

Ask a New York Times bestselling memoirist how to recognize when a major life event is also the plot of a blockbuster #memoir and you get some great writing advice. Thank you, @juliemetzwriter. What a fine and generous writer and interview you are. marionroach.com/2021/05/how-…

Long Years apart - can make no
Breach a second cannot fill -
The absence of the Witch does not
Invalidate the spell -
The embers of a Thousand Years
Uncovered by the Hand
That fondled them when they were Fire
Will stir and understand
