As usual @cyreejarelle.bsky.social writes in a deeply grounding way about the important things and I think I wrote this around the same time as reading this piece:

should everyone who can join a movement org? yeah, probably!

but most of those orgs aren’t really ready to meet people where they’re at—so can we blame folks for staying home?

new substack for folk burned by an org who need help coming back into alignment:

NGL. I wouldn’t loved if Dot had used this whole debacle to advocate for child survivors of SA. @cyreejarelle.bsky.social made a point a while back about how OFF it is that the song of the summer was making light of a very serious crime and stain on society.

I am slowly getting better at unrhymed iambic pentameter. It would seem like it's the easiest meter, and it *is* sort of the easiest to, like, minimally carry out, but it's might be the hardest to be actually good at, I think. Nowhere to hide

Recently, I saw all the men’s underwear in Target were locked up and just burst out laughing. It’s wild.

I think the long term goal is to drive us away from in-person shopping all together. They’re turn old stores into Amazon-like warehouses.
Seems like people wanna talk about all the locked-up stuff at chain pharmacies and big box stores today. Here’s a gift link to a feature I published a few months ago about why retailers started putting so much stuff behind plexiglass and how badly it’s backfired. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
Retailers Locked Up Their Products—and Broke Shopping in America
CVS, Target and other chains have barricaded everything from toiletries to cleaning supplies. It’s backfired in almost every way.

or—what if we center autistics who these stereotypes render a target instead of prioritizing the broad idea of validity for once?
Hey friends. I want to make a small request. Can we remove "acts autistic" or "looks autistic" from the vernacular maybe? Cause here's the thing. Anything you traditionally associate with autism for "symptoms" someone else does not exhibit. But they are still autistic.

Rupi Kuar—unlike many Pulitzer or NBA-winning poets—has actually takes a stand against genocide. She is more of a real poet and writer than a lot of clowns published by Faber or teaching in the Ivy League because she takes the role of public intellect seriously. Most writers now act like ad salesmen
Someone said Rupi Kaur is the Kenny G of poetry and I think this is the fairest, and the most accurate assessment of her work.
