My bad. McSweeney's didn't feature "[the narrative toilet]." Dennis Johnson shared it on the Melville House blog as an example of "interesting people using the internet to have a genuinely fresh discussion about ideas of linguistic form." He was referencing my collaborative work with Nathan Moore.
I'm still proud of this piece, "[the narrative toilet]," which I made for a collaborative poetry collection written with Nathan Moore. McSweeney's even featured it on their site.

I know. It was devastating for many of us. I can't imagine how that felt for you.

All thanks to the July 24 executive order. I knew this was coming here in Utah. This isn't about getting people back into the community. It's about preventing people from being part of the community.

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up

I live in Utah, ten minutes from where Tyler Robinson and his partner live. The unfolding story is more complicated and tragic than I could have imagined, and we still don't know everything. We may never know the whole story.

The life partner had to feed me today because I forgot about that is how I am.

My high school in Oklahoma posted this page from our 1989 yearbook on X. I'm not in the photo, but look at it. Just look.

I watch many poets continue to interact with women who chose to defend a rapist and promote their own careers over cancelling an abuser. I see you and I note this. And they call themselves feminist and “gurlesque.”
