Enthusiastic turnout for Good Trouble Lives On in Richmond, Va. Heat index over 100 degrees but plenty of shade along Monument. Orange mussolini demanding Texas and the GOP intensify their gerrymandering. Can't let it happen. #goodtroubleliveson #votingrights #johnlewis #protests #gerrymandering

#NoKings protest in Richmond, Virginia, near where I live. It was organized, well-planned, and to the point. Above all, peaceful and unified. Senator Ghazala Hashmi delivered an inspiring speech. The message is loud and clear. Part 2 of Hashmi's speech.

An #AI program took my #poetry collection Mooncalf, and my poem Respiratto published by Chelonian Conservancy Journal, from a database called #LibGen to train on. Sans permission. Great article in #Publishing Perspectives by P. Anderson.

Conversation with a Coat

conversation was the thread between us
that couldn’t hold on
the stitching unraveled and the elbows worn

lift the handset, please, from the cradle when I call,
and put your coat on the line
we can talk some kitsch to pass the time

A fine protest. To the point and peaceful. Instead of dwelling on the negatives, show your displeasure and vote them out in all offices of government, starting with the lowest offices and on up. Shout out the truth in the streets and don't drink the Kool Aid. #HandsOff #protests #Musk #resist

A lit agency replied they would work with me if I increased the word count. I added a new chapter and a character named Higgs who guides Ebele and Jared to the Empyrean Realm using bosons and scalar waves. I borrowed from Dante’s Paradiso to tell the ending.
