Who would have guessed the thing that would worry me most about starting a new graduate degree at age 40 is switching from the MLA style guide to the APA style guide.

This is why I got a booster. At some point one of these Texas yahoos are going to wander to New Orleans for a hot infection weekend.

I called Cassidy and Kennedy this morning at their Metairie offices and left voicemails at each regarding RFK Jr's nomination. I don't know if other offices are answering, but cal anyway.

Left two messages about voting against Senate confirmation of RFK Jr. Took me 2 minutes.
Invariably if it's an issue of national importance it's one of the actions and scripts with phone numbers on this incredibly handy website. If you call outside office hours you can leave a voicemail.

I'm adopting a new motto for the foreseeable future: dream small. Affect what I can in the way I can, without burning myself out. Not every fight has to be big, and winning smaller ones can make the big one easier.

Hope is the thing with lawyers
Homan went on CNN to complain that ICE’s attempts to arrest Chicagoans has been hampered by the people’s knowledge of policy—largely because of the city’s “Know Your Rights” campaign. Fascists rely on your compliance. On your ignorance. They depend upon your fear.
Disappoint them.

What are small things you do to help build community in your immediate area?
I garden and will put extra seedlings or produce or little bouquets out for neighbors to take. I started doing it to keep food from going to waste, but neighbors stop and talk to me when I'm gardening now.

Look, if you're not from New Orleans maybe just be quiet for a bit. I don't want to hear platitudes from politicians who have said they will bend the city to their will, or from people who said we deserved Katrina. This tragedy doesn't matter more just because tourists were involved.

Never been a consistent writer, usually just jotted poems down when they appeared. In Oct, I and a friend started a weekly one-hour writing Zoom. I have 13 poems for a chapbook, 11 of which I wrote in the past 3 months.
How dare it be correct that actually taking time to write yields results.

While vaccines are on the mind, just a reminder to fellow xennials/elder millennials to get your MMR titres checked. Depending on where you were and when you were born, you may only have gotten one vaccination instead of the now-standard two.

I am up to seven poems in five weeks for my chapbook or collection. Completion feels so far away it seems scarcely attainable. Is this normal?

My grandmother died in March 2020. There was no funeral, and I have not had the chance to visit her grave. Every hurricane on the west coast of Florida makes me worry that I never will.
Anyway, here's the now-published poem I wrote the last time my grandparents cemetery had storm flooding.

Making us come back to the office on Friday after spending Wed-Thu working remotely for the hurricane should be against the Geneva Convention. You could build so much morale and goodwill if you would just call the week a wash. But productivity.
