Feng’s poem (May/June American Poetry Review) speaks to working poets out there, and to everyone who is subject to these stupid evaluations. And now with AI aiding in the construction and writing the reviews of our effectiveness, our “success”, now can we finally call B.S. on performance reviews?

Stories shape culture. In a time when book bans, censorship, & attacks on women's voices are ramping up, one of the most powerful things we can do is amplify stories that matter. Let’s make sure stories by Women+ and BIPOC authors are not erased! Book list & sign-up link in bio. #communityofwriters

I see people deactivating various social media accounts, which I understand & respect, but I’m done letting Bad Tech Bros™️ chase me out of my community spaces.
Maybe there are no more “good places.” Maybe there are only good people doing their best to navigate—& use for good—problematic spaces.

If you need some optimism in your reading world, I highly recommend giving this collection of essays/interviews a read. We’ve heard all the doom about our climate emergency. “What If We Get It Right” takes a moment to share a vision of the future if we do make changes. It’s hope, for a change.

this genuinely, without exaggeration, healed a little fracture inside of me that has been broken my whole adult life
DID YOU KNOW for 25 years Matthew Shepard had no permanent resting place due to concerns his grave would be vandalized
Reverend Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to inter him inside the Washington National Cathedral.

She was and is a real hero.
