There are three dams on the Mississippi near Minneapolis built for commercial barge navigation. They have massively impacted river ecology around the Twin Cities and are no longer used for barges. Before the dams, there were 120 fish species in the Mississippi River Gorge area. Now there are 20.

“I think of the creative process very much like breathing, because each time I inhale I’m taking in other writers, other artists, other community members. I’m hearing their voices and absorbing what I understand from their experiences. And all of that comes out as the exhale, which is the work.”
Poet Sayuri Matsuura Ayers creates in community – Matter News
The Columbus writer will appear as part of ‘Rhapsody & Refrain,’ a two-week, 30-poet blitz that kicks off at Streetlight Guild on Wednesday, April 16.

Revolutionary Nahuatl for 3/19/25

Book 10 of the FLORENTINE CODEX dedicates a paragraph in Nahuatl to the ways in which pre-Spanish Invasion Nahuas described an evil head-of-state. I was posting them one at a time, but the passage works best as a whole.

The lineage of North American poetry that descends from Whitman & Emerson is born from the democratic belief that we are all, essentially, mystical beings and, as such, we are always at the right place at the right time. We need only develop our eyes & ears & hearts & minds to embrace this.

Buffett’s annual letter is out — and includes this message to “Uncle Sam” about the tax Berkshire will pay:

“Spend it wisely. Take care of the many who, through no fault of their own, get the short straws in life. They deserve better.” 🇺🇸

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1
Why are Republican states trying to overturn a pillar of disability rights?
They may not be successful in repealing Section 504 as part of the attack on treating gender dysphoria, but it begs the question of what they might come for next.
