A searing and poetic call, in the tradition of Dr King, for us to resist the dream that keeps us asleep, and instead embrace the tension of the moment to pull forward.

Here's a quick n easy primer on writing alt text. If you're feeling time constrained even very brief notes is better than nothing, i.e. for this image "capybara in a hot spring". If there's zero alt text there's 0 context at all.
XOXO!

Looking for a distraction today? Or just want to help climate scientists?
Immerse yourself in some ship voyages from the 1860s and help transcribe the weather observations taken so we can improve our understanding of how the climate has changed.

Doorbell just rang. A package from Australia. The bookseller Nicholas Pounder sent me a small press print of my Times Literary Supplement poem, "Criseyde." It's a private, gift copy, and it has brought tears to my eyes this morning, for so many reasons.

This isn’t my 1st rodeo, but it might be yours — & I wish like hell it wasn’t. But one of the reasons I’m a literary historian is that the work reminds me I'm one of a long, long line of those who have imagined better, & more importantly, worked for better, come what may.

Gentle reminder that most disabled people can NOT leave the United States. Countries don’t want to take in disabled, chronically ill and “high cost health users”. There are serious financial barriers to moving - leaving most people behind.

If you have bandwidth and are safe to do so, look into your options to volunteer for government-related boards and commissions. It's a great way to make contacts and get more familiar with your area, but it's also a great way to help make things a little better.

For those who are mad and activated (good) my one hope is that you will look for the people already doing the work. You probably do not need to invent your own new organization or group. Find the people already doing it and join them, listen to them, learn from them.
