We live in an ABUNDANCE of incredible poetry books—my god, this year alone. Despite shoe string arts budgets and cancelled NEA funding and so much scarcity, American poetry LIVES—and does so largely through VERY small and micro presses.

Over 91% of Clients in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Reach Undetectable Status
New data confirm Ryan White’s success—undetectable equals untransmittable (and healthier)—but GOP leaders want to slash these HIV funds.

Happy Winter Solstice!

On midwinter’s day, the sun sets between the pair of stones that form the largest trilithon at #Stonehenge

Farewell to the shortest day of the year, as we look forward to lighter days ahead! ☀️

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Yesterday my mom (85) expressed concern that the drink flavor packets she picked up have some sugar in them. It's so depressing to hear a woman who doesn't even eat or drink enough worrying about 10 calories. Diet culture is a MFer.

This particular caravan of federal agents may have left, for now, but we still have work to do to create a state where everyone can live freely, with dignity and without fear. Join us tomorrow at 6 PM in Charlotte and Raleigh. Stay posted for next steps at defendandrecruit.org/nc

We should all be clear that this administration and national elite are absolutely determined to make sure that moral action and intellectual rigor are economically and socially penalized.

Their goal is to make traditional "success" literally inaccessible to moral and intellectually-engaged people.

Oh, & the ebook of ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR is still only $2.99 on all platforms! This is the time!

It applies an ancient moral framework for accountability for harm to not only healing the harm we cause in our own lives (we're all people, we all *do*) but to institutional, systemic, national harm:

Deleting an article is not the same as a journalistic retraction and apology. WSJ and every other publication that ran with this nonsense without any fact checking and put trans folks at real risk need to run apologies.

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

I know the problems feel big.

I know you feel like nothing you can do will ever be enough.

You’re right. It won’t be.

That’s why we work together.

"peaceful protests don't do anything" I hear some of you saying. They show the world that the people are not OK with what is happening. Trump does not have some overwhelming mandate

And thousands of people are getting used to saying no, loudly, on a Saturday afternoon

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

My early thoughts on the Anthropic settlement:
a) good, fucking pay us
b) no, that’s not enough
c) shouldn’t have stolen our shit to train your stupid mediocre plagiarism artbarf robot in the first place, you fuckers
d) this isn’t something to celebrate; it is a Pyrrhic victory at best
