I’m a poet and essayist who occasionally plays on a Gretsch, shoots with a camera, and weaves on a rigid heddle loom. What’s good?
Yo what up Bluesky. I always feel like I’m just shouting into an empty room here. But it’s my #birthday so I’m trying to use the bday energy to get people to look at my poetry.

Say I wanted to blow this erasure poem up to the size of a good protest sign, how would I do that?

Easthampton, MA showed the hell up today. Couldn’t be happier to be in community with these brave, compassionate, bright souls.

What felt like our entire small town came out to the roundabout to say fuck off fascists. I’m wet and cold af but seeing all my fellow citizen standing up makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Hands Off! No Kings here!

I got an IUD inserted last week, yay! I then turned the patient information booklet into erasure poetry. I’m thinking about performing it at open mic tonight. Will I look insane reading poetry from a Liletta pamphlet? Is looking insane a problem?

Northampton Record Fair was really kind to my poet heart. Not pictured but also acquired: Elliott Smith’s From A Basement On The Hill and Doja Cat’s Planet Her.

Hi Bluesky! I’m Elizabeth Bayou-Grace. After literally half my life on Facebook, I quit last month. I spent a couple weeks without any real social media and I miss it! I’m feeling disconnected from things like protests and other happenings against fascism.
