greed is a sickness
screenshot of a Zillow listing that shows a house sold in 2014 for $54,000. in 2025 it is listed at $165,000, an increase (according to Zillow; I didn't check the math) of 205%

this will happen too
screenshot of a book cover. it's very pale pink. a monochrome image of rose hips and leaves in dull red is in the center. beneath that, 'Abundant Number' in a similar red. Smaller, above and below, two legends: above, "assembled on the upper Great Plains in late autumn 2025 of parts made in Switzerland & elsewhere" and below, "volume 6/midwinter/& new year/2025-26"

it will happen
screenshot of the top quarter of a page laid out like a newspaper (three columns and a full-width header). Header says "ABUNDANT NUMBER" and has a drawings of a snail. Under that the left two columns say "POETRY IS NOT A ZERO-SUM GAME" and the right column says "from LOCAL DISTRIBUTION" and there is a small amount of text visible but not legible under each headline.

YEP. "Rude technology" is perfect. We don't owe it our politeness and certainly not our deference
Screenshot. Text reads: "I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response. Miyazaki said, “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.” Scam Altman said we can surround the solar system with a Dyson Sphere to hold data centers. Miyazaki is right, and Altman is wrong. Miyazaki tells stories that blend the ordinary and the fantastic in ways people find deeply meaningful. Altman tells lies for money."

Teaching Writing Despite "AI": The non-coercive rearranging of desire Shana Youngdahl, Arisa White, Kate Schapira, Éireann Lorsung In-Person Event Event Category: Pedagogy Here, experienced teachers respond to ethical, artistic, and human questions that the normalization of LLMs brings to writing education. How can we prioritize process over product, and center human creativity and engagement with the world? How can we design work away from the screen, or help our students move away from it? We will detail strategies for reminding our students that process is the aim of education, and writing invites the full presence of ourselves in the world.

Screenshot of part of a poem. The text reads: Longing, we say, because desire is full of endless distances. I must have been the same to her. But I remember so much, the way her hands dismantled bread, the thing her father said that hurt her, what she dreamed. There are moments when the body is as numinous as words, days that are the good flesh continuing. Such tenderness, those afternoons and evenings, saying blackberry, blackberry, blackberry. It is "Meditation at Lagunitas" by Robert Hass

Two poems from #PinkTheory (forthcoming from @milkweededitions.bsky.social in 2026) are in the @kenyonreview.bsky.social, including this one, which I think I won't tell my mom about
A screenshot of a poem. It is in block-justified prose stanzas. Errors are intentional. Text reads: Proust studies (Davis translation of vol. 1) There exists but a single intelligence of which everyone is co-tenant (Proust) All "an observer" (I mean me) can do at this distance (I mean centuries I mean centimeters) is notice how velvet is like sky, or roof tile is unlike the petal of a rose under a microscope. In spring the observer might list (I mean study) hazel, violet, primrose, buttercups, wild grass; the yellow iris in the ditch along the road. This spring, like most, Desire is a cloud flying through the landscape. Such was my "habit of taking literally the figurative expressions" (or did I mean the pathetic phallusy, excuse me, fallatio, excuse me, fallacy). A very gentle and very failed scholar. My academic career adds up to “cabbage green”, “plum blue”, “a rosy velvet, an epidermis of light”. This is not sufficient. Unfortunately I come to see no difference between writing about a novel and writing poppies, lilacs, hawthorns, cornflowers, apple trees, waterlilies, and buttercups (again, again). Like finding the distinction (I mean the place where the tenor and the vehicle think about you and touch themselves) between what Proust calls “the sensation of flowering” and the act of flowering. The book's pages move in the air current from an open window. (—“the delicate tip of the steeple of Saint-Hilaire, but so thin, so pink”)

A screenshot of part of a poem. It reads: Americium Éireann Lorsung a relatively soft radioactive metal with a silvery appearancefirst intentionally synthesized, isolated, and identified in 1944the discovery was closely related to the Manhattan Project The nation contains intrinsic defects.Something has been sending out messages at the rate of decay.This varies. Because nò bòdy does nòt respond to radiation.It is concentrated on those who witnessed the explosions, and in the soil.Part Two: a white substance heaving westward.O! Pioneers! In truth the word landscape is the mark of an outside gaze.If present on earth, you will have decayed by now.The other side of multitudes is continental death.

A screenshot of a poem. Text below. Sonnet for ordinary time A little wind. A little bit of rain. The first leaves drifting down from ash and oak. The cosmos, wild now and full of blooms; the purple furze on bolted artichoke. Nasturtiums pile. The finches come to land on sunflowers’ heads, that hang toward the ground. The plums are gone, the apples, too; the corn stands stripped of every ear, dried out and brown. Fall’s sentence here is clipped—no lengthy phrase compounding thought and image to express what’s clear for anyone to see. Short days. Damp air. The blackcap (once again) has left her nest. The things I struggle for with pen and ear return in autumn’s grammar every year.

made these in fall 2024 and was interested to see where they got taken down and where they stayed up. we really can make space for one another -- for more thinking and more being

a picture of a poem in a book. the poem is called "Simile". the book is called Pattern-book. the author is me. SIMILE How does a simile work? -Place something next to something and say, here. (The here is where the somethings touch.) The rainy night, like Debussy. There on the shelf, a piece of grapevine in a blue vase. The world is so much like itself it can be hard to see. Tomorrow I will try again to understand: what is a simile? All night, all day: the rain comes in vertical lines, then horizontal lines, like a drawing made on the world I can perceive. How does the simile do whatever it is it does to us? The world is touching the world itself and touching me. My hand, this pencil making all these marks. A drawing of the world that is the world, that I can make. That's making me.
