Made a bouquet & found (what I believe to be) a Goldenrod Crab Spider 🥹 I didn’t realize until I was in the car, well on my way from Greensboro to Durham, & so I did my best to give her an access point back into nature

I forgot to post yesterday’s book I read for the #SealeyChallenge: THROWN IN THE THROAT by Benjamin Garcia (Milkweed, 2020). How lush, how varied this book is! I’m a fan!

“Some say my pronouns / should be used for the plural only, // but my dreams / are singular”

—Cass Donish (@cassdonish.bsky.social), “Dignity” from YOUR DAZZLING DEATH (Knopf, 2024), which I’m reading as I catch up on the #sealeychallenge today!

We will not allow this to become normal.

The Trump regime is trying to crush dissent beginning with those who speak out for Palestinian freedom. This is a threat to all who believe in justice. Tell Congress to protect students & demand Mahmoud’s release: bit.ly/freemahmoudnow
