I don't really know why I'm even trying to publish poetry at all right now. People can say "poetry will change the world" but we've been writing steady for thousands of years and this is some terrible shit we're in. So--???

Bluesky seems to involve a ton of folks reposting clearly fraudulent fundraisers?

Oh great.
(roughly) gauging the state-level risk of Trump's trade war, Michigan is far & away the most-exposed state due to its prominent auto industry and close ties to Canada, followed by Texas with its close ties to Mexico, & Illinois with its major refineries for Canadian crude

Does anyone have a LEGIT reason to believe the 2/5 protests are a trap created to impose martial law? Because to me it seems like fear and paranoia. There are risks in this and all action, of course. But what's the alternative? Docility? Shitposting? What's a BETTER FUCKING PLAN?

I’m getting word from academics to back up and download anything you might have on a work server or work computer.

Especially anyone who is NHS, NEA, NIH funded and doing work in any DEI field - queer, BLM - any federal grant funding

Federally funded equipment can be seized.

Folks, I am not the Jessica Walsh who designs things (?). I'm a poet & professor, which means I'm weird & have big feelings. Feel free to keep following me! Things are crazy these days and building community is wonderful. But if you're looking for the designer JW, I ain't it. I'm the generic one. xo

So are NEA grants frozen, too? If so, I'm afraid they won't be back...

Saw the musical, saw the movie. I'm just not seeing what everyone loves about Wicked. I'm broken, I think 😂

I've read this and it's 🔥!
In apocryphal texts, an angel gave women makeup and was cast out. Today, could this demon help a trapped teenage girl seeking bodily autonomy? FRANCESCA is a gothic, feminist bildungsroman inspired by Canto V of Dante’s INFERNO. Sandra Newman’s JULIA + James Joyce’s PORTRAIT. #A #LF #SPF #2025Pit

Life gets lonelier in ways that are as necessary as they are awful. I think we're meant to befriend the veil long before we go through it.
