In case it isn’t clear, this is a concentration camp. Please call your reps, tell them to demand complete stoppage of the use of Guantanamo Bay as a Trump’s concentration camp, and use that language so there’s no mistaking what we’re talking about here.

Folks: A number of the most committed fascist trolls are coming over here and trying to create a presence, presumably bc Xitter will quickly lose its value as everyone migrates. One way to combat them is to use @numb.comfortab.ly 's list to mass block them.

Today I learned that carbon footprints were invented by BP and pushed in a mega marketing campaign to shift the conversation from corporations to individuals and I hate everyone.
Except NPR, thanks for the reporting.

Parents... please check your children's candy tonight. I just went through Salomé Athena's haul and I found a copy of the Jorge Luis Borges short story collection "The Garden of Forking Paths". This metatextual exploration may be too advanced for young readers.

i got to work with Louise Glück and met with her several times about my poetry. the last time, she said: "why do you keep looking at your phone?" that's where my poems were. Louise Glück workshopped with me all those times thinking i was like texting people the whole time

more than once i have had a visual poem rejected for accessibility reasons—that when shrunk to the size of the page the text doesn't fit a size requirement what is interesting to me about this is thinking about what "legibility" is in a work of visual art

This is by far the weirdest Monet I’ve ever seen. It’s giving The Others. It’s giving passage to the underworld. Maybe he should have gone down this road and been a symbolist.

i spend 15 minutes a day reading a book that was important to someone who is important to me and the percentage of them that i actually enjoy is low but it's still one of my favorite practices because you can talk to the person about the book or get to know them better
