happy Halloween from Noelle Kocot
The Ghost Mechanical beauty of sunrise collapsing. The three days of peace I had last winter That fox buried in its tan hole Unobtrusive autumn with black strands of rain You are not even a memory You have been blotted out with a green fur X And stand lonely somewhere my well-loved ghost

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

"You have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark."

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

one thing that is important to emphasize at that this is just republican governance at work! this is what happens when you give republicans power in washington!

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

“You, as single as a bed” A poem by Heather McHugh.
Inside In the field is a house of wood. A window of the house contains the field. You can't see far with a sun in the sky, with a living-room lamp at night. Locality is all you light, and you, as single as a bed. But there's no end to dark. The bed is in the clearing and the clearing is in the wind; the world is a world among others. Now your cell-stars split.

I dreamed // of a high place,

RIP Martha Silano 💜
When You Didn’t Call I listened to a woman on the bus (“three billion heartbeats equal a lifetime...”), I fell in love with Puccini, every isole, every high-pitched wail. In a drugstore a man approached me, holding a bottle: “is this for the hair?” What confused him were the words builds body. “I can’t believe it,” I barely heard, beneath my bedroom window. Me neither! You didn’t call and I reached for my magic 8-ball. All it could say? Try again later. It poured. It poured and got colder. A flock of birds squeaked in a tree. I dreamed of a high place, miles of granite. We are like that, I thought, black like a starling, white like a flowering hawthorn.
