Again, another
fight to visualise
who is in charge;
sameness and impossibility
interrupt the signal fusing
some me to not-you,
cutting the watch party
short. I rise to leave;
[and briefly: there, one
speaking down another's
throat, flipped over
and falling through,
smudging the lens, touching
a now against a then,
hair lassoing teeth, eating
features in a smoothing-over
of consequence, a clawing,
a plea to have the power for longer,
seeking the mirror of one eye
to meet the other - to trick
ourselves into thinking
we are the only ones
possessing infinite perspective]
I hate the analogue lull
of a large death
I am yet to know](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p4r2ldh65jze7l2kzspxo4rp/bafkreibpzykxes2q5f3bjirrnlc5jla372p3atos54fd4q7i5z7xn6ve7i@jpeg)
hello! back here briefly to pin some end-of-year stuff
- poem in Icarus 76.1 (issuu.com/icarustcd/do...)
- poem in Propel's 2025 anthology, originally in Issue Fifteen (www.propelmagazine.co.uk/shop2/p/anth...)
there's a range of really impressive work in each (and a look at Icarus is free!)

It is worth saying that putting “Africana studies” in scare quotes as if it’s a ridiculous concept is not a political argument. It’s just racism. “Africa is not worthy of a major” is the implication. Yeah dude you’re just racist. (From Gerard Baker at the WSJ today)

One thing Trump shut down by destroying USAID was programs (at least in Asia) to protect Christian minorities.
Trump said he has instructed the Defense Department to “prepare for possible action” in Nigeria over the country’s alleged killing of Christians.
Trump tells Defense Department to 'prepare for possible action' in Nigeria
The move came a day after Trump designated Nigeria a "country of particular concern" over alleged violations of religious freedom.

Hi Lisa Nandy! I’m a BAFTA winner from a small town. Instead of asinine questions like this, why not tell us how we can continue to make a living in the eviscerated creative sector over which you notionally preside?
