I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

I am so stoked not just to have been nominated, but to have been nominated by @trampset.bsky.social, a journal I have admired for many years and which I had the fortune of finding a home for this piece with 🖤

Day 5 of the @sealeychallenge.bsky.social is the exquisiteness of @donikakelly.bsky.social’s debut

Day 4 of the @sealeychallenge.bsky.social is this inventive gem by Dodie Bellamy. A must-read of erotic, romantic, pornographic poetry.

I split Sharon Olds’ Arias into two days for @sealeychallenge.bsky.social because of its generous length, but what a gift to spend so much time with her work. Olds never fails to stop me in my tracks, again and again.

Sharon Olds can write a poem about anything, and I will read it, and love it, and wish that I’d written it

Where are my @sealeychallenge.bsky.social folks at?? Day 1 is complete; I chose this beautiful collection by @victoriachang.bsky.social to kick it off with a deep, contemplative bang

I'm in a post-Kenyon glow, just wanting to read everything and write every moment, and there are already so many things I want to share and shout into this void even though it may go nowhere, and one them is this fantastic poem by @dia-roth.bsky.social in Sixth Finch: sixthfinch.com/roth1.html

Since we’re still Mid-Conclave, now seems a good time to post this amazing poem by THE Sharon Olds

I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

Buy from my homies @greenapplebooks.bsky.social!
it’s Independent Bookstore Week and I’m here to tell y’all that if you’re still getting your books from Am*zon when they cost the same from an indie and we ship just about anywhere, you are actively making the world a worse place for everyone and I’d better not find out about it, xx oo ❤️
I'm an indie bookstore owner and honesty the margins for me are pretty close. So with my limited inventory if I don't have it in stock I send people to our bookshop.org page. We also get dividends 2 times a year for profit sharing. It's really been great for us. So please shop on bookshop.org

Normalize asking people “How aren’t you?”

I feel like I should probably include “you will end up in my writing if I date you” to all my dating app profiles

Nobody warned me how many customer farts I’d hear while
working retail.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

I love when a sudden idea that will help unlock a story you’re stuck on strikes you randomly on a walk with your family and you go nonverbal with everyone because you’re thinking about plot

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

I love having kids because even when I’m going pee and have the door closed they’re saying things like “mom, in one second it will be the future”

So glad I got that breaking news update hot off the presses 🫤

I revisited my podcast recording in Alph4numeric, which is made by zoeticpress.bsky.social in conjunction with their NonBinary Review, and was blown away (again) by what an amazing job they did producing my work! It’s eerie and dreadful in the best way. youtu.be/w33h3MxjiJU?...

Why can’t I be rich enough to have a library in my home?! These stacks of books by my bed are becoming structurally unsound
