Dropped my teen son & friends at Cedar point, then decided to go beach reading. It’s very hot, I’m 4 hrs from home, & the only bathing suit I could find in my van was one too ugly for my tween. I stuffed myself in this thing like a weird mom-sausage. Can’t return it now, I guess. Laugh with me.

Welp, unknowingly slept with a bat above us (shitting into the bed) in a cabin in Tennessee, so we spent today getting rabies shots…played crucify by Tori Amos on the drive to the ER, which did make it feel more like Easter. We’ll see if this gets in a poem.

While many of us were caught in the holiday bustle, Israel stormed and raided one of the last hospitals in Gaza. If you’re not appalled, first, wtf is wrong with you and second, @mosababutoha.bsky.social ‘s poems do what poetry always has: draw us to it. #freepalestine #endgenocide

I, like all of us, grew up on Anne of Green Gables, bk 1 & the Megan Fallows series. In HS, I was even in the play Anne of Avonlea. Anyway I read bk 1 with my daughters & decided to start 2. This shit is crazy. Did you know Anne whips a kid & he likes her better for it? Also this:

I can’t stop imagining the meeting of minds that led to this:
Who has an idea for a new light display?
Reindeer?
Think bigger, Carl.
A whale’s big!
No, TWO whales,and they’re being ridden by all Santa’s reindeer.
Ok, but make it a mother and child, because Christmas.

The thing about being a poet is you can write an award winning book about opioids and your childhood trauma, but inevitably people on Goodreads will give you two stars without explaining why 😭. Was it because she had to read it for class?! Someone help me not care.

I don’t understand why people can’t see musk as the oligarch he is…or worse. He’s scarier than Trump. He bought the media and space travel, he’s buying us. How it this real?
