Mondays are for odes, but last night I had trouble finding gratitude to fill a page. It's okay not to be okay. #ode #poetry

please, for the good of humanity, hurt </3 #poem #sonnet

Volume 1 of the Antifa Lit Journal is available for pre-order. Get your copy by backing the Kickstarter for Volume 2 here: bit.ly/ALJKick. Not a Pipe Publishing (@NotAPipePub) is currently accepting submissions for V2. Stand with brave authors and poets like @juliafigliotti.bsky.social

"Loving you is not separate from the struggle for liberation. It is liberation itself. I fight for you, and for every Palestinian child whose life deserves safety, tenderness and freedom. I hope one day you will stand tall knowing your father was not absent out of apathy, but out of conviction."

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier

Nothing quite like a two-year-old asking "And what is your purpose?"

#Fascists are bad. Being #anti-fascist is good. Being loudly anti-fascist is best. I'm proud to have three #poems featured in the first volume of the #Antifa Lit Journal, which you can pre-order anywhere books are sold. Or, contribute to the Kickstarter for Volume 2 (🔗 ⤵️) to get Vol. 1 for free!

Being scary on purpose seems like a really lonely way to live.

Happy #gardening season, fronds 🌿💅 #poetry #acrostic

Goddammit why can't we just be kind

infinite cheers to the "jump to recipe" button 🎉

I need words poured into me the way an Italian adds salt to a pot of water before bringing it to a boil

Back to #sonnets on Saturdays. "Carceral" is for waking up (again and again and again).

Sometimes when I'm feeling down I reread the comments people have left on my fanfictions and wow does it help.

Me: *sends a message to @schumer.senate.gov to ensure his opposition to the SAVE Act* Chuck's reply: "Check out these voting rights bills I helped pass! Aren't I the best? Don't forget to vote for me again in the midterms!" Your time in office is fast approaching its end, my dude.

A #prayer and a #poem for all who fight. #activism #activist #resist #revolution #rest

Every time I hit this level of exhaustion I'm so grateful to not also have kids.

In addition to his heroic actions these past 20+ hours (and counting!), the powerhouse that is @booker.senate.gov just took a moment during his filibuster to acknowledge that the #BuffaloBills are the only NFL team in NYS 🤙 Thank you for your incredible advocacy and patriotism today, Senator.

When you figure out the phrase you want to write the day's #acrostic #poem from and then realize you've trapped yourself into starting a line with X 🙃

I'm both wonderfully energized by the potential of my #D&D campaign and completely overwhelmed by the planning required ahead of each session.

Felt human, might burst into tears later.

Friendly reminder that police are here to protect and serve, but you cannot count on them protecting and serving YOU.

I can't get this @Kappa_Kappa tweet out of my head, and Tuesdays are for #acrostic #poems, so here we are. [alt text provided with each image]

Last night someone defaulted to referring to me using they/them pronouns and it made my heart so happy 🥰 (the fact that they were complimenting my outfit didn't hurt, either)

Happy #IdesOfTrump to all who celebrate 🖕

Plain clothes. No identification. Unmarked vehicles. An unreadable photo of a "warrant" shown on a phone. This is not legal. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

I didn't take pictures of the #BloodMoon eclipse last night, but I did write a #poem.

Creation is not passive, it is powerful. If you're a #poet, #author, or #artist, and you are against #fascism in all its forms, consider adding your voice and vision to this international anthology through @notapipe.bsky.social. Submission deadline is March 15.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social looking forward to your statement in defense of the First Amendment right to free speech of your unconstitutionally detained constituent. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

This is the weakest sauce response to a clear violation of our Constitution. Shame on you @schumer.senate.gov for feeding into the bullshit narrative that being anti-Israeli occupation/genocide and pro-Palestinian liberation equates to being antisemitic.

Okay honestly the irony of my pen giving out as I force myself to write an ode to #resilience is a whole damn mood. Time to frantically tear the house apart until I find an ink that matches because I have ✨️compulsive tendancies✨️
