On the whole I like it here, and I like not supporting M*sk in any way, but I really, REALLY miss Hockey Twitter. It's the playoffs, goalies are dropping like flies, Ovi keeps scoring, Flower is retiring, Tom Wilson is Tom Wilsoning, the PWHL is expanding. Hockey Twitter is probably lit right now 🏒🔥

Last time I engaged w/ the guy next to me on an international flight (talked about movies, shared recs on what to watch), he drank too much then when the flight attendant wouldn't bring him a drink turned to me & said "what a bitch" & then I had to sit next to him another 4 hours so nah. Earbud me.

Me writing a persona poem

Please, please, please, I need your help! (it's for next year's rankings...) Does anyone have a copy of Best New Poets 2016, 2019, 2022, 2023 and/or 2024? If not, could you please retweet? Thank you so much! 🙏

Lift people up when they do the right thing (we should still hold their feet to the fire for all the shitty stuff, but don't ignore the good calls)

“Vic Hitler, The Narcoleptic Comic” was on Hill Street Blues in 1983, but sure, Jan.

Has anyone ever said "My rights are a distraction?" It's always someone else's rights, right?

lol

lol remember when Swiss Hockey blackballed Théo Rochette because he said no to traveling to Jr. Worlds & double-quarantining at the peak of the pandemic? Dude had a 4-point night including a natural hat-trick in the playoff finals (I know they finally rescinded the ban but the arrogance still burns)

THIS BOOK IS INCREDIBLE 🔥🔥🔥

Hi Chicago, even if I’m just dashing through O‘Hare between gates I do so love seeing you

Starting the week with a new poem up at @swwim.bsky.social. www.swwim.org/swwimeveryda...

This pork belly sandwich from Cochon Butcher is literally one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life 🤤 So simple, so divine.

Come by the Open Mic today to see if I can keep it together and pronounce "musculoaponeurotic" properly in public! Also, if you've ever wanted to hear somebody use musculoaponeurotic in a poem, I'm your girl! #NOPF #TumorMoon🌖

All events originally scheduled at St. Roch Tavern have been smoothly moved to Siberia, just a 6-minute walk from the New Orleans Healing Center. Vibes are equally great!! 😌

This is like a handbook for how to build, sustain, and expand movements for social justice. I’m loving the details on logistics and decision making

I could have gone on and on about What Good Is Heaven by @rayehendrix.bsky.social but I had a word limit, so I focused on how they complicate mercy, kindness, and violence raintaxi.com/what-good-is... Get your own copy to discover everything else this amazing book is doing

Remind me again why I put the word "musculoaponeurotic" in the poem I am most likely to perform at a reading? 🙄

Someone left this ARC in my hotel‘s lending library and I am devouring it!!

I'm in New Orleans! Reading Friday at the Open Mic, then enjoying all the New Orleans Poetry Festival has to offer on Saturday and Sunday. I hope to meet you!

took part in my first salon and failed miserably at this quiz. The wonderful readings made up for my humiliation

💥 Costco’s board of directors requested shareholders vote against a proposal to dismantle its DEI programs. Shareholders voted 98-2 percent to uphold DEI. 19 state AG’s demanded Costco repeal DEI. Costco hasn’t caved. 13 straight weeks increased foot traffic. chicagodefender.com/costcos-foot...
