Oh my god, I just saw some of the video from Zelensky’s White House visit. They’re lucky he didn’t put them both in a chokehold and set the place on fire. Those useless monsters are spitting on all Ukraine has suffered. Horrific inhuman behavior from Vance and Trump.

I saw new blades of grass coming up from the dirt today and stared at how green and audacious they seemed. I cannot wait for this winter to be over.

Hamas released the bodies of four hostages Thursday, including what it said was the remains of a mother and her two young children, members of the Bibas family, whose story came to symbolize the brutality of the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks.

If you’ve never read any of the work Rob has done as part of his Coherence project I highly recommend it. It’s incredibly ambitious, warm, funny, erudite, and the writing is gorgeous.

At the rally at Stonewall to protest the erasure of Trans people - the rage and resolve here should be bottled and administered directly into our veins.

There are a lot of Nazis in the news these days but I wanted to make sure to stop for a second and say a very special fuck you to Kanye, because fuck that fucking Nazi, he deserves to get punched, de-platformed, and de-monetized like every last one of them

My deeply unpopular opinion rn is that we’re going to have to talk to and perhaps forgive a lot of people we absolutely don’t want to talk to and definitely not forgive in order to save ourselves and our kids from several generations of bitter acrimony, and quite possibly, violence in this country.

I 100% believe we need art joy creativity love and solidarity right now. Even if it feels unimportant to want to finds ways to get your work out into a world where so much feels like it’s in a state of collapse. We need your work. We need you.

It’s so easy to say it and they refused to just say that “it’s deeply tragic that so many people died in the crash, our condolences to all the families affected, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure this never happens again.” That’s the basic script for any leader in this situation.

I had a tough year placing new work, but it feels weird to say that because I also had a story appear in an anthology I love. It was my one publication this year, “Ghost Story,” in Best Microfiction 2024, originally published by Milk Candy Review. milkcandyreview.home.blog/2023/10/19/g...
