We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Heritage has a DOGE survey Liberals should definitely not fill out the way they would fill out. Do not go and use a fake name and a bogus email address to hide your identity. That would ruin the survey results & be such a shame if the results were skewed secured.heritage.org/the-doge-sur...

My inner Joker is seeping through. At this point I legitimately want them to just take everything from everyone. Just do it. Stop playing these silly games and do what they want to do! Maybe then we'll do more than roll over and lube our backsides up for them.

When a country demands natural resources in return for being saved, you were never a fucking savior; you're a damn scavenger.

My childhood home was filled with the sounds of Genesis, Phil Collins, Ricky Nelson, and Juice Newton. I didn't even know who The Beatles or Stones were til I was an adult. Probably explains why I love Hanson and Rufio

New poetry collection from Ibe Liebenberg from Texas Tech University Press is fantastically beautiful. Accessible yet complex. Short poems that manage to grab and release at the same time.

Seeking men's bar soap... Why do no soaps say what they smell like?! And if they do it's "whiskey and bad choices", "pinsol", or "who cares, you don't actually shower anyway"?!?

One of the strangest parts to allowing my mother back into my life is the treasure trove of info about my grandparents. They were so loving. Secretive but loving. I'm grateful. This is my grandpa's lieutenant badge & hat when he was a volunteer firefighter in our town before I was born

Yeah. This polisci guy is about done. So what's next? How do we fight this? Protest? Don't think that has quite the same ring to it

Angelo Mao's Abattoir is a great collection of poetry, but not for the squeamish... And I'm not squeamish.

I'm officially the poet I thumbed my nose at: old white MFA poet in a flat cap writing sarcastic poetry with a self righteous sense of self.

Some 60+ years later Tadeusz Rozewicz's poem still speaks volumes. Practice simple sabotage. Don't let the brain drain from our govt into the hands of capitalists continue

Only took me 11 years but I finally hear the iambic pentameter in poetry. 11 years! I couldn't hear it unless someone read the poem all singsongy like they do for Shakespeare

Kiddo came home twitterpated w/ their 1st BOYfriend. As papa bear I have an obligation to put the fear of God into him. I'm not that kinda guy, so our chat will be more lighthearted... But that moment of fear before I speak will be entertaining enough. He's a good kid.

Z asked if they could bring a copy of my poem about them to school for their creative writing class. And I found myself qualifying it as a performance poem. Dang artist brain! It's a good poem either way!... I say this as I quickly edit it for the masses and remove the one curse word lol
