Why is my only choice to ignore my own in fear and reality in order to have a relationship with the Trump voters in my family, my son's parents and grandparents. Why is it me who has to partition myself so that they can see their grandchild? Exhausting.

Hey, fellow Massachusettans: if you haven't called Gov. Healey (and your local reps) yet, take 5 min and do so today. Alleged ICE is violently taking people off the streets in our state, without warrants. That makes ALL of us less safe. Numbers and script below 👇

I think you know the type, the persona. You've seen the comment. But what it would take to explain to someone short-sighted what they cannot see is too much. And you let em go. You're too tired.

Learn yourself. Bed worker? Desk worker? Noisy busy #cafe? Pindrop #library? Favorite album? Lofi chillhop 24/7 study beats? Vomit draft? Outliner? Give your future self the gift of process? or set little traps for yourself with the feeling of relief as bait? Learn your #process. #craft #writing

I hope you love something beautiful and meaningless. For me, it's football. I don't care what it is for you, but I wish you a deep love for something that means nothing until you give it meaning through your attention.

Don't look up. Don't count the butterflies. Don't count honey bees. The ecological reminder of the circle-of-life, the warning, the crash course on the food chain--- will begin with the crash. Today's poem: 'No Bees; No Clover' tinyurl.com/bu4hs7uu #poetry #poemsky #gardening #writing #ecology

I once imagined myself a love poet, a lyrical, economy of language type. Like Whitman's 'Glimpse', I wanted to bottle something small and give it attention and that attention breathes praise. Today's poem: "Single Rose French Toast" tinyurl.com/u5bjws65 #lovepoems #poetry #lyricpoetry #amwriting

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 5: Much of writing is memory. Memory of places, of feelings, of dreams, of experience, of sensations. Anything you can do to enhance your memory can help you as a writer: keeping notebooks, diaries, being conscious of life as it unfolds; noticing details. Remembering.
