felt so inspired by a student's work that i wrote something along these lines in my comments on their poem:

We're gonna look back on this era and be so baffled and infuriated about how much time the media spent complaining about DEI trainings. Yes some of them are silly but overall, companies recruiting minorities and trying to create less hostile workplaces is good!

I want to try to imagine what my life could be like if there weren’t people forcing me to fight for it every day.

We're in a coup, which means we're in a nightmare, which means we're all ramped up, so let me offer you some deep time, perseverance, and beauty, before you and I go back to the work.

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America must be understood as a misinformation crisis.

I'm going to leave this incredible thread here because it's the only thing I'm trying to get across to first year writing student right now. I'm showing videos of Jon Batiste, offering RW Kimmerer and Ross Gay and prompts to explore process...and. I am failing. I'm struggling y'all. I'm not alone.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Or stay in the kitchen. Feel inexplicably trapped in the kitchen. Live with the heat and ignore the voices in the walls. Grow old in the kitchen. Leave your body and join the shadows in the kitchen. Whisper warnings to the next occupant.

When I need to understand connectivity and joy and surprise and creativity like for real, like of the body, I'll watch Jon Batiste do literally anything. Thought you might need this today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUIj...

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

This event, listening to Tierra Curry, revived my need to focus teaching and community work on how to connect with this earth, each other, what we love. I said to my students a few weeks ago: if we don't love this life and all its connectivity, then we won't fight for it. We fight for what we love.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

I've been reading (and watching) spec fic, sci fi, and dystopian novels/stories since I was a kid, and I only recently, after a few years of going deep into this reading that I love, realized that ... it's what I want to write? Next? And like ... I am having fun writing ... for the first time? Fun?!

"There should be room for those conversations" — OK but why isn't there room for pointing out that it's a moral panic utterly devoid of evidence

Sometimes as a writer you see things a little too clearly. You see the future. You see around corners. You see parts of people they'd rather not reveal.

I edited How High during lockdown and through the deaths of both of my father and grandmother. That book (and oddly virtual reality fishing) was the only thing keeping me together. Writing through chaos gave me a conduit to “talk to” and puzzle together a future when I was otherwise silent.

A very important and helpful story worth reading though to the end.

I don’t have to fend off the desire to comply in advance. Anyone who knows me knows that, fortunately or unfortunately, I would rather die than let someone I don’t respect tell me what to do.

How I feel lately each time I revise and hone my little poetry ms. Yes, this is about my late father, and home, and sorrow. Yes, still. We live and carry griefs under it all, I suppose.

Literally had a student in my office tell me a story about doing this with her bf's mom and the cost of deportation, yesterday. The woman was shocked, in a diner in rural Va., Fox News blaring behind them.

I guess my overarching point is that there really is a role for everyone in a vibrant protest movement. Everyone has a skill or role that is needed. Find a group, find what they need that you can do, and fill that niche. You don't have to run the whole thing.

As usual, but more than ever, I'm constantly pulled between staying aware/knowing what's going on while also logging off and living fully -- then chatting with otherwise great smart people who are overwhelmed and unaware, more checked out than ever and it makes me a new kind of worried. New. More.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.
