Truly the Sophie’s choice of lesbian packing: chacos or birks. #impossiblechoices #nocheckedbags
I read some poems at the computer and here they are! 10-minute feature with Marty McConnell fb.watch/m2k6WR6rBN/ via @FacebookWatch
Reconnect with your WONDER this September! wetravel.com/trips/wonder-i…
I don't know how people survive without a morning routine. I make sure to begin with a rigorous 15 minutes of non-specific but agonizing worry, at least 7 minutes of existential dread, and a quick stretch of worst-case scenarios to close. Ready for the day!
I don't often have to set difficult boundaries with others, but when I do I'm definitely going to let worrying about it consume my thoughts for at least 48 hours before and after.
thinking about making a poetry manuscript that is just erasures of high drama poems I wrote as an adolescent and calling it ebracesure
💫 Very excited to share this interview in @parisreview about Trace Evidence (@Tin_House)! An honor to have had the chance—and a real joy that I got to do it with dear friend @morganapple. Enjoy! 🧚🏽♂️ theparisreview.org/blog/2023/06/0…
It feels good to be kind. I think we forget that sometimes. I know I do. But then I choose kindness, I feel good, they feel good, the world keeps on spinning. Huzzah. Amen. Yes.
I’m always blown away by the assholes who can’t get behind people switching up their pronouns. Like, pronouns are a construct??? The Korean language doesn’t even HAVE she/her he/him gendered pronouns. We just say “that person” for everyone. And this isn’t even a joke 😭
year and a half into the pandemic and my outfit options are now pajamas, yoga clothes, and oh wow, sequins on a Thursday?
shout out to the Amazon delivery person treating our whole block to a Rihanna throwback set while making day before Thanksgiving deliveries. I salute you with my gluten-free beer and wish you sweeter work in the new world to come.
idk when this became my life/body but I just ate a single not large gluten free M&M cookie and my heart is trying to escape from my chest with panicked haste
why download an app to track my period when I could just wait until I hate the sound and feeling of air
Signup for the workshop led by @martyoutloud here: eventbrite.com/e/chicago-poet…
me: Great! Anytime tomorrow between 11 and 5 central is good. them: I'm flexible. me: <sends calendar invite for noon> them: Can you do 10 a.m.? I'm booked at noon. me: Sorry, turns out I'm going to be busy RUNNING SCREAMING INTO THE ABYSS all day instead.
my entire love language is now just "there's not much on our agenda for today"
the absolute delight of a day with only one meeting
are you normal or do you parent yourself thru the work day? just said out loud TO MYSELF "OK we're gonna star this email, go poop, make some more tea, and then finish the report."
just had a very real and true urge to put rum into my bone broth in order to get through these Friday afternoon meetings with some semblance of charm

Y’all I am in a situation where I just wrote a poem And I wanna read it to somebody But it’s 6:20 in the morning And all my friends who i subject these kind of actions to still sleep I haven’t slept cuz I been writing this poem since last night It was like making love
@martyoutloud This added an excellent laugh to my morning!

Meant to go to the library. Ended up thinking about where to put a greenhouse.
Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Lit Mags: Flux. Flow. Movement. Fluidity. What watery conjuring occurs when language attempts to express the inexpressible? What are the poetics of movement and osmosis? How do we cross the squishy fabric of self and melt into each other?
This east coast air is like a blanket of thick splinters met a vodka hangover. Fell asleep briefly. Woke up to a raging headache, piercing cough, and regret.
Pat Robertson’s dead, Trump has been indicted for a 2nd time…it’s honestly such a slay when God plays Game of Thrones with my enemies
I have some good news to share with the world... I made a strawberry and peach cobbler and it is delicious.
I woke up feeling full of love and want to share it with you. If nobody tells you today, you are loved. Seriously, you are a formidable and worthy light in this world. Thank you for all you do—seen and unseen.
I’m always blown away by the assholes who can’t get behind people switching up their pronouns. Like, pronouns are a construct??? The Korean language doesn’t even HAVE she/her he/him gendered pronouns. We just say “that person” for everyone. And this isn’t even a joke 😭
I'm an editor of a literary magazine run on no budget by 3 people with day jobs. When our paid work consumes us, the magazine hibernates. I'm hoping it will yawn, stretch, & wake up this spring. But the thing is, editorial time is not free. It is stolen from work/writing/rest
You don’t have to be rich to start a literary magazine. You do need to find a group of people to do it with that make it worth it, and figure out the parameters and ethos that fits with your taste, aesthetic, and ethics. Then like, you do need to be able to afford web hosting
the way @martyoutloud put these words together?! 🤌🏾
Reminder that Brett Kavanaugh *still* remains credibly accused of sexual assault on multiple accounts w/ corroborated details & this year the FBI admitted it never fully investigated. Yet the court is letting him decide on whether to legalize forced birth in the US. No recusal.
