Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, itโ€™s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, Iโ€™m sorry and also welcome.

We live in an ABUNDANCE of incredible poetry booksโ€”my god, this year alone. Despite shoe string arts budgets and cancelled NEA funding and so much scarcity, American poetry LIVESโ€”and does so largely through VERY small and micro presses.

Over 91% of Clients in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Reach Undetectable Status New data confirm Ryan Whiteโ€™s successโ€”undetectable equals untransmittable (and healthier)โ€”but GOP leaders want to slash these HIV funds.

A greyscale cartoon of a movie promo poster featuring woman wearing a long scarf, ear muffs, a jumper, mini skirt and heels walking through snow holding a phone, handbag and a coffee, looking up at a heart that contains a bearded smiling man. The text around the image reads:

SHE is a single, high-flying journalist writer baker living in the hustle and bustle of New York city who inherits a Christmas tree farm bakery hotel from her dead great-aunt in her tiny rural hometown and must choose between a promotion in the big city or writing that novel she's always dreamed of while opening her own bakery in Little Town, Vermont and also running a beloved local Christmas tree farm or something, I don't know.

HE is a wholesome country boy she used to date when she was 16, with a heart of gold who has never left Little Town and says things like "You city folk", has never seen a mobile phone before and thinks Wi-Fi is witchcraft - he's handsome but in a non-threatening way, and gosh darn it he loves that damn Christmas tree farm and won't let those suits build a mall on it.

Together they find true love - and themselves - in...

Happy Winter Solstice!

Itโ€™s the โ€œseason of love and givingโ€โ€ฆbut this year, doesnโ€™t it seem more like a โ€œseason of fear and takingโ€? Like many of you, Iโ€™ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Yesterday my mom (85) expressed concern that the drink flavor packets she picked up have some sugar in them. It's so depressing to hear a woman who doesn't even eat or drink enough worrying about 10 calories. Diet culture is a MFer.

This particular caravan of federal agents may have left, for now, but we still have work to do to create a state where everyone can live freely, with dignity and without fear. Join us tomorrow at 6 PM in Charlotte and Raleigh. Stay posted for next steps at defendandrecruit.org/nc

We should all be clear that this administration and national elite are absolutely determined to make sure that moral action and intellectual rigor are economically and socially penalized.

Their goal is to make traditional "success" literally inaccessible to moral and intellectually-engaged people.

On Repentance and Repair by Danya Ruttenberg: 9780807013311 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books Winner NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARDS in Contemporary Jewish Life & Practice Myra H. Kraft Memorial Award A crucial new lens on repentance, atonement, forgiveness, and repair from harmโ€”from personal...

Oh, & the ebook of ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR is still only $2.99 on all platforms! This is the time!

It applies an ancient moral framework for accountability for harm to not only healing the harm we cause in our own lives (we're all people, we all *do*) but to institutional, systemic, national harm:

Deleting an article is not the same as a journalistic retraction and apology. WSJ and every other publication that ran with this nonsense without any fact checking and put trans folks at real risk need to run apologies.

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

I know the problems feel big.

I know you feel like nothing you can do will ever be enough.

Youโ€™re right. It wonโ€™t be.

Thatโ€™s why we work together.

"peaceful protests don't do anything" I hear some of you saying. They show the world that the people are not OK with what is happening. Trump does not have some overwhelming mandate

And thousands of people are getting used to saying no, loudly, on a Saturday afternoon

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

My early thoughts on the Anthropic settlement:
a) good, fucking pay us
b) no, thatโ€™s not enough
c) shouldnโ€™t have stolen our shit to train your stupid mediocre plagiarism artbarf robot in the first place, you fuckers
d) this isnโ€™t something to celebrate; it is a Pyrrhic victory at best
