What the heck, have this one from HAD as well. I'm feeling self confident today.

Have a handful of new followers so I'm sharing this one again. I'm still proud of it, and hoping I'll have some new work to yell about soon!

HELLO were you looking for a lovely queer folktale poem because if so @kymdeyn.bsky.social has got you covered (confession: it's me I'm looking for lovely queer folktale poems)

hello yes HOT DAMN I am going to share Kym's original post so folks see it (threading isn't great on bsky) but wanted to comment here too since I discovered the piece through you. And again I say: HOT DAMN

I can but wanted to confirm! I try to keep anything AI generated out of my feed as much as possible so wanted to double check. Thanks!

Had a quick question! Was this graphic created with NotebookLM?

Lol I also immediately went downstairs to do dishes! Thank you so much for hosting and making space for those of us who have to sneak our writing in between all the little mundanities of life.

Poems are so good. Poets are so good. This space is so good! Couldn't be more delighted with this reading and more humbled by these writers.

Hey I'm gonna be here! Are you also missing AWP? Are you at AWP but don't want to miss out on all of us who are missing out? Come to NAWP!

Sick this works even better for me (I can get through the baby's entire bedtime routine). Come hear me read a mostly-finished love poem or some mom sadness or chronic illness stuff at NAWP!

@reveleth.com is a phenomenal writer and I so appreciate their attention, and the way the share that attention with us. This one was particularly lovely.

Ha ha oops the last time I watched this was before I had a daughter, oh no

two men standing next to each other with one saying " every day once a day give yourself a present .. " Alt: Dale Cooper and Harry Truman from Twin Peaks. Cooper tells Harry, "Every day, once a day, give yourself a present."

Yeah we're doing this.

Oh shit okay I know where I'm sending some pieces in June and I am EXCITED.

Now to figure out March! And...... all the other months ha ha

It helps, though. It helps to have something to look forward to, someplace to share art and uplift real human beauty and give voice to all the turmoil we're dealing with. Don't feel awful! You're doing a small part of the work of survival.

This one didn't make me cry but it is so, so, so terribly tender, I had to share it in the same spirit.

Tonight was one of those magnificent disasters classic to certain stages of parenthood. The kid bit someone at daycare, spent all night fussy and crying, then told us she had "poop troubles" and WOW did she ever!

And yet in the midst of it: a love poem.

I'm so lucky. I'm so damn lucky, every day.

Maybe I should just rewatch Twin Peaks. Maybe that would fix me.

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

The two genders.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

She's gonna have so many fun animal facts to annoy people with. 🥲

On the one hand we're doing more screens with the kid these days instead of more engaged parenting.

On the other hand, her current obsession is a compilation of clips from BBC documentaries about owls.

I have this one poem I think is legit fantastic and I would love to submit it somewhere but it needs the support of a *devastating* title and Oh No! As it turns out titles are hard!!!!

Today has been comically stupid and bad but!!!!! Hell yes!! A good thing!!!!!! AAAA

Update: it's doggy MRSA. We're doing three days of IV antibiotics and then another surgery. We're all pretty crushed and just hoping she'll be okay. Overall this will be ~4 months of treatment and recovery.

Ohhhh goodness I want to curl up in this one. Or bundle it up and cradle it. Can't decide.

yes of course I have a poem about this (I have a poem about everything)
