@MathiasSvalina Thank you Mathias.

A great Irish poet and singer left us today.

She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time.

Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor.

Rest easy Sinéad.

"What I'm hoping is, 10 years from now, a young Puerto Rican poet on the island or somewhere else knows that this is a possibility—that living a life with & through poetry is an honorable way of engaging with the world" —New @POETSorg pres. Ricky Maldonado https://t.co/u34IrUIjax

#ThroughHerEyes
Hollywood strikers might take inspiration from Mary Manning, the Dunne's Stores worker who protested against apartheid by refusing to handle South African grapefruit #otd in 1984. She was suspended and 9 co-workers went on strike. They held out for *two* years
