The New York Times Magazine announced today that it is ending its poetry column after nine years. One more of the 1000-plus cuts trying to kill the poetic imagination. Shame on you. @nytimes @nytimesbooks

Then there's the water.

The local aquifer is already over-appropriated by 75,955.79 acre feet. "They’re going to be pumping from a groundwater basin over-allocated on paper and teetering on the brink of not being able to provide for future generations," @KyleRoerink1 told me.

[Kyle Roerink @KyleRoerink1]

California groundwater law is the worst in the west. Don’t blame carrots for this failure. Blame lawmakers and regulators who ignore the public interest.

We need stronger curtailment provisions in every state

In California’s Cuyama Valley, corporate farms are soaking up large quantities of water growing carrots. When the companies sued over water, the community decided to fight back with a boycott. https://t.co/haYrbMWeRI

Happy birthday to Wanda Coleman, who remains iconic to this particular iconoclast— and whose “Grand Canyon of a new manhood” is still unmatched.

For decades, water has been siphoned from springs in a national forest to be sold as Arrowhead bottled water. After a years-long fight, California water regulators have ruled that the company must stop taking millions of gallons through its pipelines. https://t.co/0rgRDgMNdp

Maybe get the Virgin River water rights?
