"Come out, come
out, as they really are — come out with their hoods
between their legs."

We've been on hiatus lately; we hope to return soon. In the meanwhile, this poem we published in 2017 by the amazing @amyshimshon feels very appropriate for today. https://t.co/T2r7O2Sg32

"when you feed
Yourself, let it be a communion
With the heron who lands
In the ash tree."

Our reader @AndreaAutenArts had her essay "The Takers" reprinted in @LadyLibertyLit:

"My town erased Beth. We planted a tree in a far corner of the school. The funeral was moderately attended, held downtown. Students got pizza afterward."

"We have to learn to hope/like that. We have to embrace the fearlessness of whistle-/blowers who exhale a sigh for all to wake up, stop, consider//the implication of what we do each day." We're grateful for whistleblowers and for @lisacheby's timely poem ❤️https://t.co/eglkWwdaTW

"Ms. A, can you tell us why you’re so afraid of masks?

When you get through high school, college, or trade school, and get out into the world, pursuing who you’ve practiced to become, I will tell you." Thank you for telling us, @andreaauten https://t.co/OpHknUMf5B
