[Deaf Poets Society @thedeafpoets]

Hello, supporters of The Deaf Poets Society! We have been really quiet over here—too quiet, we have to admit. This is our official announcement that we are on hiatus. We ARE coming back, but we just don't know when. In solidarity, The Deaf Poets Society team

[Meghan O'Rourke meghanor.bsky.social @meghanor]

just gonna say it once, but listening to my 5 y o cough for minutes on end before crying and telling me, "I don't like how it feels" seven days into COVID is no fun. This is not mild for all kids, let alone adults.

[Arianna Huffington @ariannahuff]

So, to sum up the Supreme Court’s week: life begins at conception and ends in a mass shooting.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

[Emily Krebs @EmilyKrebs6]

Can’t mandate masks but you can mandate pregnancy. What a country.

Thisssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ilya Kaminsky @ilya_poet]

In Odessa, a city full of sandbags and anti tank devices, a city awaiting invasion, afraid, there were many men in the streets yesterday, March 8, international women’s day, buying flowers and hurrying to bring them home.

Don’t forget this.

Realize the scale of Ukrainian heroism.

[Jillian Smith @Jillian_nSmith]

Grabbing a drink at a bar. Guy next to me starts talking to the bartender about Ukraine. I’m bored, so I listen. He pauses, turns, smiles at me and says, “You’re so pretty, you probably have no idea what I’m talking about, do you?”

It did not end well for him.

[Ilya Kaminsky @ilya_poet]

Thanks for the kindness, folks. An update: heard from my cousin in Odessa & he's afraid but safe. Haven't heard from uncle yet.

Meanwhile, here's Zoom conversation of the day:

--There are explosions outside, the windows tremble
[silence]
--Don't stand too close to the windows

[Dr. Mama (aka Julia Kolchinsky) @jkolchpoetry]

The news is unbearable. Bombs fall on my birthplace. Tanks roll across her borders. I'm here, safe, behind a screen. I'm turning, helplessly, to poetry. It's not enough. It's all I have. Grateful @ilya_poet penned these words. They sing me back through sleeplessness...

"Without data, though, there is no way to measure and understand what is happening to people with disabilities, and therefore no evidence to inform policy for this population."

Thisssssssssssssssssssssss! 1000% is on my mind.

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

I think of the people who cannot flee. Disabled and ill people. Women who are heavily pregnant or with newborns. People with no money. A horror unfolding on our small screens, but as much, we should think about all those hidden away that we cannot see.

If you're not livid, you're not listening.

[Washington Examiner @dcexaminer]

Hundreds of casualties have been reported so far after roughly 100 Russian missiles from both land and sea were launched into Ukraine on Thursday morning local time.
