@JasonIsbell The law is ridiculous, but the “makeup clause” is embedded in enough anti-drag language that it probably won’t apply more generally. Still, selective prosecution (of, say, a trans rocker) is always a terrifying prospect.

Scrimmage of Appetite has been out of print for almost 20 years. I’ve decided to make it available here. https://t.co/B65Zsx2u27

But seriously, it’s time to nominate Liz Cheney for speaker of the house. It’s within the rules and she can win.

@RitchieTorres Time to nominate Liz Cheney!

@itsameowen @theeddiedavis @JasonIsbell There was a charming young fellow named Fart
Who thought an umlaut would make him seem smart
So he dropped those two dowels
On the offending vowel
And thus made a fairt of his fart.

When you have almost no followers, posting on Twitter is like confiding to your therapist.

Has there ever been a case in which “no offense” meant no offense?

[Chuck Calabreze @ChuckCalabreze]

@danirosepoet @librarythingtim Sorry. That was not about Maine or driving.

[Chuck Calabreze @ChuckCalabreze]

@danirosepoet @librarythingtim And then at some point someone says, “Do the research” as if they, themselves, have done that research and are withholding the results because, I don’t know, Twitter?

@mdbell79 Wait We’re finding One Hundred Years of Solitude and A Hitchhiker’s Guide to be, on the whole, about the same quality? Hold on, I need to check my digital watch.

@swmeador @JasonIsbell @amandashires Hmmm. Maybe “beast of burden”?

@rebeccalehmann @madsleuth To be meaningful, discussions of class and class struggle must reckon also with race and racism.

[Chuck Calabreze @ChuckCalabreze]

@rebeccalehmann @madsleuth There's another reason: Discussing class and class struggle is often seen as shifting the discourse away from race and racism. This is why BLM protesters critiqued Bernie's "class struggle" approach.

[Chuck Calabreze @ChuckCalabreze]

@rebeccalehmann @madsleuth Meanwhile, Marxists contend that those in power encourage racial divisions to undermine class solidarity, so they actually do want to shift the discourse.

In Choose Your Own America, his thirteenth collection, but the first to include his short fables, Jon Davis casts a cold eye on our moment, revealing our fatuousness and our nobility both.

Poetry is commerce the way a lemonade stand is commerce.

@asenap Thanks for helping me sort through the 657 versions I've heard. But what about this cat? https://t.co/cZJCrFbKH0
