"It was still during the early years of flooding when I began to develop phantom protuberances. What a disorienting time." -- from "Sweet Potatoes," by Helen Hofling (featuring a bonus appearance by Emma Goldman!)

"Emma Goldman has been reconstituted by the advanced science of anarchists of the future living on Mars from an ancient can of Manischewitz chicken soup." from Lorraine Schein's "Emma Goldman on Mars," today's #RevolutionaryThing https://t.co/4FTf62Ps25

Hear Ye! "Queen Elizabeth still exists in the Appalachian Mountains," but perhaps not in the form you'd expect. Read Gregory Ariail's "Queen Elizabeth as Fungus," a revolution of bodily form, here: https://t.co/8ZwzAlXOWc

Today's Revolutionary Thing features the revolution of time and of everyday objects (and a certain utensil in particular!).
From @bpladek's "Spoon": "I was the second object the princess touched when she gained the gift to enliven dead things..."

Today, the revolution begins.

"Foment" by Susannah Russell:

"The blow came unseen, / an invisible fist / shattering my jaw. / I spat my teeth into the dusk."
