@natallman This one by @heatherjuneg.

I felt like she was describing an exact specific day of my life. This is a poem of my own memory, in neither harm nor relief. I found it astonishing.

@motleybookshelf Congratulations! And I so love the Agnes Martin room. It's like a chapel.

In America, you can be teargassed and shot with rubber bullets for peacefully protesting in front of a church.

But you can literally bust down the doors to the United States Capitol and stroll around while police officers watch.

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

The President of the United States of America stood up in front of these people, incited them to riot, and directed them to attack the US Capitol.

@matthewzapruder “Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones, then covered by Cat Power. Her choice to cut the iconic chorus altogether is pretty brilliant. Totally turns the song (to be poetry nerdy about it).

@chrisarnold I thought you were got in to say he moved in there.

[Heather June Gibbons @heatherjuneg]

@chrisarnold Yep, living the dream.

@marcelo_H_ Hiking has really saved me this year. There’s something about it now in particular that feels healing to me, or at least some escape that’s not an unhealthy escape. Gorgeous tree. Hope you’re well. 😘

@mdbell79 Self-soothing plus doom is my favorite song, aside from gloom and crunch, snack and sob, and who cares about junk food in a global pandemic
