Having doubts? Stop. Write a few words at a time. Write. One sentence. A few lines at a red light. For real. A page when the kids are at school. A page on lunch break. That's all it takes. Poetry happens in the seams of life.

Cis people: I need you to understand (and help others understand) that “the trans debate” is NOT relevant “to only a small number of people” but to everyone. Thread below for why:

They just said on the news “Fortunately because of Covid we didn’t have school shootings. We had a bit of a hiatus.”

1 million Americans died from Covid. Including my dad.

This is a dystopia. We live in a country where mass slaughter is somehow part of the American Dream?
