This kind of click bait. On this platform? I respect it.

"Sometimes it’s fiction, sometimes it’s nonfiction, but overall, it’s just the story that needs to happen, that needs to come out of me. So I was far more concerned about, like, is this good?" @marcussomething on Prince, the woke mind virus, and "¡PÓNK!" https://t.co/b9bPjcWTcA

don't donate to anymore politicians. or the women's march. donate to local mask blocs. donate to local mutual aid orgs. donate to abortion funds. the dems raised $1 billion for this campaign & it's all gone now. put your $ where it's truly needed.

Over a decade ago, I wrote a story at @antiochmfa and @KateMaruyama told me it should be a YA novel. Now it is! Thanks to the wonderful humans at @InlandiaInst you can pre-order Breaking Pattern with this link now. https://t.co/lMd2k6xQVu

Let the words wash over you. Because if this is the public statement, the reality for the two million civilians, half of whom are children, that live in the prison that is Gaza is one million times worse.

As a Jew, I used to say the same “atrocities on both sides” garbage that I hear today. In many ways, I didn’t want to put in the actual work that might contradict that cowardly statement. There aren’t 2 sides to Israeli Apartheid — you just suck at math #FreePalestine

[Danez @Danez_Smif]

The constant stream of violence, the inventive and grotesque cruelty Israel commits, but everyone is “shocked” today. And they say “we are at war” with no irony of them being the aggressive and oppressive engineers of that war. Hm. Free Palestine.

Thanks to @Poetry_Daily for featuring this poem from Temporal Anomalies!

I went to a @soulglophl and @zululosangeles show and wrote a tiny thing!!

Back here briefly to say, “check out my fiction piece over at Joyland — edited by @stayathometom! if nothing else, admire the amazing balisong x butterfly artwork they found….THEN read it.”

[Joyland Publishing @JoylandPub]

“Every time Moose heard the slur thrown at him, it usually came from El Paisa’s mouth, a symptom of the false comfort of knowing a single Black person: access to the word without repercussions.” —from ‘Ballads and Balisongs’ by Marcus Clayton

Order from @spdbooks: https://t.co/v2nibDzBek

[Matt Broaddus @MattBroaddus]

It’s Temporal Anomalies Day! So grateful to @RicochetEds for bringing my first full length book of poems into the world. Thanks to my friends, family, and the community that has supported me! We did it!

[Matt Broaddus @MattBroaddus]

T-minus 10 days until my first book! Pre-order a copy! Ask your library to order a copy! Give one to the moon goddess who lives on your space station! 🚀🛸👍🏽 Thx!

[JER the Artist (They/Them) @Skatunenetwork]

If you torrented/downloaded full records or discographies and took the time to manually add high quality album art work to your songs before importing them on your iPod, you now are a person who listens to records front to back. Or neurodivergent idk

[Matt Broaddus @MattBroaddus]

My first book comes out in a month. (!!!)

If you’ve already ordered a copy, thank you!!

It’s available from SPD (link in bio). Since I’m a public library worker, I’d be very grateful if you asked your local library to order a copy. Most libraries have a title request form. Thx!

[Matt Broaddus @MattBroaddus]

Today seems like a good day to remind you that you can pre-order my first book of poems from SPD. Polar bears, desert gnomes, and Žižek all make appearances! If you’ve already pre-ordered(❤️ thank you!), why not ask your local library to order a copy? 🚀🛸👍🏽
