A colleague just edited our document by putting periods at the end of each heading and now I can't even look at it.

Elizabeth Warren is that woman who impresses at her job interview with brilliant plans that they then take and give to the middle aged white guy they hire instead of her, a guy who ends up executing said plans with all mediocrity possible while getting lauded as a hero.

There is a particular flavor of desolation I feel when I catch a glimpse through the window of someone living their life without anything on their walls.

This seems like a good time to rewatch Mad Max: Fury Road. #savethebreeders

[Carolyn Petit @carolynmichelle]

it's really, really strange, and sometimes scary, and sometimes infuriating, and sometimes exhausting, knowing that you doing nothing more than trying to live your life absolutely outrages so many people you don't even know.

I can’t bear the loss of Bell Hooks. I was certain she would be with us for another two decades because death wouldn’t dare. I’m so sad today. Damn it.

I didn’t think it was possible to become more pro-choice than I already was, but after 7 months of pregnancy all I can think about is how wrong it would be to make someone do this who doesn’t want to.

Just got back from a productive week of poetry, fellowship and family reunion at Napa Valley Writer's Conference. Grateful to the organizers for making a comfortable and safe environment for responsible literary elbow rubbing! #nvwc2021

I think @r_erica_doyle just might be my favorite #PoemADay editor of all time. Every day, a little morsel of astonishment in my inbox. Bliss.

New poem out in the latest "Preserves" themed issue of @AmpleRemains. This is a newish journal with loads of bright, fresh energy. I loved this inspired theme, and I thought "Art Thief" would be perfect for it. Grateful they agreed! https://t.co/faU2cE23mx

I see every rejection as a celebration of having tried.

It has been pointed out to me that people who use the Garamond font are self-important. I puff out my chest and raise my chin and say unto ye "Me! Me!"

Sometimes I have to lie to make a poem more true.

Carmen Giménez Smith on @Vsthepodcast. I listened to it twice. Such a good interview!

I'll be reading briefly with other contributors at OyeDrum's Volume 4 launch party this Saturday. Should be a good time!
