I am the blazer! Check out my book of poems, the GAFFER, from Arktoi Books/Red Hen Press, coming March 2015.

@PatrickMcEnroe @RafaelNadal @rolandgarros So agree! I wish for the old days when a player’s performance on a particular surface was factored in.

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@ezraklein - would love to see an exploration of how the long, slow downgrade of the American educational system has contributed to our present moment of so many believing untruths. Has anyone addressed this on any platform?

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@marysdesk - love What’s Next but find the Ore-Ida ads just wrong. No food company should be promoting tater tots as healthy “rewards” for children. Get rid of their outdated and harmful sponsorship. Please!

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@CincyTennis - why don’t I see any spectators wearing masks? Why no social distancing? Why are ballkids handling the players sweaty towels?!? I thought stringent safety protocols were in place...

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@usta @TennisChannel @serenawilliams @Venuseswilliams @Chanda_Rubin what's with Mouratoglou not wearing a mask in the stands? Especially after the commentator telling us that he had to take four flights to reach Lexington from Nice!

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@torreyhart What's with Moratoglou not wearing a mask in the stands?!? Especially after the commentator announced he had to take four flights to reach Lexington from Nice. Crazy.

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@TennisChannel @Venuseswilliams Yes, Venus is looking great but can you tell the commentator (Leif Shiras???) to cut back on the useless words. Good tennis speaks for itself.

@elainaplott Wish more reporters would directly address the racism and misogyny in questioning Abrams "experience" for VP and POTUS-in waiting. Where was the hand-wringing for Trump's lack of experience? She is better prepared and more responsible than most of our current elected leaders.

@ProudResister @ewarren Elizabeth! Come to Pittsburgh!!! Western PA needs to hear from you in the flesh!

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@MariposaBoy I don't know about anybody else, but something smells very rotten in AWPland and has been for awhile...this latest is disturbing news for sure...

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@voxdotcom @ezraklein @mattyglesias so agree that the structure/moderation of the second debate by CNN sucked big time. I too do not remember previous debate structures being as intrusive. Who decides the structure? Does the DNC have any input?

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@TennisPodcast @tennispodcast: TG Sam Sumyk is gone! Next step for @GarbiMuguruza ? Hire Carlos Rodriguez! If he could take @Justine_Henin and Li Na to the top, why not Muguruza? All three players have a great deal in common. Carlos is the man for the job!

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@TennisPodcast Re @GarbiMuguruza TG #samsumyk is gone! Next step? Hire Carlos Rodriguez! If he could coach @Justine_Henin and Li Na to the top and handle their mercurial personalities he can do so for Muguruza. She needs Carlos!

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@breadincast @politico It's obvious! Trump is afraid of a free press. To him, if it's not his propaganda, it's not news.

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@chrislhayes - regarding your pod with @KAnthonyAppiah if you can use words like élan and erudition and pronounce them correctly, then you should be able to pronounce the word "contretemps"properly. Go google its pronunciation. Other than that I'm a fan and subscribe to your pod

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

@marysdesk - listened to your podcast on third party candidates. never mentioned Ralph Nader once! His 6% in 2000 really put Bush in the White House. Prez elections are so much closer these days, Schultz could be a toxic spoiler.

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]

Am crazy for these poems by @LitAppetite up on Hobart today. Can't wait for the new book that contains them!

Tears, tears and more tears!

[James Corden @JKCorden]

Holy shit. This commercial.

[Celeste Gainey @thegaffer2015]
