In my experience many people need to hear this:

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Congaree Land Trust because you can't grow back history that's been built up over long time. #MidlandsGives2026 #conservation

The South Carolina Philharmonic, because music predates language. Plus, the Phil brings people to the music, and music to the people. #MidlandsGives2026 #artsforall #classical

Columbia Marionette Theater for being the best place in Columbia for children's first exposures to the arts! #MidlandsGives2026 #puppets

not my mood

ChatGPT, which usually responds to queries with third-person narration or second-person direct address, just used the first person in responding to me. It says it evaluated incorrectly the first time. I'm a bit creeped out TBH. #AI #technology #stillnotsentient

I love that there was a string octet accompanying #Coco for "Lift Every Voice and Sing" at #SuperbowlLX #classicalmusic

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

The end of the year is an appropriate time for reflection, including pondering how years roll out while one pores over a newspaper- or doesn't. You can do that with my book, No Paper Today, available here: #https://a.co/d/11w4xT1 #books #NewYear #poetry

Overwhelmed by holiday shopping and online extravaganzas and still need gifts? My new book on the joy of morning newspapers, "No Paper Today," may offer a moment of respite and contemplation. Available here: a.co/d/11w4xT1 #reading #poetry @wsj.com

I know chapbooks aren't normal public library fare, so I'm thrilled that Richland County Public Library in SC has my book, No Paper Today, available to lend. #poetry #newspapers #ColumbiaSC

It's Cyber Monday- the perfect time to buy my new book, No Paper Today, that celebrates the value of ink, paper, and the daily newspaper! 😉 Available here: a.co/d/11w4xT1 #reading #poetry @edusky.bsky.social
