Are Republicans going to fix hurricane season by just not believing in it? 🥴 I'm so concerned about how this is going to go and I don't even live in a hurricane zone. We don't deserve this incompetence 😖

“Staff of FEMA were left baffled on Monday after the head of the U.S. disaster agency said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season” www.reuters.com/world/us/fem...

George Floyd should be alive today. He should be raising his daughter, living his life. 5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags. His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.” Let’s stop failing her, and him. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

I can't find the words for how evil this is

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

Thank you so much @cincinnatireview.bsky.social and @lisaampleman.bsky.social for sharing this with your readers. We need art as much as ever--this is about the littlest artist I know 💕

An essay by contributor @cdonosowriter.bsky.social (Cristi Donoso) on encouraging her son's creativity: "I take it as a sacred duty to create the necessary conditions for his art to exist, for nurturing his creative life, whatever form that will take." Link in thread:

I'm sure Warner got an influx of calls yesterday (including mine) and he moved to NO. Called Schumer this morning. Keep the pressure on

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social · last yr.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

So there go the midterms? I'm so deeply sad

Art 🤝🏽 Accessibility Few things make me happier

The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.

But is menswear guy going to tell us what's happening with Tom Brady's pants 🙃

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Into the abyss, I say: I don't know how to go on as normal in this world. I will go on, but the brokenness and evil is staggering. My heart is with everyone hurting right now, in Gaza, in Ukraine, in places where our abuse of the earth is making itself apparent 💔

Grateful to Waxwing for including three of my poems in their current issue 🪽 waxwingmag.org/items/issue3...

THEN we compost it! Curbside composting is amazing and every city should have it 🙂 It's the opinion I'm most annoying about

We DO NOT throw perfectly good food away in this house. We put leftovers in a Tupperware & let it go bad, THEN throw it out!

Thank you @cincinnatireview.bsky.social for making this my first short story in print and to @lisaampleman.bsky.social for your patient editing. Absolutely amazing to hold this in my hands 💌

Anyone else dealing with the fall of democracy by staying up until you're so exhausted you can't stay awake anymore or do I need adult supervision 🫠

I really really really need bookmarks in here 🤞🏼

Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

A barista made me this a couple of days after the election. Whoever they are, they deserve the world 🥲

I have a story about how women are taught to love while men are taught to be loved coming out in @cincinnatireview.bsky.social this month. Feminist art may not save us but we won't stop making it 💔 #WritingCommunity
