I get through every single day without using so-called "AI." God knows the silicon valley machine makes it hard, inserting fkn buttons everywhere to trick us into clicking them, but I'm getting good at dodging. (Is this a sign of good tech? When users are running from it? 🤔)

As St. Paul pushes forward with plans to clear encampments, I want to lift up the words of Rep. Finke. "Let us see our neighbors for who they are, see their needs as the same as our own and solve them hand in hand." We all deserve safe and healthy communities. Including our unhoused neighbors.
Rep. Leigh Finke@leighfinke.bsky.social · last wk.“This year Minnesota showed the nation what it means to protect our neighbors in their time of need. Let’s offer that same love and hospitality and care for our unhoused neighbors.”
once, a close friend told me if you know the color of their eyes it’s already too late 💙✨💞 my debut full-length poetry collection, coming Sept 1 from Raging Opossum Press (cover by Chris Gleason)
—Prompt for Writing and/or Living— Season 1, Episode 4: Into the Unknown with katie robinson — Meditate on what it feels like to be the skin of the earth. Meditate on the divisiveness of this moment (without getting caught up in it). Think about boundaries and borders generally, knowing… 1/2 🧵

Have you heard about the nationwide group of hundreds of volunteers who visit federal courthouses to collect habeas corpus petitions and make them available to immigrants, attorneys, researchers and journalists? Consider donating some money to pay for printing fees: ijti.us
The Rabbit Hole: How the search for one court record became a nationwide movement.
It’s difficult to access immigration court records under an increasingly antiquated federal rule. An army of volunteers is working to change that.

Things I hate include: gift cards that may have some amount of money in them or none and I have to figure them out. (Also terrible: gift card with 37 cents.)

I haven't had coffee yet . Had to bring my car in to replace the catalytic converter and O2 sensor. Which costs about as much as a nice used e-bike 😭. On the bright side, walking back from the mechanic's let me wander through the Powderhorn Art Fair 🤸🏼♀️
