NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.
I don't really know why I'm even trying to publish poetry at all right now. People can say "poetry will change the world" but we've been writing steady for thousands of years and this is some terrible shit we're in. So--???
Bluesky seems to involve a ton of folks reposting clearly fraudulent fundraisers?
This poem by Lisa Zimmerman from @swwim.bsky.social is holding Mr steady today: “I didn’t know I loved so much of the vanishing world…” www.swwim.org/swwimeveryda...

Does anyone have a LEGIT reason to believe the 2/5 protests are a trap created to impose martial law? Because to me it seems like fear and paranoia. There are risks in this and all action, of course. But what's the alternative? Docility? Shitposting? What's a BETTER FUCKING PLAN?
I’m getting word from academics to back up and download anything you might have on a work server or work computer. Especially anyone who is NHS, NEA, NIH funded and doing work in any DEI field - queer, BLM - any federal grant funding Federally funded equipment can be seized.
Folks, I am not the Jessica Walsh who designs things (?). I'm a poet & professor, which means I'm weird & have big feelings. Feel free to keep following me! Things are crazy these days and building community is wonderful. But if you're looking for the designer JW, I ain't it. I'm the generic one. xo
Look out, Elgin/Fox Valley--icy conditions
So are NEA grants frozen, too? If so, I'm afraid they won't be back...
Saw the musical, saw the movie. I'm just not seeing what everyone loves about Wicked. I'm broken, I think 😂
I've read this and it's 🔥!

FRANCESCA is a gothic, feminist bildungsroman inspired by Canto V of Dante’s INFERNO. Sandra Newman’s JULIA + James Joyce’s PORTRAIT. #A #LF #SPF #2025Pit
Call for subs! Come get it, my good bitches.
Life gets lonelier in ways that are as necessary as they are awful. I think we're meant to befriend the veil long before we go through it.
YOUR ENEMIES LAMENT YOUR VERY EXISTENCE. HAVE YOU EATEN TODAY?
Dean told us yesterday that, in the event of an immigration raid at the college, we should know that ICE can't enter classrooms. Also, FERPA applies to ICE agents, too, so don't answer their questions about students. When I tell you what I thought my job would be 22 years ago...lord have mercy.
I will only give a shit about stakeholders the day i become a vampire
Well, shit. I guess I'll try to figure this place out finally.
