I don't think grammarly should just get to do "sorry deleting now" after ventriloquizing living and dead people without their consent to make money
Yes I’d like to see them be held to some accountability as in having their business destroyed by lawsuits.

One fun thing to do at AWP is to start a timer at the beginning of the Q&A section and stop it the first time someone has “more of a comment than a question”
TFW you almost forget to buy your AWP registration before it goes up $175.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!
![Petitioner’s counsel has requested documentation of a judicial warrant for his arrest, any charging documents, or other authority supporting his detention. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 18–20. ICE has provided no response. Id. To date, ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings, charged him with violating immigration law, set bond, issued a Notice to Appear, or otherwise processed him. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 49. In Respondent’s Opposition brief, the government states “ICE intends to take further action consistent with the laws prescribed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) once Petitioner is released from medical care and it can conduct the examination as [prescribed] in 8 C.F.R § 287.3.” Opp. at 4. Neither Petitioner nor Respondents have provided the Court with information about Petitioner’s citizenship, whether he has violated any law or regulation, or any information that would suggest that Petitioner is a flight risk.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreibpqdfpwwfineikxjjncxeutbyrddhcpswh2etjfk23tbff27ajw4)

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.
Worth noting that the highest profile and most successful Democratic elected official currently in those states is Laura Kelly, the Governor of Kansas, who seems to not believe in Ezra Klein’s theory of politics!
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 11mo agoI genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!
I’ve read a billion books and watched a million films and documentaries about the rise of fascism in Europe in the 30s and I really never thought being one of the fascism noticers would feel like this but here we are

Ok so in case yall missed the memo like I did. David Lehman, series editor of Best American Poetry is a Zionist ass. Literally feel embarrassed that I wound up in this situation. I was literally the only person of color in a room of 50+ people. It was terrifying. #poetry #bestamericanpoetry
Anyone with student loans serviced by MOHELA and on SAVE still not seeing interest accrue? It's been over a month! Mainly curious bc my loan interest is gonna be like ~$220/month.
Today was Botox round 2 for migraines. My neuro is convinced this one will help, and I'm still trying to be optimistic. Today is also Day 179 of daily migraines. Here's hoping this stops them before I hit the half-year mark 🤞
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Just putting this out there. Not on any AWP panels in Baltimore, but I do plan on coming. If you're looking for readers, I might be interested 👀 Also, if you've got a panel, let me know! Excited to be hitting the East Coast for the first time ever in March 😊
Less than two weeks away! Come by the Replay to hear some rad music and words.
Daniel A. Hoyt@danhoyt.bsky.social · 12mo agoHey, #LFK, get the Rock and Roll Reading on your calendar, all-ages matinee show on Sept. 12. @bradleymckellip.bsky.social is the excellent musical act. A dozen or so readers will each read something about or inspired by Rock and Roll (or its precursors or offshoots) for 3 minutes or less.
