Been driving across the state all day but HEY! Here, have a new poem. Big thanks to @rustandmoth.bsky.social!
Rust & Moth@rustandmoth.bsky.social · 2d agoNew #poetry from Mitchell Nobis: "That Which Glows in the Gray".
We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

i will never get tired of receiving books in the mail. it is such a treat every time. even if it's a book i end up not enjoying. to receive it! a pure thrill!
No solutions to anything here -- just another piece of education discourse written by a non-teacher that is distinctly American, which is the only way I can explain its truly strange concluding sentence And before that, superficial, full of blind spots and logical gaps

Stone Circle Review@stonecirclereview.bsky.social · 2w agoPOEM 356: "Unable, until the end" by Jonathan Grimwood (@joncg.bsky.social) "They'd decided you must be the same, with your coming and going. A little ragged, a little smart, a little held between worlds." stonecirclereview.com/unable-until/ #Poem #Poetry #NewPoem #PoetryCommunity
The Trump administration has begun removing signage from both Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments following its decision to shrink the monuments.
Today (8/1) in 1944, Anne Frank wrote her last diary entry. The family was captured three days later.
Brilliant poem here
Betty Stanton@fadingbetty.bsky.social · 5d agoI took a break from posting here because months have been insane in good and bad ways, but I recently learned my poem in @rowanglassworks.bsky.social was nominated for Best of the Net! Guess I'm back! www.rowanglassworks.org/flash-glass-... #poem #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #amwriting
‼️The Circle is always open. I'm looking for poems that are strange enough to reward rereading, but are not so obscure that they baffle the reader. No fee. Four-week turnaround. Guidelines: stonecirclereview.com/submissions-... #Poetry #PoetryCommunity #CallForSubmissions #LitMag
just misread "unfathomable pressure" in a poem as "unfathomable pleasure." and maybe the two are the same, ultimately
My take. When I was a special ed para nearly 10 years ago, I made $14 an hour. Some lived on that pay. Lead sped teacher made under 50k. We gotta take "they love their kids, that's why they do it" out of the payroll process. They should've 0'ed out 2020 and redone the whole year for all kids in '21.
Anne Lutz Fernandez@lutzfernandez.bsky.social · 6d agoThis new data compiled by @mattbarnum.bsky.social is invaluable. It makes clear that worries about the teacher shortage, downplayed by contrarians, were and are warranted. Importantly, it raises a largely ignored factor affecting student mental health, behavior, and academic success.
One week away!

![Q. How did you see these possibilities Lof hybrid work] at play in your book?
A. I think hybrid work is a fun place to experiment and play and innovate. At the same time, I think hybrid work is also an exceptional place to work on extremely difficult material, particularly in terms of trauma.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sczn3f6ljcfwpxryk6cmenbr/bafkreifdefjiu4wag6jczk2bqjzuna44v6srphbq65zyguqtilnlghm3oa)
To add to this: ultimately, the project of eugenics always returns to regulating humanity, homogenizing us until we are each useful, predictable tools that can produce (labor, children, etc.) for the rich and powerful.
Jessica Ritchey@jmritchey.bsky.social · last wk.Going after autistic/ADHD kids next after trans kids makes all the sense in the world, because the larger global fascist project is making sure your children-property do and be whatever their parent-owners want. You can "fix" your broken toy rather than deal with the reality of another person.
