made my man a breakfast sandwich before he goes to work at the farm down the road owned by a elder feminist who is a force of nature it's going into harvest season now, all the little farms are reaping the beauty they have sown

eating disorders make me so angry and this whole "clean eating" nonsense feeds right into that nourishment itself becomes toxic. trying to obtain a "purity" that doesn't exist through starvation this is not what the organic food movement meant to do and I resent it

if you're going to homeschool your kids you better be disciplined and organized. That's all I got to say from what I've seen from hippies who homeschool and the Christian right. Homeschooling is not an excuse to neglect your kids.

I am available for poetry manuscript consultations. I've done manuscript consultations for Frontier Poetry and I was a Visiting Professor at the Iowa Writers Workshop in 2022, as well as being the author of 4 books, the last two from Copper Canyon. Rates are flexible. nikkiwallschlaeger@gmail.com
