He asked an AI bot to write a poem about the angst that living in these times creates in all of us, set in the home of some untethered soul, with end-stopped rhymes, and wholly built on unlinked metap...

What Rain Will Do and Girls | Rust & Moth
Light rain persists, a pittering on branch knuckle and petal mold, a wet whisper glazed into leaf-sheen. I recall another rain day, a green slicker without a hood, a girl with a girl under a covered bridge...

People with Cats | Rust & Moth
Consider people who live easily with cats. Their homes offer double greetings: a glass of iced tea (or wine) and a nose silently extended, sniffing. Pat your lap and the tabby or flute-slender Siamese...

In Trump’s America, his thought police will show up if you post something that he doesn’t like. A NY poll worker was visited by ICE agents on Tuesday — almost 6 months after she called for the indictment of Renee Nicole Good’s killer. We won’t let Trump scare people away from opposing his regime.
If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire tax, we could fully cover free community college in America.
On this Juneteenth, we hope you will take some time to acknowledge the incredible contributions of Black Americans, all of the progress that we’ve made, and also how far we still have to go to achieve justice in our country.
Nice poem @rustandmoth.bsky.social published last year. This is exactly what my oldest son used to do, list of people who loved him. It’s a nice practice for everyone, really
In a few days, a little-known law that lets the Trump regime sidestep the Constitution to spy on American citizens is set to expire. Email your Members of Congress and demand they don’t reauthorize this civil liberties disaster. 👇

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoQ: What do you think about Democrats saying they'll hold up FISA TRUMP: I don't care what they say. They're Dumocrats. They're dumb people Q: But you need their votes TRUMP: Uhhhh. Then I guess something is gonna happen.
House Republicans just voted to hand Trump and ICE another $70 billion — despite growing evidence of abuse, cruelty, dangerous conditions inside detention facilities like Delaney Hall, and the horrifying violence we’ve seen in places like Minnesota.

So grateful to see my new poem “Quiet Turning” published in Rust & Moth. Thank you so much, Rust & Moth, for giving this poem a home.
Rust & Moth@rustandmoth.bsky.social · 2mo agoNew #poetry from Youtao Cao: "Quiet Turning".
As soon as tomorrow, Senate Republicans could start the legislative process to shovel over $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol to build more concentration camps like Delaney Hall and kidnap more of our neighbors. That means our Members of Congress need to hear from us.
Rust & Moth is now open for submissions! The reading window for our Autumn issue runs June 1 through June 20, and we'd love to read your work.
