The way I SCREAMED A SCREAM upon reading scanned lines of prose. This made my poet-heart so happy, and is also proof that time heals all wounds (thousands of lines of AP Latin scansion homework.) I read this short story then listened to the podcast and then read the story out loud to myself again.

Workshop last night: two people cried. The rest of talked about how often we cry. Normalize crying! Humans have feelings! Also we read and talked about some great writing. Life doesn't get much better than gathering around art 💜

It's a whole thing living in this world right now. Be kind to yourself, to others, as much as you are able. And make a little art if you can. A two minute doodle, a little haiku, some plunked piano keys--it all will make the world a brighter place 💜

It's Friday. You've got plans for the weekend, I know. Maybe you're planning to resist. Don't forget what Tricia Hersey told us: rest is resistance, too. Don't forget what Toi Derricote told us: joy is an act of resistance, too. Don't forget what I know in my heart: your voice matters.
