my younger kid got a first poetry acceptance last week, and i am officially now more worried about his submittable than my own. (we are now four writers in one family, and i am not sure this bodes well for anything.)

about 4.5 months out from debut collection's publication, and I am for sure the most annoying version of myself. If I contact you, I'm sorry.

The is happening right now. As U.S. broadcast journalists prepare for their segments, get makeup-ready and prepare their propagandist notes, this is happening right now.

I hope you'll read 'Girl Locks' by Claudia Monpere - it's a wrenching, beautiful story about the policing of healthcare access. And the rhythm, repetition, the craft of it, are really a thing to behold. Split Lip Magazine splitlipthemag.com/flash/0524/cla…

'We must be clear: the administration has put our students’ safety at risk and has failed to ensure a conducive learning environment. As student leaders, it is time for our voice to be heard.'

Morning walk, shaking out the brain

Any Columbia student who experienced (or was told by a victim that they experienced) police violence, police invasion of their home, sexual harassment, and so on is encouraged by faculty to file a report. This is relevant for litigation.

What's really important is that we condemn property damage at Columbia University.
