My micro-chapbook, “American Lục Bát For My Mother” (Bull City Press 🐂) is out for PRE-ORDER!!! (Pre-order link in bio & you can also scroll down for more instructions)

Thinking of Daunte Wright's family. Thinking of the greater Minneapolis community. Thinking of all the Black folks who wake up to this news again and again and again and again and again. Thinking of the toll is takes on your body, the air it pulls from your lungs. Every time.

I graduated from a state school that cost $50 a semester. That opportunity is simply not out there today. Two out of every three people who go to a state school today have to borrow money to graduate. That is not how we build a future. #CancelStudentDebt

Michael Holtz spent six months working at a meatpacking plant in Dodge City during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this wonderful piece, he vividly evokes the experience of being on the line there--the grisliness, the pathos, the drudgery, and the humanity. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

This piece, by Michael Holtz, might make you go vegetarian: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Check out Kansas kid @michaelrholtz and his inspiring reporting in a Dodge City meatpacking plant #kansas theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

While I was watching Netflix last year, my friend @michaelrholtz was working the night shift at a meatpacking plant in KS. The piece he reported and wrote about his life and his coworkers' lives has so much humanity and so much to teach - I can't recommend it highly enough.

So excited to see this pitch from @KatWritesStuff up on #pitchwars Yes to this book making its way into the world. showcase.pitchwars.org/pw2021-ya-my-t…

Kansas said FUCK YOU

Trust women.

This is huge: abortion rights were on the ballot for the first time since Roe, and the people of Kansas voted to preserve access. I’m grateful down to my toes for everyone who helped stop this dangerous ballot measure in its tracks.

This is a win for Kansans, our families, and our rights. We rejected extremism and chose a path forward that protects all Kansans’ ability to make their own choices, without government interference.

Say this for the Humanities—we can give you some tools to help you be alone with your thoughts.
