On #EarthDay , 2022, we launched the Artists for Climate Justice Fund to support climate justice solutions through the arts.

Since then, we’ve raised $3,200+ for sustainable development in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

This is only the beginning.

My phone is still dead. I wouldn't call that The Tortured Poets Department though. :) I've noticed that my head feels less busy, but I'd still like to have a phone. (I think I'll be turning off some notifications when I have mine again.)

I told Anna Leahy yesterday that I think shoe companies are missing out on sponsoring professors. A lot of people see me on my feet in class, at meetings, at conferences, at readings... and I was wearing some really cute rothys today. :D

My phone died today. This feels fitting for the semester I'm having. If you need me, options include:
1) Call my spouse.
2) Send me an email or a letter.
3) Shout your message to a bird.
4) Stand below my window playing music.
5) Decide you didn't really need me after all.

Book (& journal!) haul from Festival of Faith and Writing, greatly justified by me being like, well I have time to read I'm on sabbatical!!! 😍 #ffwgr

Had a blast reading at One Poet / One Poem tonight alongside my dear colleague Katie Manning, and two of my brilliant grad students Abigail Finch and Emma McCoy. Many thanks to Whale Road Review for the invite. #FFWgr

Attention Writers Everywhere! Getting your writing published in any external venue is a win. You never know the piece that will catch the eye of the person that could change your career. There is no such thing as a small success. (There are, however, small attitudes.)

Our second issue is out NOW! Go read it at the link below!

Game night is one of my very favorite things about PCA/ACA! Tonight I got to try two games that were made by one of the people at the table, and they were so fun! I'm excited to get copies of Search & Destroy and Trust Issues! #pcaaca2024 PCAGameStudies

FRIENDS. I just got to listen to Beyonce's Jolene, and I love it so much! What a great cover with her own spin. ❤️

Someone wrote that poem-a-day poem, but someone else requested/selected that poem. Someone set up the web page and email. Presumably someone proofread? Someone hit publish/send. How did it get by all of those people, and probably more? How?

For their final #bestdressed selection of the month, Sundress writer-in-residence Joey Gould chose How to Play by Katie Manning.
