See you at #AWP!

If when your party is out of power, spending on fighting elsewhere is evidence of not being America First. But when you’re in power, doing even more of this (w/ off-the-charts belligerence) now equals America First, the code’s cracked:

“America First” is a bunch of vowels & consonants w/ no meaning

*Trigger warning for suicide.* This poem's the hardest I've written, dealing w/the loss of people by their own hands.

@cassmannes.bsky.social Thank you for putting so much of this together. 🔥 @omnidawn.bsky.social, thank you, too, for helping me find my PULSE after 16 years.

Had a blast reading from PULSE at Friday LIVE on @nebpublicmedia.bsky.social. Look how cute my gentle host, Penelope Morrow, and I are. And no, we did not plan the matching hair and stripes.

Tune in to me at 16:28:
