my favorite thing about poetry is that it's fundamentally perverse. words are horrible creatures. no one should ever interact with language without PPE. wash your hands. wash them again. you still smell like literary devices. they've gotten into your skin. it's worth it. god help us, it's worth it.
NO NO NO YOU DON’T
GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA
federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL
tell everyone you know

I'm sure this is fine.
Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.
Ironically, Mate then goes on to set up an alternative normativity while protesting against the normal. I like sitting around listening to boring stuff (or what he would consider boring at least), and we aren’t actually *meant* to do anything.
Finally catching up on @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social with Gabor Mate, and I’m unimpressed with the discussion of neurodivergence. “What are you diverging from?” only sounds like a good critique if you misunderstand the concept. It’s about diverging from the normative, not the normal
It’s actually FEWER Misérables

this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying

Including my flash fiction, “Salvage”.
Tomorrow is Nuclear Victims Remembrance Day in the Marshall Islands. There is a brutal irony in the country that made that day necessary attacking another nation on the (very thin) pretext of preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The vacuum has now literally disintegrated. I think they sent me a used one when it was supposed to be new. Customer service says they can’t send a replacement to my address. Ecovacs are scammers.
they essentially promised him needed accommodations (editing, no mic) for his condition, and not only didn't follow through, but instead did the opposite. BBC stole the dignity of so many people that night and turned what should have been a celebration for everyone into hurt, shame, and pain
Don’t ever buy an Ecovacs robotic vacuum. Mine worked for a week before stopping and all customer service does is repeat the troubleshooting procedure on their website that I have already tried.
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.
FOSS nerds: the Torment Nexus cannot be ethical until it is Open Source
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
The New York Times is about a dozen years late to the poet voice discourse.
Seahawks losing only 3 games by a total of 9 points is some heroic shit.
That wasn’t it.
Every Seahawks fan wants the same thing to happen here.
I take back every bad thing I ever said about Australia
Up 9-0 in a great defensive game has me cautiously optimistic, but I am a lifelong Seattle sports fan, so that’s heavy on the caution.
