"In #Moth, Eleanor Holmes' hypnotising hybrid of the medical and the magical, the author invites us to be curious, about bodies and personhood, about the constraint of expectations, about the clinical versus the vital, the unfamiliar.

Eleanor Holmes is an exciting new voice in poetry and I am sure this pamphlet, a fascinating and powerful mix of moths and medicine, will establish her as a name to watch.

Ha seriously I am sounding a little hoarse already! Let’s find some way to meet up. I’ll be tabling for Grist from 9-11 tomorrow, but after that mostly wandering (+ probably some panels…and finding quiet spaces/comfy chairs).
This is why I keep coming back. It means so much to me to be able to connect with community in this way. It was so good to see you!!!
I love seeing everyone at AWP, I love the panels and offsite reading and discovering new books but omg it just started and my body is in so much pain 😫
Omg that looks so good!
I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link!

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.
At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.
A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.
Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

What Bogi is describing happened to us - we reached out to an org to try to understand our options wrt our complex situation, and never heard back.
Last year I also reached out to our local ACLU multiple times and heard nothing back.
Every org is overloaded.

"Perhaps this thing I am calling kindness
is more simple than kindness, rather, recognition
of the neighbor & the blue, shared earth
& the common circumstance of being here:
what remains living of the last
two million, impossible years…"

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.
Fantastic thread!
