A small thing I've started doing that has had a tremendous positive effect on my mental health is listening to music instead of podcasts

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵
Two stages of writing:
1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no

The most Pittsburgh of Pittsburgh days. This kind of morning. Tornado warning by nightfall.

A vivid, abstract art piece. Bright orange pigment forms a rectangular block with fluid edges. Black pigment melts into the top edge. The block is gashed by strokes of pink which are—in turn—slashed with smaller, linear strokes of black.

love a good “O” in a poem, little fearless halo, the line’s volume knob turned all the way up, the stanza’s submarine window through which we glimpse an ocean of thought and feeling

The US just keeps picking the Joja Mart route instead of the Community Center route.
MATINS You want to know how I spend my time? I walk the front lawn, pretending to be weeding. You ought to know I'm never weeding, on my knees, pulling clumps of clover from the flower beds: in fact I'm looking for courage, for some evidence my life will change, though it takes forever, checking each clump for the symbolic leaf, and soon the summer is ending, already the leaves turning, always the sick trees going first, the dying turning brilliant yellow, while a few dark birds perform their curfew of music. You want to see my hands? As empty now as at the first note. Or was the point always to continue without a sign?
Louise Glück.

Parents... please check your children's candy tonight. I just went through Salomé Athena's haul and I found a copy of the Jorge Luis Borges short story collection "The Garden of Forking Paths". This metatextual exploration may be too advanced for young readers.
We close for submissions on poetry & fiction November 1st—send us your beautiful weirdness before Wednesday using this link: pinchjournal.submittable.com/submit
Always challenging when there's a project that I very much believe in and it gets a lot of rejection!
good to finally have a call to use the awesome graffiti photos in my camera roll
Just have not been able to get this line of Audre Lorde's poem out of my head for the last few weeks..."a circle does not suffer/nor can it dream."
