Thank you! For class I tackled Lemebel's "Manifiesto" which was likely too much me at my level of reading/speaking but I LOVED it.

CW: it includes brief descriptions of sexual acts, violence, and slurs. It is the poetic manifesto of a queer man challenging his society.

Both angry and beautiful.

I enjoyed that, do you have other Spanish language poetry you would recommend? I've always had a hard time with language acquisition, but my Spanish classes last year focused on things I was excited about, like fashion, justice, and then in the final weeks, poetry. I found myself much more engaged.

"The biggest mistake we make is forgiving those who harm us."

You are asking a lot of people to do the opposite.

This, by @punkgroucho.bsky.social is a really beautiful exploration of Kurt Cobain's identity and if, as a cis person, you feel incredulous at the possibility of Cobain identifying differently in a different time, please read until the end.

I grew up in the 80s, so I got to learn about gay people existing through mass death and bullies.

Heaven forbid the conversation that gay people exist happen in the context of a heartfelt story. Better that little Johnny/Judy ask on the ride home about that slur their father used in the restaurant.

Are you planning to attempt the patter? It's simpler than it appears if you want to get wild with it.

I was an auction runner for a few years and attended hundreds. Never actually called, but I say go for it.

I read it out loud to my wife in rhythm as best I could, and she just rolled her eyes and said "God you love that song" :P

We go hard in VT ( basically, I jumped off the first story of a building to evade a snowball only to be met by a much harder object: pavement)

When I reached out, the librarian confirmed it was the right text, was happy to help, but said it would take a couple of months in queue to digitize. My reply was so RIDICULOUSLY excited, effusive in my gratitude, and happy to wait, that he just went and personally digitized it for me the same day.

I once tracked down a text that was critical to my research that I had known about for a decade but didn't appear to be any extant copies. I finally found a physical copy in some special archive at Yale...

At the ancient Egyptian adventure I managed, I "resurrected" Rupert Grint and his family when their guide allowed their group to die in the penultimate room.

They were all very nice and we were too.

My 6 & 4-year-old use meditations & sleepcasts to help them go to sleep. But the Headspace AI chatbot cannot be disabled. It's presence terrifies me. I don't need advice, my kids & wife are aware of my feelings & we will likely make a change, but these things are everywhere. Genuine horror stories.
