I like poetry, science, easy vegan recipes, and the ridiculous. Poems in The Bear Review, The Boiler, radarpoetry.com, etc. My second book, “Trash Witch”, will be out in February. She/her

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I'd go a bit further than this and say that Americans should just shut the fuck up about the governance of any other country altogether.

Literature is dead and no one reads anymore! I would still encourage you to make terrible life choices and become a writer anyway! Fuck a job, write poetry!

I've never been mountain climbing and have no intention of going anywhere near K2, but I fully expect it to find me and kill me anyway.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Painted in 1914, 'The Sheaves,' is filled with the stillness and mystery that make Felix Vallotton's paintings so absorbing; a symbolic picture, his landscapes rarely include people but in this work, a presence is suggested by the (perhaps abandoned) tools and basket.

I saved some money not shipping at target but I really started saving when I quit Amazon. I hadn’t realized the number of impulse purchases I was making.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.
