The expression on this man's face 😂

Top 10 Highest Selling Hip Hop Albums (from 6/23/2025) I was a little surprised by a couple of these, and also by the actual numbers. Maybe I've never really paid much attention to the business side of music? www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcMM...

"...I have middle-class resources and I have friends who have none of that who are out of prison and they can call me and I’ll help them with stuff, or give them money, or just be part of a safety net to try to help them stay out of prison." electricliterature.com/rachel-kushn...

QTP with a title screen that's iconic to you!

"No matter who wins in November, what happens next will depend on who keeps showing up. Learn from Minnesota organizers: Don't just vote, find your people and join an organization that will still be building people power after the election." Something to amplify, on 11/4 or any day of the year:

Vegetarian and vegan options (especially meat substitutes) have gotten immensely better

Best way to fight back? Vote. Minnesota: You can vote now or cast your ballot by November 3.

This episode had me 🤯. Do not miss!

The irony of a review panelist misgendering me while discussing my grant application to stage "This Body, This Fruit" again (tour version! Duluth and Rochester!) is a little too on the nose, I think 🫩 🎱: don't count on it

Friday news, but I’m super proud to say that a short horror story of mine is going to be in Hellarkey V!!! Massive thank you to editors @ossuary.bsky.social @renbolger.bsky.social @geoliminal.bsky.social. This is also my 3rd time in Malarkey so this might make me an official Malarker? Malarkeyean?

Turns out I'll spend a big chunk of the day doing Internet vulnerability mitigation wheeee 😭 Also for some reason learning about BIMI no actually idc all that much but tysm ADHD for that 🙃

Adjacent to recent thoughts that it won't be long till people start mimicking LLM-speak because they've been reading too much of it. Some peoples' brains will get sucked into the LLM-training doom loop; the Internet becomes more dangerous than it already is. Who's working on deprogramming? 😅

Calendar says I can work all day, no appointments or meetings! This means: * I can finish drafting a couple of grant applications 🥳 * I almost certainly forgot to add something in my calendar and will be frantically rushing somewhere (maybe just Zoom) later 😅 🏇🏼

Grief—I've seen her at night; the way she dresses up, my god, she sparkles, she shimmers. I can't blame you. I'd go to her too. Who wouldn't want her and then want her again once they'd felt all the ways she makes a body shake. Victoria Redel

The anthology also features Amanda Gorman, Ada Limón, Danez Smith, Jason Reynolds, Junauda Petrus, Ollie Schminkey, Bao Phi, Alice Paige, Kao Kalia Yang, and so many more. Here's the bookshop link: bookshop.org/p/books/witn...

The Abduction of Persephone, by Nicola Maria Rossi, early 18th c

“The difference between ‘full’ and ‘flood’ is a drop, and we all felt it.” A performance of my poem from the new anthology “Witness: Poems to Address the Past, Present, and Future of Policing,” edited by @aritison.bsky.social & @tychapmn.bsky.social. More on the book at guante.info/witness.

Congratulations to @debkossmann.bsky.social on being named to the longlist for The Granum Prize! www.granumfoundation.org/2026-granum-...

I met a Minnesotan who paid $18,000 out of pocket for dental surgery because Medicare just doesn't cover it. Your eyes and teeth are part of your body. It's time to expand Medicare to cover vision and dental - then get to work passing Medicare for All.

Self-harm is not the most reasonable response to looming grant application deadlines. BUT - hear me out -

grateful to have this little poem, & another, in the new issue of NOON, which editor Philip Rowland has designed to be read as its own renga-like chain of poems... The effect is lovely, & I'm linking to the issue in the comments, if you'd like to spend a little time w/ it...
