Anybody who uses #TikTok take note!
Beautiful children, love this so much, such a joyful sight π
we all know I have no life, so:
An Invention of Collective Nouns Β A reckoning of spreadsheets. A distraction of smartphones. A prattle of podcasts. A mispronunciation of scones. Β A clique of photographers. A heard of precedents. An enjambment of poets. A grope of presidents. Β A pile of haemorrhoids. A bunion of personal trainers. A bout of estimations. A condescension of mansplainers. Β A stroke of geniuses. A spot of adolescents. An embarrassment of Richards. A collection correction of pedants. Brian Bilston
Todayβs poem is called βAn Invention of Collective Nounsβ.
This is about the only rational one in that whole thread...some pretty wild thought processes going on!
This story just gets worse. Ranking women like cuts of meat! Disgusting creeps π€¬
ThisππΌ. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope Iβm proven wrong.
FFS, what a fucking disappointment! Well done, Stonewall, just shit on the very people who were there fighting from the beginning! Without them your organisation wouldn't even exist!
I can not stand these awful people!
Oohhh she's got so much respect for Empress Terf! Just do one!

Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez: βHere in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.
βAnd I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.β

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administrationβs vision for this City β one where New Yorkβs Cutest have the strongest start possible.
Spring walk in Kyotoβs IchijΕji neighborhood, where narrow alleys crisscross and you might (happily) get a little lost. If youβre lucky, a beautiful view of Mt. Hiei will be yours.
Plinth...nope...it just screams beige cardigans and mustard slacks π
This is bad for my blood pressure π
Also...there was one I had never heard of hahaha

I spent a week glued to the Artemis 2 livestream and wrote some words about THE MOON, OUR MOON, and what happens to language at the edges of human experience. open.substack.com/pub/nothingb...
Excerpt - "As the astronauts deliver the SitReps - i.e. are not engaged actively in the gathering of scientific data - it is stark how rapidly they move away from technical description and fall back onto the language of poetics: colours, superlatives, adjectives, emotions. After all, in its purest terms, what they are doing is just describing a view - something landscape painters and romantic poets have been trying to do throughout history. And perhaps when it comes to describing a view, no matter how much you might try to be there in the name of science, you end up in the realms of art."
Excerpt "If to be a poet is to be a metaphor-maker, then certainly we can call them poets. Astronaut Christina Koch describes one of the moon's craters from a new angle as 'looking like a large healing wound', and new craters pockmarking the lunar surface as resembling 'a lampshade with tiny pinprick holes'. In this sense, the team's descriptions are a sort of exercise in free association, new extraterrestrial shapes seeking correlates in the more familiar - furniture, our own bodies, domestic detritus."
"Perhaps poetry is what happens when cognition encounters something outside of its existing framework; something beyond the edge, which cannot be made sense of."
