I’m down for Al Sharpton’s boycott on Friday.
If we want to be effective, we need to stop giving these people our money.

No executive order can deport love. Register below to say so. Bay to Ocean Writers Conference, March 8th, 2025 1000 College Circle, Wye Mills, MD 21679 Register Here: https://www.easternshorewriters.org/event-5975520 2:30PM – 3:30PM The Skinny Poetry Workshop Redux: Line/Breaks/Love Truth Thomas In this face-to-face poetry workshop with the Skinny form creator, NAACP Image Award-winning poet Truth Thomas, Howard County, Maryland's Inaugural Poet Laureate, will teach the formal writing rules of this acclaimed, internationally popular form focusing exclusively on themes of ferocious love. Workshop participants will learn the poetic, redemptive, and keenly powerful nature of the love poem focus specifically in the context of this fixed form of poetry. As always, writing life lessons on the importance of concision in the practice of poetry will be celebrated. This will be a writing-intensive, singular, and hopefully transformative literary event.
