BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

that they are freaking out this badly over a surtax on second homes worth more than five million dollars - the most excessive rich person thing imaginable, which doesn’t even affect most of them - really makes it clear how little attention you need to pay to the freak outs

the intermittence of skin flashing between two articles of clothing, between two edges; it is this flash which seduces...

MAKE NO ONE CAN TAKE SELF PUBLISHING AWAY FROM YOU. NO ALGORITHMS OR OLIGARCHS CAN CENSOR YOU. NO GATEKEEPERS CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS NOT IMPORTANT OR VALUABLE. NO GRANT FUNDING CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM YOUR WORDS. NO INSTITUTION CAN BAR YOU FROM ENTERING. NO KNOWLEDGE IS UNAUTHORIZED. THAT IS WHY YOU MUST ZINES!

Love this public service announcement on a neighborhood bulletin board (looks like it got wet in the rain, that's why it's a bit blurry) "NO ONE CAN TAKE SELF PUBLISHING AWAY FROM YOU. NO ALGORITHMS OR OLIGARCHS CAN CENSOR YOU. NO GATEKEEPERS CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS NOT IMPORTANT..."🌹🥀

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare.

The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.

Not only is this a good reminder, but a quick peek at the OP shows some very interesting books…and they are women owned, independent and specialize in queer horror, crime and dark fiction!

Win win! #Books #reading

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since.

But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

we need the experimental schools, the wacky places, the schools that don't care about grades or majors, the places that allow/empower students to create their own weird paths, to be weirdos. & yes, we need such education to occur outside/beyond the existing university structures.

a brown and khaki desert environment with a white sundog in the upper right corner. The black text of a poem on a bright pink background: Self-Portrait as a Shadow in a Landlocked Town by Sarah Lee Shadows on dry ground don’t bend like those on water, rippling through its many blisses, but snap to an angle harsh to the body, jagged at the edges lonely for an existence that's soft to the touch, as if the only sound it could make is the whispered assurance of a bird that can necklace the crown of any tree. I could lean myself into an I on every building, arrow my legs to a target only I can see, briefly, temporarily, tower over the road signs with limits I must pay to break, even turn my dirt-packed nails into the teeth of rabbits on the walls of any room. But none of that matters when I will fall and only follow and never outrun the sun.

"Self-Portrait as a Shadow in a Landlocked Town" by @saraheldot.bsky.social POET BIO: Sarah Lee is a writer and winner of the Academy of American Poets’ Madeline DeGaetano Memorial Poetry Prize. You can find her on Bluesky and Instagram @saraheldot.

Hampshire College to close after years of financial struggles Hampshire College will close after fall 2026 due to ongoing financial and enrollment struggles.

hampshire is where i did my undergrad and where i realized that yes, i need to be a poet. very sad about this and about the state of education in general.

www.masslive.com/education/20...

at Hampshire my courses ranged from the Russian novel to ethnomusicology to the intersections of philosophy & cognitive science to modern Chinese history to poetry workshop to geology, etc etc. and i did a 5 colleges certificate (basically a minor) in Asian American studies.

Work on your reports. Review each of your life's ten million choices. Endure moments of self-loathing.

mary ruefle was right when she said that people would rather read an essay about poetry than read a poem. it reminds me of when people in a museum read the explanatory caption before having their own experience of the art. you fear not "getting it" when you should fear not living

Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, "Oh, I'm too spooky." Or, "Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies." But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, "Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!"

Should we do a shark-themed summer issue in honor of these sharks (just kidding. Unless...)?

text of a poem in black lettering on a red-orange background. The background image is a later of bright green kiwi slices. Here is the text of the poem: IS THERE EVIDENCE OF GOD? by Vesper Hazy azul, rouge and tangerine show blood flow of my dysphoria, it’s alive and bleeding. There’s this salmon shade and I am flipping over, fried, thinking about how my mouth does not open but my mind shouts and I am with God if they are out there; not your God, but my God. This affirming, connective, pleasurable endless energy; is this too contemplative? I am here with you, cooling on the grill.

"IS THERE EVIDENCE OF GOD?" by Vesper. Vesper is a cripple punk trans queer poet from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His work is available to read at officialvesperpoetry.carrd.co. Follow him on Instagram @official__vesper.
