Internet Friends Day. Just wrapped up the last of @writingco-lab.bsky.social's Ungodly Hour writing sessions. I wasn't the best participant, but I did get up and in my chair at 5 AM most days. Thank you, @briangresko.bsky.social. Next session starts in March!
10% of classes purchased through Monday will go to a member of the co-lab community on the ground in Minneapolis, providing groceries & rent support to families who are essentially on house arrest because of ICE. Please spread word & help support artists & grassroots resistance

Great advice for authors on booking events from @petesreading.bsky.social cohost @briangresko.bsky.social—I wholeheatedly agree!
past couple years I’ve penned letters to my students about writing & living a creative life drawn from my two decades of art making, literary journalism, criticism, curation, and publishing experiences both good and bad. I started a substack to share similar!

“I love the sounds down there. The variations inside that accent are really beautiful. And the things that people say? The figurative language? It’s so rich.” @donikakelly.bsky.social discusses the influence of Southern speech on her third and latest poetry collection. Read on: at.pw.org/DonikaKelly

Yet another example of why ICE must be abolished. Why would any sensible country keep around a security force like this? It doesn't even matter what your views are on immigration, this entire agency and all of its staff needs to go.
Any writers who use Patreon out there? I’m curious to know if you like it and how you use it. Thanks!
