Beautiful.

Thank you to @hilaratzabi.bsky.social for being the inaugural poet in my new series Poem's Origin Story! She shares where the idea for a poem published in @consequencef.bsky.social came from. As an added bonus, she's teaching a related writing workshop next month!

I enjoyed it, too.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Are you a writer or an author and live in Colorado? We would love to follow you!

Please reach out. 😀

Yes! I can also get a good indoor workout doing a free yoga class on YouTube.

Living in a cold place (Colorado) I will say that you can dress for the cold but also if you really need to exercise, you can walk inside. I put on a podcast sometimes and just do circuits around my house. It accomplishes a lot of what my walking outside does.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Love it.

cover art for R.L. Maizes's novel A COMPLETE FICTION. Black hand-written print on a blue backround, the "i" letters replaced by pens dripping black ink.

Thinking today about how much I enjoyed @rlmaizes.bsky.social's A COMPLETE FICTION. The novel is set in and around the publishing biz and is charmingly wry while also having important things to say about the ethics of storytelling.

Delighted to have my end-of-year piece over @lilithmagazine.bsky.social included. Thx for reading and sharing @americanstudier.bsky.social

Applauding the writers who didn’t publish a goddamn thing this year because they’re being patient with their work. Those are the writers I admire and aspire to be more like.

And also forgetting to pee before you go to the gym.
