I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

That was already a war crime. I’m urging my congress folk to impeach.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Targeting civilians would, in fact, be a war crime.

This man is deranged, unstable, and unfit to lead. He thinks this is a game. Republicans need to find their backbone, rein him in, and end this reckless war before more innocent lives are lost and this escalates into something far worse.

I know them anywhere
Wrinkled and speckled
With your very own name

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Congratulations!

still waters #fascinate
a bit of sky captured, tethered, tamed
the leaf floats somewhere between heaven and earth
breathing in blue

oil prices are about to make polyester a noble fiber

Most honest reporting in the past few weeks.

I'm giving myself over
to the first #waver of spring.
Nothing but sparrows
everywhere among the buds
singing away the frost

Thank you!

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

As someone currently struggling to evict some squirrels from our roof, I read this piece very literally at first! Love the depiction of squirrels as hegemons ruling the yard.

I'd read that paper. Sounds better than AI slop.

Powerful piece - and congrats on the upcoming chapbook!

So much water with nowhere to go, riled up and crashing into itself, end less ache to rush across the sand, to howl east with the wind as far as it will blow. I'm tired of waiting too—slip out from behind glass and let wind lap me up, yes I say yes take me wherever you go.

Trying something a little different for #PoemsAbout #consent — that's what it's all about, right? Inspired by the very windy day we are having and that James Joyce book I never finished...

I am tying up this #precious heartbreak,
training these roses to grow unconditionally
red, giving myself to their exaggerated
longing

Some villages hold their hurts with fearsome grip. Stones leak stories, shadows are spirit-stalked. A visitor may find them picturesque, but the resident knows them as harsh haunted. Mortwell is such a village. It is a risk of ghosts. – #CJosiffe

This repeats yet another pattern from the Iraq War. When the Iraqis did not behave as the Americans wanted — without the deference and gratitude that a foreign military occupier felt it was due — they became targets.

Goo morning, monsters.

Spring forward, pounce, grapple the extra hour back, drink the time they tried to take from you.

The trees of summer grow
smaller every year—this
is a known phenomenon—
until the squirrels take over
your job, scampering and
chattering and sitting
#spellbound by the possibilities
of a single oak

Picture of a very still lake in winter. The line between sky and water is hazy and the blue of the water reflects the bright blue of the sky. There are a few small bits of ice scattered like clouds on the surface of the water

The lake, feeling #lethargic,
turned her head and covered
herself up with sky.
No one will find me here, she
murmured, startling a flock
of Buffleheads
who thought that they were flying.

A #cataract in one eye,
clouded, dim,
In the other
a downpour,
all that dazzling light
comes rushing in
