Slam Poetry Is Good Actually - Racket And the Twin Cities community is one of the best places to see it.

Re-sharing this @racketmn.com piece I wrote last year about how slam poetry can be (and very often is) so much better than the dominant pop culture stereotype of it.

Hey! So @elitalksmpls.bsky.social and I need to raise another $2200 to feed 40 families this week. If you donate $50 or more and post or message proof, I will draw a bird for you. If you donate $100 or more, my son Micah will draw a bird for you.

We Asked Tax Experts Everything About Mutual Aid - Racket Does the IRS want a piece of your fundraising dollars? Here's what we know.

subscriptions to COYOTE have slowed down by a LOT. and yes, I’m worried, but I also know that people are generally terrified out there. I’m just glad we’re still committed to giving people the knowhow to survive. stories like this one will be free to read forever www.coyotemedia.org/i-hosted-a-m...
