august reading round up by @thestorygraph.com didn’t quite nail the #SealeyChallenge

Brianna Pastor (Good Grief)

tonite i cried reading #poetry on my porch and sometimes that is enough to be okay in a not okay world

day 1: 50 Things Kate Bush Taught Me About The Multiverse by Karyna McGlynn

“I want you to spend the rest of your life / hearing my song ripping through chimneys”

💙📚 #SealeyChallenge #poetry

Malcolm Jamal Warner was doing poetry these days and actually won a Grammy.

who’s with me? 🙋🏽‍♂️

book 28: You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron

A YA slasher that plays w/the tropes of the genre. more humor than straight horror. Good for those wanting to dip their toes in the genre. Hewot Tedla did an excellent job with the audiobook. Quick, entertaining summer read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.75 💙📚

“weekends” don’t recover or refresh me anymore. i think it’s because writing / working on poetry so much on those days was what did the trick. anyway another week at the museum begins….

book 27

The Hormone of Darkness: A Playlist by Tilsa Otta

“I’m making friends with a black hole and I see him every afternoon
but deep down I don’t love him
and I don’t know where he’s going to take me”

this collection is tender and transgressive. out of foucus and sharp. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📚💙

it is so bleak that 90% of work emails are guards emailing asking for someone to cover a shift because the museum said they can’t take it off so they can go to their grandma’s funeral

book 26 I loved this odd, yet scarily familiar world. The writing switches from very simplistic to beautifully poetic, almost lyrical. humor & weirdness float in a novel that explores the roles of love, self preservation and responsibility as the world hurtles toward apocalypse ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📚💙

The axe from Charlotte’s Web has endorsed Cuomo

another one of my “weekends” where i didn’t write or even try to write

#NowWatching Madman #Horror

Cops out here armed & in full fascist tactical gear, & the media thinks we’re supposed to care IF civilians launch rubber bullets back.

Cops have been showing us for YEARS since George Floyd protests how deadly rubber bullets are against civilians—but I think the police in their gear will be fine.

Doechii tho. 🤘🏻🖤✊🏻

LAPD out there like

“I mistake bullet casings
for cormorant beaks diving till water churns the color of sunsets”

book 25: Unaccompanied by Javier Zamora

haunting and beautiful and meaningful in today’s political wasteland. filled with powerful and intimate poems. a confrontation on the losses that build and build.
