watching everyone plan their Thanksgiving menus is the most horrified and non-American I feel. The things you people do to poultry. To pies. To casseroles. The world deserves answers

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.
Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

so lucky to be read so carefully and beautifully by Keegan 💗💗
Coming out of very fun conversation on Saturday and I would like to announce that it is wonderful to read and think about Stitch, Unstitch by @kristingrogan.bsky.social, which helps us shape the modernist canon in relation to how poets engage everyday, ordinary labor.

Keegan’s book is just so, so good - on how poetry expresses, refracts, and critiques state-managed capitalism, and how it does this by developing interdisciplinary public forms. I’ve been reading this book all week and cannot wait to talk with Keegan and Chris later today!
