Book of Extraction: Poems with Teeth!

one of our first books, and most loved.
Adrian's lament for this teeth, and the price he's paid to keep them, keeps striking a nerve.

I can't recall what I opened the fridge for but I can recite the 1st verse to Ice Ice Baby and Nightmare On My Street like it was 1994. I'm not proud of my accomplishments.

Got to do something with Z that I never got the chance to do with Dad: teach them to tie a tie.

My AWP poetry book pull is seriously obnoxious!

At AWP, none of the books I bought quite compare to this special gift from a friend. A smoothed over tumbler stone from their space. As soon as we parted, I had a moment. Such sweet humans in my life!

oh look y'all… a way to contact Schumer despite the fact he's doing his slimy, wiggly best to dodge the american people:

SHARE WIDELY

these are schumer's chief of staff and legislative director… two of the most critical staff positions:
If voicemails are full, you can also email these staffers in Schumer's office:

It’s over a 100 years after the great Jewish crusader for free speech, Emma Goldman, was deported from USA for her speaking out. Yet history repeats itself.

People shouldn’t be deported for speaking out.

People shouldn’t be deported for speaking out.

We mustn’t stay silent.

With NASA, not only did the American ppl buy innovations like GPS, ballpoint pens, batteries, water filters, it also spent money to ensure zero civilian interruption or harm. SpaceX gives no fucks beyond profits

Z after watching the speech tonight "It's 8:30, I'm tired of this bullshit. I'm going to bed." This was right after the transgender hatred he spewed. Teaching them right, I think

We Lived Happily During the War
And when they bombed other people’s houses, we   protested but not enough, we opposed them but not   enough. I was in my bed, around my bed America   was falling: invisible house by invisible house by...

If you’re in LA - 12 pm at the Federal Building on Wilshire…
We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?
