It's Emily Dickinson's birthday today, December 10, 1830. This magnificent 2-volume edition from Belknap-Harvard is all of her poems in her own penmanship, including scraps of her corrections, gathered and photographed. Wherever I go, these go with me.

Israel is home to some of the sickest people on Earth but the US has Israel beat.
“If it was up to me, I wouldn’t just send them on the way, make sure that there are concentration camps that will also burn them.”

Trump says “Christians” as he starves 42 million Americans for the fkn rich.
To these no real job having exploiters #religion is just another tool for #imperialism and #capitalism.
There is no such thing as Jesus Christ in the GOP.
That’s clear.
In fact I’d postulate it’s the opposite.

In today’s news, Israel’s stupid fucking genocidal rapists ran over an unexploded ordnance from their own evil carpet bombing campaign, blamed Hamas, started fucking bombing Gaza again, killed scores of civilians, and then quietly backed down on urging from Washington.

Lowkey on the lies of Israel and the US. We can't believe anything they say about Gaza.

Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

This happened over a year before the October 7 Hamas attack.
“April 2022 – Jerusalem:
Israeli occupation forces assault a Palestinian father in front of his child inside Al-Aqsa Mosque.
A painful glimpse into the daily brutality Palestinians endure, even in one of the holiest sites on earth.”

This might be unkind to say, but lit magazines demand "nothing by AI," when the poetry they choose all too often reads like AI hallucinating. Poetry should communicate, not bewilder.

My poem, "Dot," has been published in PROSETRICS: THE LITERARY MAGAZINE out of Amsterdam. The theme was "whelve," which means, "to turn (as a dish or vessel) upside down usually to cover something."
