Instead of “going public,” you could say we’re “going purpose.” Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

Big thanks to @GodzillaKent and @BetaRish for including my poem in this anthology for @brokensleep! I've spent a lot of time writing AFX-inspired poems over the years and couldn't believe it when this got announced. Humbled to be involved.

Another hidden talent of the @riutbag X35 - board game transit! Perfect size for an Azul-size box, plus a bunch of smaller games. Thanks @SarahGiblin!

How do you explain a mystery? This opaque mythology is something that pervades a lot of the poems here, inspired by the sideways, the askew, the fables of Aphex Twin.

We've been given the opportunity to give a copy of Aaron Kent's Collected Pamphlets to 2 x no/low-income people.
If you want a copy, and haven't been able to afford it, drop us a DM. No proof necessary.
Any other poets out there also runners? I'm finding the space/time to think really helps feed my writing
Got a poem in this lovely autumnal collection. Cheers to Red Penguin for the opportunity.
