While I was at CVS today, a woman began having a psychotic episode. Despite that she wasn’t causing harm, another customer demanded that she be kicked out. The manager responded, flatly, “We don’t discriminate against disability.” And that was that. Anti-ableism! In the wild!

i’m still so happy that my little poem about shame finally escaped from my evil lair
"Shame manifests as cute little omissions I keep. That pot of water I put on the stove boils down to nothing." —@_m1_n1, "Weird Lunch" from Wrongdoing Magazine, Issue 2 Read: wrongdoingmag.com/fall-2021

When your beloved has a stage 3 cancer, it changes your life. When she also writes amazing poems through chemo, surgery, and radiation—it’s something else entirely. I’ve never been as excited about anything I wrote as I am now about Katie’s book. If you want to preorder:
We're thrilled to announce that we are partnering with @katiefar on her debut poetry collection, STANDING IN THE FOREST OF BEING ALIVE, which is forthcoming from #alicejamesbooks in April 2023! Visit our website to learn more & preorder: cutt.ly/oW5JRyQ #booksthatmatter💘

"I know misfired neurons/ And unlucid, inescapable truths;/ But I know, too,/ That the other guy is interpreting/ All that I know." So excited to share my poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Schizo Self," which is in the latest issue of @MidAm_Review! All my love to the editors!
