If God didn't want me to use the em dash, why did he enshrine it in nature? In the horizon line—the lightning-harrowed bough—the canyon's pink striation—the pupil of the goat

Last year, I found out I was very slowly going blind in one eye. I did what anyone would have done: wrote a story about the horror of being seen and about AI going to therapy. Now that story is in the world. Huge thanks to @MiaAArmstrong and team for shepherding this piece!

This past winter, I was invited to read a poem at @UMich President Santa Ono's inauguration and given the impression that I could determine the poem's content. I pitched a poem about my single mother returning to college in her 40s as a non-traditional student. 🧵

One of the most surreal videos of the entire resistance to anti-trans laws this year. Members of the gallery get arrested while shouting "trans lives matter" as Rep. Stevenson delivers a scathing rebuke on the House Floor. "Somebody will have to atone!"

We have a situation. My daughter's beloved cat Zelda was found after being missing for about four years. Excellent news, except that she was found about 600 miles away in Elko, NV. Our car won't survive that trip without some repairs, even if the newborn could handle it. Ideas?
