I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

i suppose i am obligated to repost this, as we say using our bodies, with

"A Story About the Body"
Robert Hass

The young composer, working that summer at an artist's colony, had watched her for a week. She was Japanese, a painter, almost sixty, and he thought he was in love with her. He loved her work, and her work was like the way she moved her body, used her hands, looked at him directly when she made amused or considered answers to his questions. One night, walking back from a concert, they came to her door and she turned to him and said, "I think you would like to have me. I would like that too, but I must tell you I have had a double mastectomy," and when he didn't understand, "I've lost both my breasts." The radiance that he had carried around in his belly and chest cavity--like music--withered, very quickly, and he made himself look at her when he said, "I'm sorry. I don't think I could." He walked back to his own cabin through the pines, and in the morning he found a small blue bowl on the porch outside his door. It looked to be full of rose petals, but he found when he picked it up that the rose petals were on top; the rest of the bowl--she must have swept them from the corners of her studio--was full of dead bees.

Erica Hunt, Reader we were meant to meet

Touch, reader, we were meant to touch
to exchange definitions and feed the pulse of language. I promise if you step in it will propel you, me, it: topple distinctions
ease doubt and belief, and all that in between.

one out of three ain't bad

one of the two latest hot rat summer mosaics entitled hot rat mother. a white and gray rat in a blue gown and a pink tail looks upward at a crow. a single tear falls from her eye. her head is surrounded by a halo.

“As text. As theory. As the smallest linguistic part of a word. As the material basis of the soul. Still, text. Pure text, washed away by the sea. Private language; between the self and the Other. Between a body and another. Between the veil and what it obscures. Between structure and syntax.”
