poised as flames on candlewicks,
but under earth I

know you’re a heavy
dark mass

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

These came and I wasn't quite expecting them yet and it's a small oddity of the writing life that a stranger will come to your door and hand you what you've been working on for years.
