The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.
(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)

Just read Justin Torres' We the Animals. Love when a book is so good it leaves you thinking, "Oh yeah. This is why books exist."

love this poem by Hannah Gamble
Leisure, Hannah, Does Not Agree with You (2)
My house disgusted me, so I slept in a tent. My tent disgusted me, so I slept in the grass.

I remember that online post lamenting the embarrassment of being an adult figuring out social/emotional dynamics that others grasped as children, but as corny as it sounds I find it uplifting to remember that learning is never finished and life in adulthood can still change and improve.

Generally speaking, people enjoy learning, challenging themselves, and contributing to the world; the preferred degree of intensity may vary, but when people are physically and mentally well, they *like* to do things. Working towards goals that align with one's values feels rewarding.

Thinking about how everyone has a unique way of experiencing thought (some more linear, some more associative, different speeds and rhythms, different relationships to visualization and language) can be overwhelming but it's also beautiful. Corny sentiment but everyone really is irreplaceable.

I love how poetry reminds you that people have so many different emotional ranges and ways of experiencing cognition. It's such a privilige to be granted that entry to the rhythms and textures of someone's thoughts.
