WHEN I AM ASKED

When I am asked how I began writing poems, I talk about the indifference of nature.

It was soon after my mother died, a brilliant June day, everything blooming.

I sat on a gray stone bench in a lovingly planted garden, but the daylilies were as deaf as the ears of drunken sleepers, and the roses curved inward. Nothing was black or broken and not a leaf fell, and the sun blared endless commercials for summer holidays.

I sat on a gray stone bench ringed with the ingenue faces of pink and white impatiens and placed my grief in the mouth of language. the only thing that would grieve with me.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Saw this earlier in the week on TikTok.

But oooft! This is one of the reasons I’ve not verified my age anywhere on socials. There’s no knowing what will happen with that info once they have it, even if they weren’t meant to retain it.

I was just having this conversation but about music. A lot of experiences are packaged as nostalgia for something old, but a new book (or album or film etc) can't make you feel like you're STILL 16 or 22 and know nothing of what's to come. It's not a flaw with the work. It's not a problem at all.

They say they want new things in fantasy, then authors from marginalized groups do new things, but they don't like that, they want the new thing to be like the old thing except new.

What they really want is a book to rewind time and make them young again, something no book or anything else can do.

Proposition for renaming the "Kitchener" stitch to sth more knitting specific than "grafting"

It's about time to take the ACs out of the windows, so it's time to get #knitting 🧶

If you're sick of scarves but scared of sweaters

Or if you just want a tasty one-day dopamine hit

May I suggest bike helmet ear warmers?

Makes fall/winter cycling more pleasant!

So does that mean it's possible to add larger cylinders on an existing machine? Like swapping it for the one with 48needles?
I have been looking at the Addi kingsize model or the prym one, and they looked quite fixed.
