I’m a day late for #smallpoemsunday but it’s my friend Isaac’s birthday and I like to think about a poem he wrote when he was 16 or 17. Isaac died in 2008 but would have been 47 today
To My Friends, on Their Birthdays When their headlights sweep across the ceiling, Cars remind me why this time is best For living, thinking, reading, hearing tires Saying hush outside the window, and beyond A dark and thoughtful park, damp and green And then a river, then a cliff, and then Another park. This world is round; if sleeping I walk a rigid line, I'll still return To where I am right now, and see how new It is each time, how unexpected. "Now" Will come again throughout our lives, and after. Our business is to think and feel, to watch, To hush, to drift apart and come together. -- Isaac Meyers

How “Fuck you” becomes a love song

Aracelis Girmay
You are who I love, throwing your hands up in agony or disbelief, shaking your head, arguing back, out loud or inside of yourself, holding close your incredulity which, yes, too, l love I love your working heart, how each of its gestures, tiny or big, stand beside my own agony, building a forest there How “Fuck you” becomes a love song You are who I love, carrying the signs, packing the lunches, with the rain on your face You at the edges and shores, in the rooms of quiet, in the rooms of shouting, in the airport terminal, at the bus depot saying “No!” and each of us looking out from the gorgeous unlikelihood of our lives at all, finding ourselves here, witnesses to each other's tenderness, which, this moment, is fury, is rage, which, this moment, is another way of saying: You are who I love You are who I love You and you and you are who

Yes. Read Ai. Still surprised by how many poets aren’t familiar with her.

working on something about reading Ai right now, what that’s feeling like. she was a brilliant writer of monologues spoken by/in conversation with the dead & the damned.

Just started reading this for the group and I can’t even tell you how badly I needed it. Whew

I’m only a few chapters in and I can tell you — if you have anything at all to do with any type of organizing, this is 100% a must

I’m taking a little pause for my health.

The giving circle continues regardless, thanks to automated contributions. Hit “weekly” or “monthly” on something sustainable, like a coffee or spare change, to help six families & a camp of fifteen more survive:

Today, as Gaza continues to be stuck in a bloody limbo, we are turning our website over to Gaza and its people in an initiative we are calling “A Day for Gaza.” There will be no pieces published on our website today that do not come directly from Gaza.
A Day for Gaza
Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

The United States, currently tear-gassing crowds, gerrymandering votes and putting children in concentration camps, has some thoughts about our election system. They can fuck off, and when they’ve done that they can fuck off a bit further.

We’re now at NINE months: all of your boldness, especially the coffees you’ve clicked “weekly” or “monthly” on, have been reliable support for twenty-one families' survival needs.
