I'm not sure how to word this but, there is a heck of a lot of communicable virus floating around in the air in indoor spaces in the US right now. Vaccines are awesome but I rarely see an important key to actually preventing transmission/infection mentioned:

N95 masks are very good. please consider

i am a known hater and i don't think people have to like every piece of art that exists but i do resent the irony poisoned minds that feel the need to tear down overly sincere work that didn't resonate with them

The same screenshot of Dean and Castiel sitting in a car from 5.14 of Supernatural repeated. The top text says "where is your hunger, dean?" The bottom text reads "Where is your copy of The Hungering Years, Dean?" with the new words and letters crudely added in pink.

Call it a close shave if you want, but here's my 2025 Recommended Reading list. Grateful for all the poets & for @hanvanderhart.bsky.social for encouraging folks a year ago to do small press-only lists! Last time was so fun, I had to do it again 😎

Yay it's so nice to see people reading my chapbook still in its second year !!!! and this little blurb makes it sound so awesome honestly
The cycles of video game play and resistance/revolution structure Summer Farah’s chapbook I Could Die Today and Live Again, built around the characters and conceits of Legend of Zelda. These poems leverage some of the key motifs of recent and classic Zelda games — battles fought over generations, lost champions, lost land, the reset of “blood moons” — to talk about Palestinian identity and resistance against empire and annihilation. Farah’s poems defy conventional use of the page space, with words turning sideways, crowding in a multigenerational cacaphony, or forming the Triforce symbol. The familiar NPC refrain “Do you need me to repeat that?” recurs through the book with the power to make you laugh, then gasp, then cry. Do yourself a favor and read up now — Farah’s first full length collection is forthcoming in 2026.
