Please check out Ms. AWashington’s academic paper, which has real world import and includes vital action steps. The difference between performative allyship and true allyship is highlighted with distinguishing qualities and helpful examples. Important, engaging, inspiring!

Undead Timing 🔽

Undead Timing

Lets be candid October:
the spirits arrive beaming split eggs demands-hungry being; abused by slow erosion; hush unspoken.

The equinox shifts hoodoo workers lay tricks blessings equal treats-mantras in moonlight magnities crossroads.

Wicked righteous undead come knock; veil wears thin haints wail; we set tables light candles, pour libations.

October doesn't scare us.
It's when undead power
comes -home to roost.

Ritual Circuits

A #nightmarish city's
calcified veneer
concrete veins
pulse rotten rage.
The ritual drums
#black-widow
summon entities
beyond the cage.
Encoded spirits dance
through fiber-lines.
Consume data—
feed off our dread.

something special-
give me deja vu-
remind of the girl

become

This country is not “woke” they seem to be intoxicated dream-state.

Why aren’t people moving accordingly to this regime. They are deep on strategems to a “Gilead”. Ask yourself folx“ who are you in the dynamic‼️ I know who they are.

I guess I’d be a; “Martha”! In their eyes and “June” in mine.

Ms. AWashington M.A. artist | poet | writer @arwashington.bsky.social · 1d

Makes sense. I take it that the OP was saying if it doesn’t intimidate you to put yourself out there; then perhaps it’s not really ready?

But yes, thievery is an issue esp on social media. I just hope if someone who knows my work and sees it elsewhere will tag me or call out the perp. 🤩

Ms. AWashington M.A. artist | poet | writer @arwashington.bsky.social · 1d

Oh ok 👌🏽 I really don’t judge on those standards — as I like many forms of poetry formations; silly-clever-classic, beatnik, SLAM and cipher. It’s all has its placements.

Im check you out. Feel feee to connect. 🍄

Ms. AWashington M.A. artist | poet | writer @arwashington.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely 💯

Ms. AWashington M.A. artist | poet | writer @arwashington.bsky.social · 1d

Interesting 🧐 I’m never scared
or hesitant post anything I write.
Esp poetry.

I’m anxious or hesitant because many ppl plagiarize and steal others artistry. I’m write op-ed about that.

I’m grateful for loyal following,
but I don’t get much traffic
either way.

What’s y’all/your experience?
