#ClipOfTheDay: “I know I can be long-winded sometimes. / I want so badly to rub the sponge of gratitude / over every last thing...” During this holiday week, watch Ross Gay read his poem “Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude." https://at.pw.org/49Szp0u

I stopped using Twitter before it became X and am incredibly rusty at this... but, alas! Vibes feel fresh over here!
I'll be here fighting my cynicism, likely in the realms of US policy, digital organizing, poetry/publishing/small presses, etc✨

Daniel Penny was acquitted today.
“Neely was yelling about being hungry and thirsty, saying he was prepared to be jailed – sometimes considered a better alternative to sleeping on the streets – or die, which others, or at least the one who choked him to death, seem to have interpreted as a threat.”
