This might be unkind to say, but lit magazines demand "nothing by AI," when the poetry they choose all too often reads like AI hallucinating. Poetry should communicate, not bewilder.

Two poems in the debut issue of LUMINAURA Magazine: "A New Life" luminauramag.com/vol1/poetry/... and "Something New" luminauramag.com/vol1/poetry/... — both on the magazine's theme: "Genesis." The editors did a bang-up job.

I suspect a lot of the ceremony around Kirk is an attempt to leverage Christian nationalist symbology in order to convey the messianic fervor of MAGA from Trump to Vance.

My poem, "Dot," has been published in PROSETRICS: THE LITERARY MAGAZINE out of Amsterdam. The theme was "whelve," which means, "to turn (as a dish or vessel) upside down usually to cover something."

Saving America from Trump and preserving our democracy explicitly requires that people who voted for Trump change their mind. Which in turn requires that those who didn’t vote for Trump show grace and empathy to those whose change of heart came from being hurt by the guy they voted for…

I'm old enough
to remember

when the lOF
crushed 23-year old U.S. citizen
Rachel Corrie
to death
with a bulldozer,

then celebrated with pancakes that had her face on them.

Not a single
U.S. legislator acknowledged
Israel's murder
of Rachel Corrie,
or agreed to
meet her parents.

"Musk is a greedy kleptocrat whose life’s work boils down to stealing from the poor to pad his own bottom line. That’s his legacy. He could’ve changed the world for the better; he had every resource available to him to do so. Instead, he made it markedly worse."

As Musk's time in the White House comes to an end, let's be clear about his legacy.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.

Does that sound fair to you?

After 7+ weeks in hospital incarceration, I'm finally going home to see Wystan, who will not give a fig, I suspect. But I'm looking forward to seeing him anyway.

The DNC cares more about stopping David Hogg than stopping Andrew Cuomo right now. People are finally opening their eyes and seeing this party serves the parasite class, just like the Republicans. It's an irredeemable outfit that will commit genocide and then blame us for losing.

@washingtonpost: Nearly 60,000 people in the United States will lose their federal housing assistance years before they anticipated.

The Emergency Housing Vouchers program was supposed to last through 2030, but funding will probably run out sometime next year.

The arrogance of z10nists again trying to use the threat of fake antisemitism to claim some sort of immunity to all laws, regulations, requests & instruction.....

Big up the Canadian Police for arresting the m0f0. Hope he gets some attitude readjustment down at the station....
