So January Just Keeps Happening to Us

This is edition of the newsletter is about surviving.

1. I left Meta apps early and you can find me on Bluesky.

2. Read No Promises, a stunning piece by Allison Field Bell in the Chestnut Review (CW: domestic violance.)

3. Spitting Off the Edge of the World is one of my favorite songs. I mean, it’s Yeah Yeah Yeahs + Perfume Genius, so.

4. Check out Rifqa by Mohammed El-Kurd, a gorgeous and challenging collection of poetry. 🍉 Consider donating to PCRF, please. 🍉

5. A note that Trans Lifeline won’t call the cops if you or someone you know is in crisis. I love you, please stay with us.

6. I wrote a poem about raccoons and birds.
