"So ... do you just, like, go home after work and write?" - my coworker, perplexed, after finding out I'm a poet

Some friends nominated for me as Best Poet in KC this year in @TheFastPitch - with your vote I could win! #WritingCommmunity #poetrytwitter vote.thepitchkc.com/arts-and-enter…

This is a love letter to the local library which this morning let me access an article for free that would have been behind a $35 paywall otherwise 😭

Got a fun text from a friend today regarding: youtu.be/qZYq5w7HtRE

Poets and writers who are also organizers: I’m putting together a panel for #AWP 2024 in Kansas City. DM me if interested. #WritingCommmunity

Google's suggested responses to my latest rejection email have a spectrum

This summer. Get ready for some hot takes.

@Bob_Sykora_ Oof lmao

the desperation is yikes

Left my car at the auto shop and just realized there are several books about vampires and Godzilla in my passenger seat 😅

Low key love that pulling my metal water bottle out of my bag sounds like I’m unsheathing a sword in a B action/fantasy film.

Got a lil tipsy and wrote 3 new poems about Buffy, the MCU, and Godzilla. We'll see if they're good tomorrow...

Found an unfortunately located hole in my favorite jeans. Please respect my privacy in this time of grief*. *buying new jeans as a petite femme 😭

@CSantiagoTV1 I was 💯 looking at one for at work because our office is an icebox 😂

@Applestoabby My boss got me a coffee mug warmer for my birthday. 10/10 would recommend.

Today’s energy: Made coffee. Poured coffee. Sat coffee cup NEXT TO ME at my desk. And still forgot about it until it was cold.

The gender of the day is a boundless vampire in a ruined estate.

Man spreading is not just legs on the subway. It’s also 2 guys taking up 6 seats in the small coffee shop and having a conversation that everyone can hear.

That specific grief when a dnd campaign falls apart bc of scheduling and it was your first time being DM.

Jellybean. Buttercup. Cocoa. The 3 dogs that live in my building. No, of course I don’t know their owners’ names.
