I am moving back, for the foreseeable future, to CIEL BLEU.

Make the bloated polticians shut up and sit down with real work and stop thinking a party with no soul is your only mouthpiece.

What alarms me, stepping into this new era, is that Americans aren’t in the habit of caring for anyone but themselves, individually, and so we are ill-prepared to do the work that must be done. We are spiritually and emotionally deficient, if the last year hadn’t proven it.

Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer que notre association devient officiellement la « Société des ami•e•s d’Hélène Bessette ». Nous conservons notre appellation d’origine : Gang du Roman Poétique, en éternel hommage à notre Romancière, car, le saviez-vous ? 🧵⤵️

I just can't believe I'm spending my thirties making sure my friends don't die in childbirth.

I have been asked on two different networks and by two different male hosts today whether abortion rights are as important to women as the economy. I can't say it more clearly: reproductive freedom is economic freedom. They are intrinsically intwined, as every woman knows.

« Les femmes n’ont besoin ni de maîtres religieux, ni de maîtres militaires ». J'étais au rassemblement en soutien à #AhouDaryaei, étudiante iranienne battue et arrêtée par la «police des mœurs» et pour la libération des femmes emprisonnées en Iran. Femme, Vie, Liberté !

Election night in Paris! Our friends at Ivy Writers have organized an extraordinary event tonight, featuring performances by an all-star lineup of expats, including @chapp010, @AGraceColor, @KristinDSanders and more. Don't miss it! At Delaville Cafe, from 19h30

For my fortieth birthday, I took myself on a solo trip to Venice. Part I of the two-part essay I’ve been writing about the experience is now live on Spiritual Material. (📷 Elisa Maria)

I voted blue in Alabama.

Thank you, @Dalai_Mama_ , for the incredible experience of hearing your work and meeting your artistic universe last night. Your movement through research and poem-making as a continuation of the vast legacy of Black ecologies and literary expressions is completely inspiring.

Tonight, with @Dalai_Mama_. 19h30, Rerenga Wines in the 10th. 🪩🖤

I wonder what we’re doing suggesting people “think of it as buying me a coffee” instead of saying “PAY WRITERS.”

That is the question that is being wept through the tears of Antigone. It is more than a question, for a question doesn't cry, but it is perhaps the origin of all questions. And it is the question of the foreigner -- of the foreign woman. - Anne Dufourmantelle

The old, real but restless defiant favor of this place. I’m sad to go.

Poem of the gondolas.

@jstoneking Aw, thank you so much, Jason. La bise.

@chapp010 Brilliant work as always, Carrie ✨

“Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Thong” is a poem I published in August via Spiritual Material: Musings from My Second-Hand, Parisian Wardrobe. Here is a recording of it: youtube.com/watch?v=n0jHm7…

@nahhhlina Will go looking for you there!

my username there @/vibedigest if you want to alert me to your presence that way! i subscribe to many of your newsletters, but now trying to follow everyone on the app & make a curated ~feed~ since my inbox is mess & i don't want to read in the same place where bills &etc. are)

lemme know if you're on 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑐𝑘 so i can find you?? the really missing the "old internet" zeitgeist really resonates with me. just reading/lurking for now, trying to resist the urge to make noise just to make noise, but it feels more my speed (livejournal/tumblr girlie)
