Just got the Arc Hive link for my two poems at @press_roi! Go enjoy, ghosted and here's how gods die! roifaineantarchive.wixsite.com/rf-arc-hive/po…

@jombleshr1mps @TorraineWalker Rough Francis is on social media too! instagram.com/roughfrancis/

@TorraineWalker Mfs learn about death twice a year and it's like Christmas for me. Like yesss listen to death and rough francis please. Somebody else do the really long YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH in their car until they're purple in the face so I'm not the only one

There's a documentary on Netflix about these pioneers titled "A Band Called Death" I urge all fans of music history to watch. They had the opportunity to sign a major record deal but they wouldn't change their name. Fast forward 10 years and heavy, aggressive nihilistic punk/metal was a multimillion dollar industry.

@matthewbdexter @brecht_dp I'm going to be thinking about "proof of life and reset the simulation" all day. OMG 🤣

@brecht_dp You're a likable literary submitter. Some literary journal editors loathe me and want me dead. I show up in their inboxes merely to provide proof of life and reset the simulation. 🙃

My 8th form rejection from the Adroit Journal. I'll give myself 2 more lives before I call it Game Over.

@aliner He looks like my college housemate.

Exorbitant wealth usually makes people unattractive to me but Alexander Onassis (who died young in a plane crash) is the exception.

@aliner @ae_stallings I see multitasking with mind, body, and soul. Thanks for sharing that.

@ae_stallings She must. :) I also wonder if this is playing into the signum triciput

A piece I love by Louise Bourgeois: this simple lithograph titled "The Bad Mother" (1997)... with its three-headed momster and the little girl gripping her thigh intently, unaware that she too may become a bad mother. No other like the m/others we make.

@TheOutrider88 @Hot_Pepper76 I saw them in '81, they were great but not *that* great.

@Hot_Pepper76 U2 at 3?! 🤣 Tell me you’re a boomer with poor taste in music without telling me you’re a boomer with poor taste in music

The 50 best bands of all time according to Rolling Stone magazine. Who got left out, and which band is ranked a little too high?

@BeckyLTuch And the rejection letter will inevitably contain a sentence inviting you to submit again the next time.

Who pays $100 to enter a flash fiction contest?!?

@5By5Creativity @Brocklesnitch And the best Terminator.

@Brocklesnitch I once rode in a hotel lift with Shirley Manson. What an excellent person.

I always forget to look at threads but I just did and thank god because Garbage read my article

@AgathaChocolats Mom, I found Flatland.

In six words or fewer, write a story about this photo. #sixwordstory #WritingCommunity #dogs

@peterhook @rockhall @joydivision @neworder Finally!, and congratulations!!

What an honour - thank you! See you at the ceremony… @rockhall @joydivision @neworder

@mgnchols 👋

I’d love to be connected with poets who began writing/publishing in their 50s - either after a long break or for the first time. I've an article idea brewing!

@FatimaIsabel__ @TVandme__ @notcapnamerica "I gotta pee." LOL

@TVandme__ @notcapnamerica “That is SO extra” though 😂😂😂

Oops. 🤭

@yilmazke @NASA @fjlopezm11 @CBP They're nutella-ing us everything.

@NASA @fjlopezm11 @cbp Are they allowed to bring back the Nutella jar?

Hi, @NASA, Is there a protocol regarding passports when returning to earth? Thanks so much.

@brecht_dp I didn't write forward for years and regret that. So much better to just get it down, and then deal with it. Also have fun doing it.

I'm trying to follow the advice and write this first draft without editing too much. I worry I will eventually regret this... but anyway, I have nearly 6000 words now!

@AngelaTopping @SaffronKim The teacher and classmates in my typing class did not like it when I said I didn't want to be a secretary, I wanted to have a secretary. No insult to secretaries, just not for me.

@SaffronKim I said writer, and was told to be a secretary. I walked out, saying you can't help me then. Because I am going to be a writer, a poet. Well I did it.

1972 School careers advisor: “What would you like to be?” Me, aged 14: “A journalist (foreign correspondent), an astronaut, or an actor.” Careers advisor: “Have you considered nursing?” That’s what us girls were up against.

@poetjohncompton Congratulations, John!!

i got this email this morning from my publisher. yes, i was in shock, & crying—my first time ever being nominated for an award! [i will be nominated for "The Thom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry" also but my publisher already told me that]—the national book award was a surprise!

@Phil_Lewis_ They took away Boblo, and now want to do the same to Belle Isle.

A rich developer has proposed transforming Detroit’s historic Belle Isle park into a ‘self-sustaining city for up to 50,000 people, a global hub like Dubai or Singapore’

@where_is_my_rum @ParveenKaswan They blow bubbles in their feeders and on the tips of their beaks too.

@ParveenKaswan Hummingbirds Fly Backwards...

Hit me with the craziest wildlife facts you know about !!

@brecht_dp Tiktok tells me that students are asking it to put in errors that would be an average mistake of that aged student to try to fool teachers.

People now prompting ChatGPT: Can you remove the em dashes and make it sound less like AI? 😅

@sadarlo1 I haven't had great baklava in far too long, not sure I ever had it filled with cream.

@vickymharris It’s really good.

Iftar things: working on the last pieces of this GIGANTIC tray of cream-filled pistachio baklava from Paradise, a Jordanian bakery in Brooklyn. I’m lactose intolerant but I will prevail. 🫡
