We! Never! Stopped! Getting! COVID!!!! What the actual SHIT is this headline?????? There has never been a time, in the last 4.5 godforsaken years, when we didn't have people getting COVID!!!

A seasonal wave of #Covid is sweeping across the U.S., driven by the FLiRT variants, a trio of the latest #SARSCoV2 mutants making the rounds. So no, it's not your imagination. People are getting Covid again www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Yep, people are getting COVID againwww.seattletimes.com A seasonal COVID-19 wave appears to be underway with cases growing or likely growing in 39 states.

“Almost the entire population”

Nearly 2 million people have been displaced in Gaza – almost the entire population – after the Israeli military last week ordered a further 80,000 people to evacuate parts of Gaza City amid a renewed ground operation, the latest UN figures show.

Thanks to those who joined @utranmyhre.bsky.social and I for the "you never zine alone" workshop. A quick followup: 1. Let's continue to support the fundraiser for Abdullah's family (it's halfway there!): gofund.me/b54aa216 2. If you missed the event, here's the handout: bit.ly/zinewritingprompts

"you can’t deny the video of three grown adults restraining a 13 year old kid and then shooting him in the chest while another is punching and sitting on top of him." www.justicefornyah.com

"A community organizer, Yadana Oo, said the family had fled from persecution and into refugee camps. 'To come here and to lose your child that way, it makes you question,' she said. 'Did we run from one persecutor to another?'"

13-Year-Old Boy Shot and Killed by Police After Chasewww.nytimes.com Officers in Utica, N.Y., believed the boy had brandished a handgun. The police chief said on Saturday that it was a pellet gun.

Evergreen pitch for this kind of workshop is that I encourage people who *aren't* poets to consider it. Songwriters, emcees, fiction writers, of course—but also comms people, activists and movement folks looking to expand their toolkit, etc. The stuff we'll be exploring relates to more than poetry:

I'll be facilitating a six-week online course starting July 6 exploring future-focused poetry through the lens of science fiction and the “anthemic” impulse: writing that invites us in, calls us to action, and illuminates what is possible. Register here: buttonpoetry.com/product/butt...

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

If you've made it to the end of this thread, my only request is that you share it with others. So many people suffered because of this denialism, and it frankly burns me up that this dark legacy has been made to disappear without a fuss. www.motherjones.com/politics/200...

This Tuesday (6/18) w/ me and @utranmyhre.bsky.social: a virtual fundraiser for a family in Gaza + zine workshop with a BTS theme (you don't have to be a fan but fans are encouraged to attend). It'll be a space to share some zine tools, resources, writing prompts and more: bit.ly/zineswitharmy

So much of my work is not public-facing; it happens at schools, organizations, behind-the-scenes, etc. So I'm excited to share a few summer workshop opportunities (on spoken word, zine-making, and beyond) that have open registration: guante.info/2024/06/08/n...

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Goddamn, darlings. **points**

the CDC is again trying to limit the 2024-25 booster availability to provably immunocompromised and elderly people. they’re taking written comments through the 17th. please take a minute to let them know boosters should be available to all who want them: www.regulations.gov/commenton/CD...

I've been listening to this "dark academia" station and somehow it felt really nostalgic and I realized it's because it's similar to the Land Before Time soundtrack

Omg: "Those who oppose the project keep moving the goal posts, said Ben Stewart, pastor of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Two Harbors. Some complaining about potential noise also say their own gun range activity will disrupt retreat-goers, he said."
