Real advances so the only money circulating isn't from grants and awards. Real spaces outside of academia to work in ways that engage with poetry and literature and pay a living wage. Poets willing to start our own shit and not wait to be vetted by awards.

Yt people protesting for Black lives in neighborhoods they stole and colonized. Hope they know after we abolish police we want our land back.
what do y'all think? poets are the legislators of the world, and we are the revolutionaries that must imagine potential spaces of unabashed freedom and collective care. writing does not have to be so solitary. "start living like we are in the world we want to make" -@JessRiz

I got tired of seeing "Poets for Bernie," so now we're Poets for Socialism @SocialistPoets. Unfollow us if you must. RT us if you must. The revolution is here, and poets must be revolutionaries.

The support I've received from @PoetryFound over the last few years (including funding @Vsthepodcast) has brought joy and stability into my life. But I (and many others) are pledging to cut ties with them until certain demands are met. Read + sign below.

Abolish the Police. Defund the police and use the funds for reparations.

In med school, I took an elective called "Stress", foolishly thinking I was going to learn about meditation and yoga. Instead the professor spent 6 weeks proving that being poor or a minority literally destroys your health on a molecular level, and I think about that every day.
