I have been in need of a service dog for quite some time so that I can go places with constant tactile and emotive psychiatric support, protection for/from paranoia, etc. I have been waiting and waiting and, finally, I found my little-big girl (she'll be HUGE, lol). Meet Molly❤️

thankful to have a poem from my BDM (big dumb manuscript) out today 💙 panpanpress.com/La-Jolla-Shore…

Today, I received a wonderful piece of mail--my copy of Laurel Review's latest issue where my poem "Animal Bones" appears. I am so grateful to John Gallaher and co. for generously welcoming me into their wonderfully crafted space, placing me amidst so many incredible writers💛.

Acceptance from Allium✅ Hired as a librarian already ✅Finals done ✅ Cuban cigars ✅ Graduating with third Master’s tomorrow ✅😎

I JUST HAD AN ACADEMIC ESSAY ACCEPTED BY A LIBRARY SCIENCE JOURNAL!! I will now have publications in every field I study in—holy shit!😎😎😎

While I was at CVS today, a woman began having a psychotic episode. Despite that she wasn’t causing harm, another customer demanded that she be kicked out. The manager responded, flatly, “We don’t discriminate against disability.” And that was that. Anti-ableism! In the wild!

Waited to share this until I got back from my honeymoon (which was incredible!): on the trip, I found out that a schizophrenic poem of mine was accepted by The Rupture!!! I have long admired the work they put out and the wonderful writers I have encountered therein. I'm stoked!!!

So thrilled to share my new work in the latest from @reedmagazine!! Working with Ume Naqvi Ali and everyone at @reedmagazine was such a pleasure and I am so thankful for all of their support and for believing in my work. I truly hope that you enjoy! reedmag.org/poetry-seeds-o…

One of my absolute favs from Reed Magazine Issue 155! 🤩 If you haven’t already, check out Jake’s beautiful, arresting piece! For more web exclusives visit reedmag.org! @reedmagazine Jake Bailey

I have adored @TheRuptureMa ever since I began reading their issues when I started out in poetry. I never thought that I would see my words housed within their wonderful space, BUT my poem "Schizo as a Caveless Bear" is in the latest issue and I am so excited to share it!! 💛

So happy I checked the mail today--I received my copy of Persuasions, the Jane Austen journal for the Jane Austen Society of North America! This is the first of three academic articles that I have forthcoming and it feels dope for another aspect of me to manifest on the page 😎

There was a shooting near us in Highland Park, IL during a parade, a celebration, a coming together of communities. Innocent people are dead, dozens are injured, horror is manifest. My father’s reaction when I told him it was likely an AR-15? “Some people need them.” Fuck him.
