Because of the tears that flow when some poet pulls words out of my head and my heart.

Because of the laughter that gets stolen out of me when something I know to be true gets said out-loud

Because I can get called out the loudest, and seen the clearest, in the same 3 minutes, and I love that efficiency.

Because I can see people like me, and more importantly, people NOT like me, be taken seriously, and believed without commentary (except for response poems)

Because titles like "Ode to my Strap-on" "They Day You Died Because you Wanted To", and "Lessons Learned from a Third Grader" are all beautiful, for different reasons, that are all valid.

Because when I make my own, I don't need a beat from a producer (though sometimes it helps!)

Because hearing feedback and encouragement and audience participation reminds me of church growing up

Because I gave up on church and I don't get to hear "c'mon, now" spoken by a black lady anymore.

Because Poetry is as diverse as I want the world to be.

So after a little digging, it turns out that it is in fact physically impossible to ignite the atmosphere of Earth

But on the plus side, my weekend just opened up

The rag tag band of adventurers who go on to save the world always start out by meeting at a public house. At least that’s what bards and innkeepers will tell you. #drawings #dnd

I really envy whoever’s fursona is a light blue canine with big black YCH markings on xir chest and back, they get so much free art.

My old college has become embroiled in The Great Washroom Debate, and released some helpful signage to assist people who may find themselves confused in this trying time.

You shouldn't read the comments.

But once in a while, a comment changes the way I think.

I have no idea who this person is, but they're brilliant.

Sending this to Seattle Parks and Rec's open comment email address. If you're in the Seattle Area and feel like having a safe space for everyone to enjoy swimming is a good thing, Speak up! They won't bring it back if they don't hear about it needing to exist!

Hello!

I wanted to speak up in support of the All-Gender Swim Events! I haven’t had a place to go swimming and this program was a wonderful, inclusive, and welcoming safe space for me and a lot of my friends as well! I know with the COVID-19 safety measure currently in place that having the pools open is not currently feasible. However, I want them to continue when the pools re open. So I’m writing in so that you know there is a need for this in your community and we are all grateful that this step was taken. I hope you will continue with the All Gender Swim, and I feel that the program should be expanded! This was a good thing, and I don’t want it to be dropped.
