What food would you take to the moon? End of question. Hasn’t netted a bad answer yet.

Happy May Day to the workers of the world! Today is about joy, solidarity, and rebellion, and has been since a Black anarchist named Lucy Parsons led the country’s first May Day march in 1886. The cops called her “more dangerous than a thousand rioters.” Be dangerous, beloveds 🖤

I've survived all my worst days because of poetry. Not an exaggeration. Sometimes, you read poetry, and you feel seen. That shock of recognition is everything. Sometimes, you write poetry, and you save yourself. In myriad ways.

One of my oldest comics about appreciating snakes. The snakes are: gray-banded kingsnake, smooth greensnake, baby north american racer, timber rattlesnake.

A four-panel comic called "Things I learned from snakes." In panel 1, labeled "color coordination," there's a beautiful grey-banded kingsnake striped with reds, whites, and greys next to a woman wearing a matching dress and jacket. In panel 2, labeled "camouflage," there's a smooth greensnake in the grass next to a woman wearing greens and hiding in the grass. In panel 3, labeled "bluffing," there's a baby north american racer rattling its tail to look like a rattlesnake, next to a woman wearing a skull shirt and growling ferociously. In panel 4, labeled "behavioral thermoregulation," there's a timber rattlesnake warming itself on a rock, next to a woman warming herself in a cozy chair drinking a tea.

Ron Schreiber!!

consider the lilies


let memories be old clothes
you wore with style
you're naked now

I keep my own clothes
stored in a closet
& sometimes mend them

I wear them dirty
when I plant seeds you gave me
in a vacant field

you have I know
seeds of your own to plant
plant them

Today has been hard on a lot of my friends. And again, I am reminded that all we can do is care and love and show up for each other. Without hesitation. Care fiercely. Love wildly.
