The image here is really just an excuse for this long caption. It's the third anniversary of this poem being out in the world, but I'm sharing it for another reason.⁣ I think it's easy sometimes, in this media landscape, to see a story that's really specific and think "that's not for me," or "that's not my issue." But I really wanted to share this story (read the whole thing via the #RecommendedReading link in my linktree) because it highlights the intersection a bunch of issues that people who follow my work, or this series of posts, are probably interested in: it's about abolition, it's about disrupting gender violence, it's about the US immigration system, and it's about the power that people have to do something about all the horror in the world. All of this is related.⁣ If anyone out there is getting an early jump on Fall programming, and might be interested in performances, workshops, or residencies that use spoken word and narrative as jumping-off points for dialogue around issues related to identity, power, and counter-narrative, feel free to reach out via the "Booking" form at my website (second link in my linktree).⁣
