Mostly #blind nerd from California. I'm here for #accessibility. I love books, anime, singing, and fanfiction. She/her
When I left home for my evening choir practice, I felt great. Now that I'm here? Not so much.
It's one of those late nights when I want to curl up in a ball and press control+alt+delete on my brain.
Today is the first day of what is supposed to be my final semester of grad school!

Seems like a good time to repost this:

I wish the #PoetryCommunity was more like the #WritingCommunity because I see writers of stories talk about their characters and plot lines and have discussions but I don’t know how to find that within the poetry community.

I see a lot of #poetry written and shared, which is lovely, and #prompts that poets can #engage with, but I don’t see the #discussions about what people are writing or #questions asking #poets about what they are writing.

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places or expecting something that doesn’t exist. I get so discouraged from sharing my poetry because there is no engagement with it beyond a like or a rarer boost.

Even when I comment on someone else’s work, there is rarely much of a response.

Where are the people who want to talk about poetry and not just write it or read it?

if you carve a pumpkin in September it’s called premature ejackolantern I will not be taking questions
@TechEnthusiast it's like that in California too. Oddly enough, I have experienced rain in Vegas during a brief summer storm.
@Pawpower aw, that really sucks about the lack of accessible thermometers. I hope you feel better soon!
@desertstar84 cool, but stay safe!

The Kids Online Safety Act would wreck the internet as we know it and cause widespread censorship of LGBTQIA+ discussions. This article from Ars Technica is a great explanation — this bill could pass in the *next few weeks* so it's urgent to let your Senators know that you oppose it.

The Kids Online Safety Act isn’t all right, critics say

Critics warn KOSA could trigger widespread censorship, privacy concerns.
