There was cake with A Cruelty's cover image. Sigh😭💗💗 https://t.co/2AKJOHvPpO I’m not apologizing
when I offer my head to the leash
of your hands, but kneeling
at your waist, a part of me
is always saying sorry to my mother.

@aaww #poetrytuesday https://t.co/s19cSsSYMX it’s not fair
that these days, missing me
is the only way of loving
me that I give to my mother.

https://t.co/s19cSsSYMX Can you believe!? @aaww is 30 (as am I lol)!🎂3 decades of work dedicated to building an Asian/diasporic space for solidarity, community & literature. I'm proud to have begun as an events intern & continue to be a part of this great org as the poetry editor. #AAWWat30 @minyoungleeis @AntonHur Ooh… did not know this 😬😬😬😬😬😬 Like. The name Lee Jeong-Jae would conjure this kind of image https://t.co/0Mv2yPpfmL Do non-Koreans watching Squid Game know that Lee Jeong-jae (who plays Seong Gi-hoon) is known as this…handsome and charismatic actor? Who looks great in suits??? I was a marbled teal bobbing
in the unnamed water
when I was neither dead nor alive, I preferred it
to this sterile heaven
to this revolving concert of faces.

starved with the urgency of the living—god
of water, of electricity, of rooftop sleep
in summer’s unend, what remains there?
@Joualt
@aaww https://t.co/epcc5qv8A1 the cocktail of alarm and amusement upon finding that I typed "shitting ground" instead of "shifting ground" in a dissertation chapter right before sending it to my advisor............... The word “fluffy” is fluffy itself @Danez_Smif That bothered me too, especially/also because so many responses to the film were centered on Alan Kim, kind of extending the disregard of the sister character @JihyunYun2nd Ooh! Ooh! And a lesser known gem is 멋진 하루 (My Dear Enemy). Dongju is a really beautiful film, too, and chronicles the life of the colonial-era poet Yun Dong-ju @JihyunYun2nd Omg Poetry is so devastating 😭 These are a bit older but have you seen 집으로 (Way Back Home) and 시월애 (Il Mare)? I also recommend 써니 (Sunny) & 건축학개론 (Architecture 101) if you haven’t seen, and second some other commenters’ suggestion, Little Forest! @samforbreakfast Omg yay!!😭😭😭💕I love this poem!!!! I mastered the art
of deflection, of hiding
my kin, embodying the color of my skin.

@aaww https://t.co/Kiv8KPfF08 You couldn’t call me
sinner. In my country—
in my country (I repeat)
I was glorified meat,
white man’s legacy
inviting all manner of gawking.

https://t.co/Kiv8KPfF08 Something shocked me into the shape
of girl. I tore at the pearls around my neck
and sang my body into lone
mercy.

I'm like... jealous / can't fathom having any energy after writing just one I should change my name to Emaily Yoon since I spend 89.73% of my time for emailing @sebastianparamo Here’s a Gary we caught and released today… he was barely an inch long! https://t.co/sAzHynpzZ1 David and I named all the geckos Gary so we're frequently saying things like \"Gary's in the crack between the fridge and the counter,\" \"Quick, give me a container so I can trap Gary,\" \"Is this Gary a baby,\" & we're just a Little House of the Garies @brownroundboi Happy birthday, love!!! Sounds like you had a wonderful day! !! Thank you so much for listening! 🥰 @RichieHof we are cut from the same velvet @RichieHof Miss you too!! I know you're a true friend when you respond like this to a tweet confessing that I'm a jerk lol I lost one follower right after tweeting this, I guess that's fair enough *When a mosquito bites my husband*"
Me: Aren't you glad that at least it wasn't me? :) :) lolol suckerrrr or more like a sucker got to you!!! lolol
Husband: ...
*When a mosquito bites me*
Me: WHY ME? WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAPPEN TO ME
Husband: ... @robottomulatto nooooo! Don't you love when you have various types of work on your plate but there's always the One Most Important Project, and it never feels like you did enough or ANY work at the end of the day if you didn't get around to/do much of that One The dead sparrows are forgotten.
Heat enters the tiny room like electricity
sieving bodies from one another.

I reveal my lacking. What can be more human than
such naked imperfection?

I have mixed feelings about outdoor cats because I'm concerned for their safety as well as wildlife's, but I do like spending 20 minutes petting this really friendly kitty on my walk while my legs go numb from squatting for that long Is that you on this zucchini, #Caillou? #facesinthings https://t.co/GlaA6L73cj Coat your lip with pulp and sugar
from tea boiled in the copper pot I loved
to bruise over patient flames. The ginger
sharp and sweet, will permeate our palm’s
ravines.
