In the 1970s, Dutch cities like Amsterdam were full of traffic and air pollution. Now they are models of sustainable urban planning. Here's the story of how the Netherlands started building their cities for humans, not cars. 🧵
This week’s Poem of the Week is “Things Exposed to the Air” by Claire Wahmanholm. Read the poem and the artist's statement here: missourireview.com/things-exposed…
Since 1978, two years after student loan debt became non-dischargeable through bankruptcy, college tuition increased by 1,120%. The system is rigged.

My latest for @NYTMag--on the under-covered phenom of "spillback," by which human pathogens cross the species barrier into the non-human world--is out! tinyurl.com/3vs4mmr6
Choosing to increase the police presence instead of decreasing poverty is just setting a ticking time bomb for the next explosion of race-class tensions in the streets. It’s just a question of who will be the next George Floyd or Breonna Taylor.
Did a little bit more than proposing
.@POTUS to U.S. Conference of Mayors: "We shouldn't be cutting funding for police departments. I propose increasing funding."
THREAD. I noticed something fascinating: around the same time in recent days, each major corporate news source began talking about a new crime hysteria: a supposed crisis of theft from the railroad industry. But if you look deeper, something very scary is happening.
IMPORTANT: RAPID TESTS DO WORK WITH OMICRON "But why are some people staying negative in the first days they have symptoms??" This is expected. Symptoms don't = contagious virus This is literally a reflection of the fact that vaccines are doing their job! PLEASE READ
Beautiful, brilliant discussion about anxiety and poetry and womanhood.
You do not need to let your art validate you. Just write your best work, send it out, take nothing personally, and love your favorite humans hard. I would love to be remembered for my poetry, but even more, I would like my friends & family to say--damn, I love her.
one of my pet peeves is the belief that a poem is just a more complicated way of saying something you could say plainly. no. at its best, every line of a poem is actually the simplest way you could say something—it’s just that the something is complicated & strange & alive.
As I read poems, so many times I think--don't veil your pain or your flaws. Be human. Observe the world around you and acknowledge the mess of yourself. As Tina Turner sang--we don't need another hero. Just be.
