- "... fear of heights has nothing to do with the distance from the ground or tall buildings,... it’s about our own human urge to fall when we get that far up, the knowledge that we could plummet, we could go, if we wanted. When I think about Spencer, I wonder why I didn’t choose to fall with him,..."

- This is so incredible and beautiful and sad. I love it.
- Really liked the poem 'Terminal Felicity' by @cubistoctopus.bsky.social in the latest @miraclemonocle.bsky.social ... "She whispers like the wind once whispered: / In the end, / you are the end— / the lisp before the longest dusk..."

- Reading back to get inspiration for my upcoming extracurricular at @marchrly.bsky.social and found @coriwinrock.bsky.social's essay on Hole. Rly enjoyed this! marchxness.com/thegames#/2x...

- Pumped that my extracurricular pitch for @marchxness.bsky.social was given the green light. It's going to bite! (like in a good way)
- Pleased with the latest (final?) draft of a poem I'm writing for @metmuseum.org open call for Fall 2025 issue of Metaphrastics, for ekphrastic poems on items in their Arms and Armor collection. Might even write a couple more before the Sept 15 deadline. www.metphrastics.com/submit
- I'll be spinning this a lot in the coming months. Join in! Marchxness is so much fun, and interactive.
- Awesome new poem by my friend @mariness.bsky.social
