- Reposted by Dylan Brennan“…what will the cops smell like this morning…” Tim MacGabhann’s poetry collection from @bansheepress.bsky.social is a rare work that is actually NEEDED badly in times like these. And on the level of the line, really original and fresh.

- My building looks onto the first house Leonora Carrington lived at (with husband, the poet Renato Leduc), in Mexico City. It was also the first Soviet embassy. Now it appears to be an events venue.
- Renato Leduc bust a few blocks away. Marrying a Mexican citizen was the only way for Carrington to safely leave Mexican embassy in Portugal. Leduc obliged.
