@ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialExcellent! I've been postcarding too, but I don't have a way of tracking how many or where the way I do with Vote Forward. I like to alternate. I ordered another 100 postcards from Postcard to Voters, probably to use in special elections unless they arrive soon....
@ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialI've written to NC, NV, TX, AZ, CA, CO, GA, MI, OH, OR, NJ, NM, WI...lots of options.
@ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialI'm down to my last 10 letters to reach my goal of 100 letters this year. But @votefwd.bsky.social wants to reach 1M voters before 10/24 and needs more help (160k letters to be exact)! You can write for all kinds of campaigns.
@neonpajamas.bsky.socialReposted by @ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialMy new book of poems, UNCLE TIME, is out today!
It's a collection of linked surreal prose poems loosely inspired by my upbringing in Nowhere, Indiana
I'm quite proud of this weird little book

Loads of pumpkin references/jumping off points for further research in this piece.
@ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialThank you for sharing, Nicola! 🎃
@jadoogan.bsky.socialReposted by @ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialI did this class virtually two years ago and I think about it all the time. Go if you’re local!

@ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialAt first I thought, why is this book 20 hours? Am I going to make it past the 20 minute mark? And now, I am like, yes, thank goodness, I still have 9 hours of this wonderful nonsense. More goldy liquid, please. More "oops."
@ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialReposted by @ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialI'm honored to see my @orionmagazine.bsky.social piece on garlic included in this @thefern.org round up alongside pieces from The New York Times, The New Yorker, The New Republic, & Long Reads. Lots of good stuff in the round up. Have we reached peak protein? I hope so.
@ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialThanks so much, Ruth! Agreed! After reading my essay, my uncle informed me he will only follow recipes requiring an entire head of garlic...

@ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialI dislike when my yoga app plays the theme song from American Beauty during savasana. Then I'm just replaying scenes from that movie in my head instead of emptying my brain.
@maureenlangloss.bsky.socialReposted by @ancaszilagyi.bsky.socialAnne Carson. Yes. Just absolutely, yes.
