i got knocked off facebook on july 2nd, (and where to find me otherwise,

in case anyone was wondering where I've been. I have been fielding an array of emails on the subject, asking if I've blocked or unfriended anyone; I haven't, I've been knocked off, with a perpetual "you submitted an appeal" notice when I try to log in, saying that it usually takes but a day or two to "review your information," but I've been in limbo since, as I said, July 2nd. It's maddening, as it means I've lost hundreds of friends and family contacts. It isn't the same, but if you wish, you can follow me via bsky here, or my instagram here, or sign up for the weekly "Tuesday poem" email list, which often includes multiple other notices for readings, publications, above/ground press, periodicities, Touch the Donkey, the ottawa small press book fair etcetera. I've also a bsky account for periodicities: a journal of poetry and poetics, the ottawa small press book fair, Chaudiere Books and the (ottawa) small press almanac (given all those facebook groups are now lost to me). Separately, we've a monthly email list for VERSe Ottawa/VERSeFest: Ottawa's International Poetry Festival, or you can sign up (free, if you wish) to my weekly and incredibly clever substack here (where I've been offering excerpts of various non-fiction works-in-progress), or to the above/ground press substack (entirely and completely free), where one can be reminded of events, new publications and even a bunch of brand-new interviews with above/ground press authors. Not the same as facebook, I know, but I don't know what else to do there, as the whole system seems deliberately built to refuse anyone support. Might it reappear? God only knows.
