Gerald So<p>The site lost a news outlet last year when I left <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Twitter</span></a>, but I couldn't stay in good conscience. Everything has a natural lifespan. It's better to end at the right time than force things simply to keep going. I look forward to new opportunities. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TheFiveTwo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TheFiveTwo</span></a></p>

Sylvia Wenmackers 🦉🍀<p>I just recorded a reading of my poem "Ballad of Menstruation and Crime", which will appear on The Five Two next week. It's inspired by a criminology paper from the sixties that I found while doing research for an unfinished story.<br>The Five Two has been publishing a new poem on current and historical wrongdoing once a week for nearly 12 years. <a href="https://poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> So, send <span class="h-card"><a href="https://masto.ai/@sogerald" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>sogerald</span></a></span> your crime-themed poem and help his site continue for a 13th year: <a href="https://poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/p/guidelines.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/p/gu</span><span class="invisible">idelines.html</span></a><br><a href="https://scholar.social/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poetry</span></a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/TheFiveTwo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheFiveTwo</span></a></p>
